Item No. 5-81-6 P/C 4--16-81 Page 3 You may formally respond to the agencies ' comments by writing to them, including the State Clearinghouse number on all such correspondence. You should attempt to resolve any concerns of state agencies before taking further action on the project. Once you have responded to the comments, state review of your draft environmental document will be complete. If you would care for assistance, the Office of Planning and Research is available to help identify responsible agencies, organize coordination meetings, mediate disputes, and hold consolidated hearings. " From: Air Resources Board "My staff has reviewed the Negative Declaration (ND) for the proposed project and find the ND does not contain sufficient air quality data to support the conclusion of no adverse environmental_ impacts. The ND needs to expand its description of the project ' s size, projected vehicle traffic, and the air quality impacts of this development. Section 15084 (b) of the California Environmental Quality Act states, "An EIR should be prepared whenever it can be fairly argued on the basis of substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. " (emphasis added) . Should this information reveal a signi- ficant impact on air quality, an Environmental Impact Report would be necessary. San Joaquin County has been designated nonattainment for not attaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozc?re, carbon monoxide, and total suspended particulate matter. Any incremental increases in pollution not accounted for in the Air Quality Maintenance Plan may dely the County' s efforts in achieving good air quality. If you have any questions, please contact Sue Scott, of my staff at (916) 445-0960. We would appreciate receiving the additional information requested and/or the EIR. " From: Department of Transportation "We have reviewed the above-noted report and offer the following comments: A left-turn pocket will be required on State Highway 120 at the proposed entrance to the subdivision. The county has a right of way setback plan along Route 120. For work performed within the State highway richt of way, an encroachment permit will be required. Application for the permit may be obtained at our District Office, 1976 E. Charter Way, P. O. Box 2048, Stockton, CA 95201.
