filters to control stormwater; and truck tire muck shakers, or similar devices, to prevent mud and debris from being carried onto roadways. Landscaping The Project would not include landscaping. PROPOSED SCOPE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT Based on the Lead Agency's understanding of the environmental issues associated with the proposed project, the topics anticipated to require analysis in the draft EIR will include, but not be limited to, the following:aesthetics,agriculture and forestry resources,air quality, biological resources,tribal and cultural resources, energy,geology and soils,greenhouse gas emissions(GHG), hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, recreation, transportation, utilities and public services, and wildfire. The Lead Agency will not prepare an Initial Study for this project. In accordance with Section 15082(a)(I)(C) of the State CEQA Guidelines, below is a summary of the potential environmental effects of the proposed project for each environmental resource to be analyzed in the draft EIR. Aesthetics:The proposed project may result in environmental impacts to aesthetic resources.The EIR will evaluate whether implementation of the project could result in significant alterations to viewsheds and visual character as well as lighting and glare conditions. Visual simulations of the proposed project under post-development conditions will be prepared. Agriculture and Forestry Resources: The proposed project may result in environmental impacts to agricultural resources.The EIR will evaluate whether implementation of the project could result in adverse impacts or loss of agricultural resources(temporary and permanent) in the County.The extent of potential resource loss will be identified as well as the extent of potential conflict with agricultural operations based on consultation with the County and agricultural stakeholders. Air Quality:Air quality impacts are anticipated to be primarily limited to construction-related emissions.The EIR will identify current ambient air quality conditions of the County and will review and identify applicable federal, state, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, and County policies and regulations. The potential air quality impacts will be described based on the project-specific technical report. Biological Resources:The proposed project may result in environmental impacts to biological resources.A summary of important biological resources (e.g., habitats, known locations of special-status species, movement corridors, designated critical habitat) will be mapped and provided in the EIR. The extent of potential impacts will be described based on the project-specific technical reports. Tribal and Cultural Resources: The proposed project may result in environmental impacts to tribal and cultural resources. The cultural resources section of the EIR will describe the known resources on the project site and vicinity, if any, and potential for impacts to those resources. If necessary, mitigation and monitoring measures will be described. This section will be based on a Cultural Resources Technical Report. Assembly Bill 52 involves formal consultation by the County with the potentially affected tribes. Formal notification by the County to California Native American tribes that have requested such notification of the project offering consultation under Assembly Bill 52 were prepared and sent September 21, 2022. Energy: The proposed project may result in environmental impacts to energy resources. As part of the preparation of the project-specific Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, and Energy Technical Report, energy consumed by construction and operation of the proposed project will be estimated and assessed. Geology and Soils:The proposed project may result in environmental impacts to geology and soils.The EIR will provide mapping and technical information on geologic and seismic stability of the project site including information on soil conditions. Greenhouse Gases Emissions:The proposed project is anticipated to benefit the County and state efforts to reduce GHG emissions during construction and has the potential for GHG emissions to be reduced as a result of renewable energy storage. Nonetheless, the project-specific Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, and Energy Technical Report cited above will assess the GHG emissions associated with project construction and operation. Hazards and Hazardous Materials:The proposed project may result in environmental impacts with regard to hazards and hazardous materials.The extent of potential exposure of County residents to hazards and 4
