Appendix C:Initial Study Checklist Former Marley Cooling Tower Company,Stockton,CA <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS: <br /> 1.Aesthetics <br /> Description of Baseline Environmental Conditions: The site is bounded on the north by light industry, on the east by the <br /> Stockton Diverting Canal, to the west by a high school, and to the south by residential areas. Franklin High School is <br /> located approximately 100 feet away. <br /> Analysis as to whether or not project activities would: <br /> a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista. <br /> Impact Analysis: During field work (injection program, horizontal well installation, etc.), heavy equipment will be <br /> temporarily mobilized to the site that may not be aesthetically pleasing. If the field activities are successful, existing <br /> treatment facilities can be removed. <br /> Conclusion: <br /> ❑ Potentially Significant Impact <br /> ❑ Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated <br /> ® Less Than Significant Impact <br /> ❑ No Impact <br /> b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to,frees, rock outcroppings and historic buildings <br /> within a state scenic highway. <br /> Impact Analysis: As a result of the nature of the proposed remedial action, no scenic resources will be damaged <br /> during field activities. All on- and off-site remedial action will be subsurface work (i.e., injection into the subsurface via <br /> a borehole and horizontal well installations). After all work is completed, the surface area will be restored to like <br /> original condition. <br /> Conclusion: <br /> [] Potentially Significant Impact <br /> ❑ Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated <br /> ® Less Than Significant Impact <br /> ❑ No Impact <br /> c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings. <br /> Impact Analysis: The current visual character includes industrial buildings and treatment facilities. While heavy <br /> equipment will be on-site temporarily, the long-term visual character of the site will not be affected, or may be <br /> improved in the long term if treatment facilities can be removed. <br /> Conclusion: <br /> ❑ Potentially Significant Impact <br /> ❑ Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated <br /> Less Than Significant Impact <br /> ❑ No Impact <br /> d. Create a new source of substantial light of glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area. <br /> Impact Analysis: No new source of substantial light or glare will be created that would adversely affect day or <br /> nighttime views. All field work activities are proposed during regular business working hours, or during daylight hours, <br /> from approximately 7 A.M.to 7 P.M., Monday through Friday. <br /> Conclusion: <br /> ❑ Potentially Significant Impact <br /> ❑ Potentially Significant Unless Mitigated <br /> ❑ Less Than Significant Impact <br /> ® No Impact <br /> References Used., <br /> 1, 3 <br /> Page 5 of 25 <br />
