Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.B-38 Forward Inc. Landfill 2014 Expansion Project improvements shall occur when the intersection LOS drops to LOS D or worse, and construction shall occur within one year from issuance of permits for the Project. The schedules for each intersection shall be independent. Monitoring shall continue until the mitigation measures are implemented, through the termination of landfilling under the 2014 Expansion Project. If either intersection remains at LOS C or better until termination of landfilling under j the 2014 Expansion Project, the implementation of the mitigation at that intersection shall no longer be required. Mitigation Measure B.7 would reduce impacts to the Austin/Mariposa and Austin/French a Camp intersections to less than significant levels. Impact B.B. Potential Impact on Travel Speed on Austin Road Under Cumulative Conditions. (Revises 2013 EIR Impact B.8) Existing-Plus-Approved Projects (EPAP) Near-Term Cumulative Impacts L Table IV.B-12(Table IV.B-13 in the 2013 EIR) shows the results of the road segment evaluation for near-term cumulative conditions for the previously proposed project as discussed in the 2013 EIR. Under EPAP cumulative-plus-project conditions, the segment of Austin Road j between Arch Road and the project driveway would operate acceptably at LOS A in both directions during both peak periods. The 2014 update of the transportation study found that the previous analysis of travel speeds on Austin Road also would apply to the 2014 Expansion 4 Project. As discussed under Impact B.2, above, traffic signals were installed at the California low Heath Care Facility entrance on Austin Road after the vehicle speed analysis was conducted by Republic ITS in 2012. When this traffic light is red for vehicle approaches on Austin Road, it may result in a small decrease in vehicle speed along the study segment of Austin Road. However, since the projected LOS levels are A, the traffic signal is not expected to worsen the travel speed LOS to unacceptable conditions. Therefore, the 2014 Expansion Project's near-term cumulative impact on travel speed would be less than significant.

Furthermore, the 2014 Expansion Project would not generate traffic in 2035 or make a contribution to cumulative traffic in 2035. For both of these reasons, the 2014 Expansion Project would have no impact on travel speeds on Austin Road under Year 2035 Cumulative Conditions and no mitigation would be required. 6-
