L, Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.0-12 <br /> Forward Inc. Landfill 2014 Expansion Project <br /> As shown in the 2013 DEIR Summary of Impacts and Mitigation Measures Table,no feasible mitigation <br /> measures are available to reduce the projects contribution to cumulative noise impacts. It should be <br /> noted that sound barriers are not feasible in the semi-rural areas that would be affected by cumulative <br /> traffic increases,because the barriers would be far removed from the activity areas of sensitive <br /> im receptors and the sound barriers would generally be an unnatural barrier not only to noise but also to <br /> distant views now possible in these areas. Thus,no mitigations are available for this cumulative <br /> impact other than reducing project operations. Such a reduction would be a substantial change to the <br /> %W proposed project and therefore is addressed as a component of Alternative 2B (Reduced Size/Reduced <br /> Daily Operations Alternative) in Chapter V of the 2013 EIR. Therefore, the project's noise increment is <br /> considered to be cumulatively considerable and the cumulative traffic noise impact is considered <br /> significant and unavoidable. <br /> L. <br /> s <br /> bw <br /> r.. <br />
