r Section 5 addr1 1aes environmental effectsC ' the project extension and the proposed mitigations. The discussion addresses the existing development within the area that would be affected Ff by this project, potential environmental consequences resulting from project continuation, and the proposed mitigation measures which could be implemented to minimize anticipated environmental impacts. Section 6 presents project alternatives. Section 7 discusses the relationship between short-term use of the environment versus long-term productivity. The cumulative and long-term effects of the proposed project which adversely s n affect the state of the environment are analyzed. Section 8 discusses the significant irreversible adverse r-- environmental changes which may occur as a result of this pro- ject. None have been identified as a result of this project. Section 9 discusses the cumulative impacts and growth induc- ing impacts as they relate to the continuation of operations at KRC Aggregate, Inc. Section 10 is the Reclamation Plan. 1.4 Summary of Impacts And Proposed Mitigation Measures This section is a summary of the potentially significant environmental impacts resulting from the continuation of quarry- ing activities at KRC Aggregate, Inc. Please refer to Section 5 for a more detailed discussion. + 1.4. 1 Land Use The proposed project extension will not change the existing land use at the project site. The existing land use is cattle grazing and sand and gravel quarry. The area is zoned for quarry operations. Our proposed reclamation plan will return the quarry pits to pasture land. No County Land Use Plans or Policies will be affected by the project. No significant impacts or adverse • environmental changes will result. 1.4.2 Air Quality Potentially significant adverse environmental impacts in- clude the production of fugitive dust emissions from processing operations and haultruck traffic. These impacts will be minimized to a level of insignificance or avoided by specific mitigation measures including: 1) fugi- tive dust emissions shall be controlled by maintaining the entire processing operation in a saturated state utilizing a recycled `^ water system; and 2) by adequately wetting all access and haul roads at such a frequency as required to prevent emission of fugitive particulate matter. 1 , t KRC Aggregate, Inc. } - 2 - April 1, 1994
