1I/Ib%Z004 IisD1 �uowoo�ra Page 2 of 2 below ground level on river bottom land. Not only is it situated in a"hole in the ground" but it is buffered by the Stanislaus River,the river bluff,and a mature walnut orchard and probably a 100 acres grape vineyard. An accurate reading compared to the proposed area is not obtainable. It is like comparing apples to oranges. The Hendrick site ( proposed site)on the contrary is located at ground level with absolutely no natural sound barriers in a heavily traveled noisy area. When the present orchards are removed the sound barrier which is protecting the Henry Road area and maintaining an acceptable noise level will be gone and the noise levels will increase substantially increasing the noise to unacceptable levels. 5. 1 understand that the proposed project will be done in three phases. However, neither map reflects any sound barrier on the north side of phase one or two The mitigation measures recommended in this report are inadequate. The noise study is not reflective of what it will be when orchards are removed. Comparative analysis uses locations which offer unfair comparisons. People in this area did not object to the original quarry in this area,or to its expansion because it offered the perfect location with natural sound barriers, out of site, and non-intrusive to the area residents. However, the proposed operation is not appropriate in this location. The residents in this area plea with you to deny this application.
