AGRICULTURAL CONCERNS The subject 16 Acre parcel is currently bordered on the North by Middle Road. On the West 470' by a residence, 330' by Lammers Road. On the east 795' and West 1036' by agricultural land. An active Dairy operation is to the North on Lammers road. The site is located less then one mile from the Tracy city limits. To minimize any impact by this project and the church on the important operation of these neighboring farms and conversely their impact on this project the following considerations are being implemented into the design: The campus will be centrally located on the property, this should create an adequate buffer greatly reducing the potential of exposure to fugitive chemicals migrating from neighboring spraying operations. The HVAC systems will be designed to provide a slight positive pressure on the building envelope, utilizing activated carbon filters at fresh air make up intakes. This measure addresses the potential of any objectionable odors, increased airborne dust and insects likely to be encountered in an active farming region. (although none of these have been evident during several visits to the site) _ The site has been designed with an adequately sized storm water retention basin. Storm water resulting in run-off from this project will be retained on site without concern or the necessity of draining into existing canals for discharge at Old River. Phases I & 11 will utilize a mounded septic system for sewage disposal. The Nitrate loading study performed at the site reports no significant impact. Phase III is anticipated to include a package wastewater treatment plant as approved by the County Health Department as a further impact reduction. According to the traffic study report prepared by Omni Means Traffic Engineers (contracted by the County), No significant traffic impact is expected as a result of this project.
