San Joaquin County Community Project Description <br /> Development Department <br /> Project Objectives <br /> Applicant Objectives <br /> The Applicant has identified the following specific objectives to meet its goal of _ <br /> developing the maximum known aggregate reserves that can feasibly be mined <br /> within the current design plan area. <br /> ■ Location: Secure approvals to mine the reserves onsite,which are located <br /> within the southwestern portion of San Joaquin County, thus providing a <br /> reliable and economic source to meet current and projected demand in the <br /> region. <br /> ■ Profit: Responsibly operate a profitable aggregate mine and processing <br /> facility. _ <br /> ■ Period: Provide for approximately 40 years of approved aggregate <br /> extraction, in accordance with availability of known resource reserves, <br /> mining and reclamation plans,and foreseeable market demands. <br /> Implementation and monitoring final reclamation activities would be <br /> completed within 6-12 months of exhaustion of reserves or expiration of the <br /> permit. _ <br /> ■ Production: Provide for a total permitted production level of up to 20 <br /> million cubic yards (30 million tons); with sequencing broken into different <br /> mining phases depending on geology, terrain,current technological <br /> capabilities,and the intent to incorporate the visual screening provided by the <br /> existing terrain. <br /> ■ Employment: Provide onsite staffing of 5-10 employees through the <br /> production life of the mine. Two shifts could be employed when special <br /> night operations are needed and three to five workers would be added to the <br /> labor force. <br /> ■ Site conservation: Avoid sensitive natural resources;minimize aesthetic <br /> impacts through site design,phasing,and concurrent reclamation; and _ <br /> implement reclamation concurrently with mining operations throughout the <br /> life of the mine to return the site to a productive postmining agricultural land <br /> use. <br /> Lead Agency Project Objectives _ <br /> The County has not identified any separate goals or objectives for the project in <br /> addition to those identified by the Applicant and stated above. <br /> DeSilva Gates Quarry Project <br /> Draft Environmental Impact Report 2-2 <br /> J85 05105.05 <br />
