San Joaquin County Community Environmental Setting,Impacts,and Mitigation Measures <br /> Development Department Agricultural Resources,Land Use,and Planning <br /> Park,the Tracy Sports Complex, and Robert Kellogg Park. These parks are <br /> located approximately 8 miles north and west of the site. <br /> The project site is located adjacent to the Delta-Mendota Canal. However,the <br /> canal is elevated above the project site and is approximately 20 feet west of the <br /> project site boundary. Operation and access to the canal would not be affected <br /> by the implementation of the Project. <br /> Because the Project includes construction of perimeter fencing and berms along <br /> +' Koster and Blewett Roads, as described in the project description,trespass onto <br /> or from the site is not expected to be a significant issue. The Project is not <br /> anticipated to disrupt a natural or recreation area, affect access to waterways,or <br /> r allow trespass onto surrounding land. Therefore this impact is considered less <br /> than significant. No mitigation is required. <br /> Impact LU-7: Affect the Potential Use, Extraction, <br /> Conservation, or Depletion of a Natural Resource other <br /> than Agricultural Land (No Impact) <br /> The proposed Project involves the extraction of known mineral resources(rock, <br /> y" sand, and gravel),identified and classified as MRZ-3. The MRZ-3 classification <br /> is intended to be used to identify mineral resources so they can be included in the <br /> local planning process and be made available for future use/extraction. The <br /> r classification of a mineral resource does not require mining of the resource; it <br /> only identifies areas of sufficient deposit to warrant conservation for future <br /> use/extraction. The proposed Project would not decrease availability of the <br /> mineral resource as could be expected if the site were developed with a <br /> residential subdivision or a retail development;rather, it would further the <br /> extraction of known mineral resources in the area and would then return the land <br /> s to agricultural uses upon conclusion of mining activities, consistent with the <br /> existing and planned land uses of the area. There would be no impact. No <br /> mitigation is required. <br /> r <br /> r <br /> r <br /> r DeSilva Gates Quarry Project <br /> Draft Environmental Impact Report 3.6-15 <br /> AS 05105.05 <br />
