San Joaquin County Community Environmental Setting,Impacts,and Mitigation Measures <br /> Development Department Public Services and Utilities <br /> Thresholds of Significance <br /> Based on the thresholds of significance identified in the initial study prepared by <br /> the County,the proposed Project would result in a significant impact on public <br /> services or utilities if it would <br /> — ■ require alteration of,addition to, or the need for utility systems (water,sewer, <br /> drainage, solid waste), including a sphere of influence or district boundary <br /> change; <br /> ■ result in the need for or the expansion of the following services: fire and <br /> police protection, schools,parks and recreation,libraries,roads, flood <br /> .. control, solid waste or other public works facilities,public transit, or <br /> governmental services; <br /> ■ adversely impact existing recreational/park opportunities or require new <br /> park/recreational opportunities; or <br /> ■ use substantial amounts of fuel or energy,require a substantial increase in <br /> demand upon existing sources,or require the development of new sources of <br /> energy. <br /> Impacts and Mitigation Measures <br /> Impact PUB-1 : Increased Demand for Water Supply <br /> Resulting in Alteration or Need for Expansion of Water <br /> Supply Systems (Less than Significant with Mitigation <br /> Incorporated) <br /> As described in section 3.11, "Groundwater and Groundwater Quality,"both the <br /> active mining and reclamation periods of the project are anticipated to result in a <br /> net increase in water consumption compared to the existing agricultural <br /> operations(baseline conditions). As a result, the Project's impact on overall <br /> ., water supply is considered significant. In addition,water use under the proposed <br /> Project would represent a shift from the use of surface water for baseline <br /> agricultural operations to complete dependence on groundwater. Mitigation <br /> ` Measures GW-I a,GW-lb, and GW-3 are designed to maintain groundwater <br /> levels or otherwise avoid adverse impacts and ensure consistency with the San <br /> Joaquin County General Plan. Implementation of these mitigation measures <br /> would ensure potential impacts are reduced to a less-than-significant level. <br /> ` No additional mitigation is necessary. <br /> DeSilva Gates Quarry Project <br /> Draft Environmental Impact Report 3.K-7 <br /> J85 05105 0 <br /> i <br />
