Mr. Chandler Martin -2- _ DRAFTER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR RMC VERNALIS QUARRY as trucks turning south onto Koster Road from Blewett Road. Additionally, the County will require the project to pay its fair share for improvements to the intersection of Blewett Road and Bird Road, and enter a maintenance agreement for its fair share of maintenance of County roadways 1-6 cont. - from the project's driveway access to the Bird Road interchange at State Highway Route 132 (SR132)." 7) Page 2-7 states under Mitigation 4.4.1 b for Impact 4.4.1 that, "As a condition of approval, once in production, the applicant will be required to contribute an equitable share of the cost of the construction of a new interchange at SR132 and Bird Road. The fee will consist of an initial contribution and a per-ton-delivered off-site fee, based on the equitable share of the project's _7 traffic impact and quantity of delivered material." This is again stated on page 4.4-17. The County has advised the applicant that the funding mechanism for the interchange project, whether as described or other, must be in-place with secured capital to construct the interchange. Further, the County has advised the applicant that staff will not support any additional truck traffic using the existing at-grade interchange, and therefore will not support issuance of a quarry excavation permit until the interchange is constructed and operational. Please revise current statements in the DEIR accordingly. 8) General comment relative to the proposed Haul Route Option#2—the County has indicated that _ staff will not support this haul route option as previously indicated in correspondence with County 1-8 Community Development Staff and the applicant. Please revise the DEIR accordingly to reflect this. 9) General comment relative to the proposed Haul Route Option #3—the County has indicated that I 1-9 staff will not support this haul route option per previous correspondence and meetings with the applicant. Please revise the DEIR accordingly to reflect this. 10) Page 4.4-3, under the "Local Roadway Access" heading, states that McCracken and Bird Roads are classified as collector roads. This is not correct—they are classified as local roads per the 1-10 - County's maintained mileage reporting system and the California Road System (CRS) maps. Please revise accordingly. 11) Figure 4.4-3, which indicates the project's trip distribution, has multiple percentage and direction errors (see attached corrected figure). In addition, it shows distribution on the segment of Koster Road between Blewett Road and SR132. This route (referred in the document as Haul Route Option 2), is not supported by County staff. Further, the freeway agreement between the County 1 1 — and Caltrans does not include an interchange at Koster Road. Please revise the figure to reflect zero project trip distribution on this segment of Koster Road. 12) Page 4.4-6 indicates that a "seasonal adjustment factor"was used to account for summer peak traffic. Please indicate what factor was used, the basis for the factor's determination, and I 1-12 calculations showing the application of the factor to the project's trip generation. — 13) Page 4.4-7 indicates that Table 4.4-3 shows the existing road segment level-of-service analyses based on the Florida Department of Transportation tables. Please revise to use the Highway 1-13 — Capacity Manual HCS2000 methodology, as the County does not recognize the Florida Department of Transportation methodology. 14) Page 4.4-15 discusses the intersection of SR132 and Koster Road. The County notes that the freeway agreement between the County and Caltrans does not include an interchange at Koster 1-14 Road, and therefore, Caltrans has the authority to close this intersection at their discretion.
