3.Response to CorrerreMs 111a. illaa Response to Comment 1-4 The commenter states that the applicant would need to demonstrate slope stability with the proposed re-vegetation prior to approval. r Slope stability of the 2:1 reclaimed mining area was found to be a less than significant impact (Impact 4.7.1). The DEIR analysis is based in part on geotechnical studies prepared by Geomatrix la. (2002)and Kleinfelder(2005)to assess the slope stability of the proposed project. r Response to Comment 1-5 The commenter notes that "traffic volumes"and "truckload"numbers are not synonymous for the r purposed of truck vehicle volumes. Comment noted. Truckoads,based on a 25-ion capacity truck,are used to calculate the number of truck trips. One "truckload"would consist of two truck trips—one inbound and one outbound. See table 4.44. Response to Comment 1-6 Commenter states that, on page 2-7,Mitigation 4.4.1a for Impact 4.4.1, the County previously Lconditioned the project's access be via Koster Road, and the County requires the necessary improvements to the Koster/Blewett intersection for trucks turning west onto Blewett Road from L Koster Road as well as trucks turning south onto Koster Road from Blewett Road. Commenter also notes that the project is required 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 from the projects driveway access to the Bird Road 6. interchange at SRI 32. V Please see revised traffic impact study. Impacts and mitigation measures for Koster/Blewett and it Bird/Blewett have been identified in the study,and appropriate revisions have been made in the EIR section. Response to Comment 1-7 h Commenter requests that Mitigation 4.4.lb, on pages 2-7 and 4.4-17 be corrected to remove the 61 phrase "once in production"from the mitigation measure. Commenter states that the funding mechanism for the interchange project must be in-place with secured capital to construct the interchange. Commenter states that the County will not support any additional truck traffic using the existing at-grade interchange, and therefore will not support issuance ofa quarry excavation permit until the interchange is constructed and operational. Mitigation Measure 4.4.lb has been revised. In addition,Haul Route 3 is proposed as an interim haul route.
