Cemex Vernalis Quany Mining and Reclamation Pmjed Response to Comment 1-8 Commenter states that the County has indicated that staff will not support Haul Route Option#2. Haul Route 2 has been eliminated from consideration. Response to Comment 1-9 Commenter states that the County has indicated that staffwill not support Haul Route Option#3. Haul Route 3 is analyzed in the EIR only as an interim route should construction of the SR- _ 132/Bird Road interchange be delayed. The applicant will be required to contribute their fair share to the interchange even if Haul Route 3 is temporarily allowed. In addition,total annual tonnage allowed on Haul Route 3 is less than 50%of maximum annual production. If Haul Route 3 is used,hauled tonnage will be reduced to 1.33 million TPY,all truck traffic will be directed to use SR 33 all the way to I-5 thereby reducing impacts at SR 132,and feasible safety enhancements will be incorporated at Welty Road and SR 33 including: vegetation clearance to — improve sight lines,striping,acceleration and deceleration lanes,turning radii,and signage to manage queuing at the railroad tracks. Those safety enhancements are ser forth in a May 28,2008 memorandum by David Peters and are identified in the Final EIR. Finally, in order to make the applicant's economic contributions to the Haul Route I interchange viable,an interim alternative route is necessary.
