Cemex Vernalis Quarry Mining and Reolamtion Pmject expected to continue to operate at a level of service D based on near-term-without-Project conditions.Haul Route 1 is not expected to create new traffic at the intersection and therefore is not considered to impact the intersection However Haul Route 3 would result only in through traffic A review of peak-hour traffic signal warrants suggests that traffic signals are not warranted at the intersection based on existing and near-term-with-Project conditions. The intersection is expected to operate at a level of service F in the year 2025 even without the proposed project Haul Route 1 is not expected to create additional impacts in the year 2025 To mitigate the impacts created by Haul Route 3 on opening day, all-way stop control would be required However,all-way stop control should not be installed unless warrants are satisfied after the imposed proiect begins operating Since Haul Route 3 is expected to be an interim altemate route it is unlikely that warrants for all-way stop control will be met on a long-term basis. Therefore,this impact may be considered adverse but not significant. To mitigate the cumulative impacts with Haul Route 3 in the year 2025, all-way stop control with construction of a westbound left-tum lane is expected to be required. As an altemative to mitigating cumulative year 2025 conditions,the proposed project may be conditioned to eliminate Haul Route 3 after the construction of the Bird Road/SR 132 interchange,at which time only _ Haul Route 1 would be allowable. Intersection of SR 132 and Vernalis Road (Connector to SR 33) The analyses indicate that the intersection of SR 132 and Vemalis Road is currently operating at a level of service F The existing substandard level of service is primarily a result of the difficulty encrienced by vehicles attempting to turn left across traffic on SR 132. The proposed haul routes do not propose left tums at the intersection. Haul Route 1 and Haul Route 3 will result only in additional through movements on SR 132. Therefore, Project-specific significant impacts are not identified. ~ Intersection of Welty Road and Blewett Road _ The analyses indicate that the intersection of Welty Road and Blewett Road is currently operating at acceptable levels of service and is expected to continue to operate at acceptable levels of service based on the near-term and cumulative conditions. — Intersection of SR 33 and Welty Road The analyses indicate that the intersection of SR 33 and Welty Road is currently operating at acceptable levels of service and is expected to continue to operate at acceptable levels of service based on the near-term without-Project conditions.Haul Route 1 is not expected to create opening-day significant impacts However Haul Route 3 is expected to result in an opening-day impact that would require mitigation. The intersection is expected to operate at a level of service C in the year 2025 without the proposed project and Haul Route 1 will not create additional impacts in the year 2025. However, Haul Route 3 would exacerbate the cumulative year 2025 impacts to a level of service F. _ Cemex Vernals Quarry Miring and Reclamation Project 4-34 ESA 1203=15 Final Envnonmental Impact Report June 2[x18
