EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Continued) The study intersections and road segments were determined based on their proximity to the site and the amount of Project traffic expected in consultation with County and Caltrans staff. This report includes analysis of the following intersections: • Blewett Road and Bird Road; • Blewett Road and Koster Road; • Blewett Road and Welty Road; • SR 132 and Bird Road; • SR 132 and Interstate 5 interchange; • SR 132 and Koster Road; • SR 132 and SR 33 interchange (two at-grade intersections); • SR 132 and Welty Road; • SR 132 and McCracken Road; • SR 33 and Welty Road;and _ • SR 33 and Interstate 5 interchange (two at-grade intersections). This report includes analysis of the following road segments: • Bird Road: Blewett Road to SR 132; — • SR 132: Chrisman Road to Bird Road; • SR 132:Bird Road to Interstate 5; • SR 132: Interstate 5 to Koster Road; • SR 132:Koster Road to McCracken Road; • Blewett Road:Bird Road to Interstate 5; and r • Blewett Road:Interstate 5 to Koster Road. The intersections and road segments listed above are identified in Figure 5, Intersection and Segment Location Map. The study time periods included the weekday a.m.peak hour,which typically occurs between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. The peak-hour scenarios were to be analyzed for the following conditions: • Existing Conditions; • Near-Term Without Project(Existing Conditions plus Approved Projects); • Near-Term With Project—Haul Route 1; • Near-Term With Project—Haul Route 3; • Cumulative Year 2025 Conditions Without Project; • Cumulative Year 2025 Conditions With Project—Haul Route 1; and — • Cumulative Year 2025 Conditions With Project—Haul Route 3. The p.m. peak hour of background traffic, which typically occurs between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m., was not analyzed because the Project traffic is expected to decrease significantly between approximately — 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. The San Joaquin County Guidelines for the Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies indicates all County roadways shall operate at LOS C or better (except in a City sphere of influence where the City has adopted LOS D); intersections shall operate at an overall LOS D or better on minor arterials and roadways of higher classification; and LOS C on all other roads; all freeways and State _ highways shall operate at LOS D. In urban areas,a level of service D is often considered acceptable.
