X , <br /> 4 <br /> 9.a. <br /> The application materials do not specify a haul route or indicate <br /> the anticipated number of daily truck trips associated with the <br /> project. It is likely that trucks will travel on Koster Road to <br /> Vernalis Road/State Route 132 and access Interstate 5 at the State <br /> Route 132/1-5 interchange. The EIR prepared for the Teichert <br /> Aggregates Quarry Excavation (QX-91-5) , directly west of this <br /> project, noted that SR 132 is already operating at an unacceptable <br /> level of service between I-580 and Koster Road and that trucks <br /> hauling aggregate materials will likely accelerate deterioration of <br /> the roadway structure of SR 132 and- other area roadways. <br /> 10. <br /> Excavation will significantly impact any archaeological resources <br /> that may exist on the site. No records search or site <br /> reconnaissance has been done of the project site to determine if <br /> there are or are likely to be cultural resources on the site. l <br /> 12. <br /> The processing plant will be approximately 40 feet above grade and <br /> will be highly visible from surrounding properties, including <br /> Interstate 5. The excavation itself may also be visible from <br /> Interstate 5. <br /> 14. <br /> The project is located within an area containing significant <br /> aggregate deposits and, thus, several other aggregate operations. <br /> Given the existence of other aggregate operations, there are likely <br /> emulative impacts relative to the following: traffic, air <br /> to be c g <br /> P <br /> quality, biological resources, and visual/aesthetics. <br /> 16.a. 10 b. , C. , do <br /> As discussed above, the project is likely to have significant <br /> impacts in the following areas: geotechnical/earth resources, <br /> biological resources, noise, air quality, cultural resources, <br /> traffic, and aesthetics. It is also unknown if the 88-acre pit <br /> floor can realistically be reclaimed to row crops or other <br /> agricultural uses. <br /> Initial Study - 10 - QX-96-1 <br />
