6 . 0 PROJECT ALTERNATIVES <br /> 6 . 1 No Project <br /> If this Conditional Use Permit application is denied , the <br /> quarrying operation would not occur . Mineable reserves exist <br /> throughout the area, but as permitted reserves are depleted, <br /> there will be continued pressures for additional quarry <br /> development . Resulting in less optimal resources being mined in <br /> the area with greater impacts . No significant adverse <br /> environmental impacts or adverse changes have been identified <br /> in this report that would be avoided or mitigated by this <br /> alternative . <br /> 6 . 2 Alternative Design : Smaller Scale Operation <br /> In this alternative, a Conditional Use Permit for a <br /> smaller-scale operation would be applied for . The principle <br /> effects of this alternative would be a reduction in the <br /> duration of the project , and a reduction in the total volume of <br /> material to be processed . Somewhat fewer surface acres of the <br /> site would be disrupted by quarrying Any potentially <br /> significant environmental effects identified in this report <br /> would also occur with the smaller-scale operation . As mineable <br /> reserves remain, there could be continued pressures for quarry <br /> development . Landmark Lathrop Group, LLC needs to know that <br /> they can excavate their reserves of sand for the San Joaquin <br /> County area for the next 3-4 years . No significant <br /> unmitigatable adverse environmental effects would be avoided or <br /> mitigated by this alternative . <br /> Landmark Lathrop Group, LLC <br /> - 1 - February 3, 2000 <br />
