Munn&Perkins Quarry Excavation Permit <br /> Distinctive Environmental Characteristics <br /> The following summarizes potential impacts of the"No Project"alternative and compares them <br /> to the impacts of the proposed project: <br /> Visual and Lighting <br /> Under the No Project Alternative,no physical change would occur at the project site and potential <br /> visual impacts related to additional safety lighting would be avoided. <br /> a <br /> Traffic and Circulation <br /> Under the No Project Alternative, local traffic conditions would remain the same to those <br /> experienced at the current time. Project related truck traffic would be limited to the hours of 5 <br /> a.m. to 9 p.m. and traffic related impacts from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. would be avoided. <br /> Air Quality and Climate Change <br /> Under the No Project Alternative,air emissions from the existing operation,including haul trucks, <br /> would be the same as those experienced at the current time.Nighttime concerns,regarding potential <br /> odor effects would be avoided,but normal operations including production of rubberized and non- <br /> rubberized asphalt would continue during the day. <br /> Noise <br /> Under the No Project Alternative,there would be no new nighttime noise sources in the vicinity of <br /> the project site. Existing on-site and off-site noise sources during the hours of 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. <br /> would continue. <br /> 4.2.2 Alternative 2 — West Only Haul Route Altemative <br /> Description <br /> This alternative would require all nighttime truck traffic to enter and exit the facility via westbound. <br /> E. River Road. Trucks would be required to utilize McHenry Avenue in order to reach E.River <br /> Road. This haul route reduces the significance of noise related impacts to sensitive residential <br /> receptors located east of the project site entrance along E.River Road.However,residences west of <br /> the project site entrance along E.River Road would still experience noise related impacts during <br /> nighttime operations. <br /> Distinctive Environmental Characteristics <br /> The following summarizes potential impacts of the west only haul route alternative and compares - <br /> them to the impacts of the proposed project: <br /> Visual and Lighting <br /> The west only haul route alternative would result in the same impacts(less than significant)to <br /> visual resources as the proposed project. <br /> Munn&Perkins Quarry Excavation Permit 4-4 ESA f 211086 <br /> Draft EIR April 2011 <br />
