As for noise the Mitigation measures contained in FEIR regarding having a truck monitor, Munn and Perkins is recommending hiring a retired CHP officer or retired law enforcement official to help monitor truck traffic during extended hours of operation. Shephard stated the Noise Consultant(Paul Bollard) has identified measures and that should reduce noise impacts to residences along the haul routes and can respond to Commissioners questions if needed. Also, Mr. Bollard has prepared a memo that specifically addresses the single-event noise disturbance impact for your review. He also stated, since the EIR concluded that there are two significant unavoidable impacts the Commission must also accept the Statement of Overriding Considerations and the twelve findings for all significant and unavoidable environmental impacts in order to approve the project. Each of the findings is supported by additional factual material. Shephard stated, the demand for asphalt is changing to nighttime operations and if Munn and Perkins can't competitively bid or these jobs the cost by other suppliers will be passed on to the County. Munn and Perkins are situated in a good location as compared to other sites in the FEIR and longer hauls will result in higher emissions thereby reducing air quality. There are also a substantial amount of jobs that are located at this facility and if Munn and Perkins are not able to compete for paving jobs then current jobs at the site may be lost. Jeff Welch (928 12"Street, Modesto) stated the main purpose of this application is to adapt to the changing needs of the industry in which they serve as certain jobs trending in this area are scheduled for nighttime paving jobs. Basic Resources employs 166 individuals and they live in San Joaquin County and would like to continue to employ these people while the George Reed division employs 82 people. Commissioner Morri questioned the number of people employed at the site and Mr.Welch responded that 166 people are employed at the various George Reed site thought San Joaquin County. Commissioner Morri, asked, "Does George Reed ship other materials to other sites?" Kenny Benson (2162 Sanctuary Way, Manteca) Foreman at the Munn and Perkins site responded to Commissioner Morri's question, regarding materials and where does it come from, he responded, "raw material can come as far as Waterford and Table Mountain" Commissioner Mond questioned, "How many trucks a day come into the site?" Mr. Benson responded, "120 trucks come in day from site between 7:OOam—5:OOpm." Commissioner Morri is concerned over the amount of truck trips that could potentially occur at night also including the day time activities. Also he is concerned over the amount of days requested to operate at night which could exceed 125 days. Shephard stated only 125 nights could occur no additional nights would be permitted. John Funderburg, clarified the 125 days is the maximum and if there are unexpected delays which would not permit for nighttime work Munn and Perkins would need to contact the Community Development Department regarding any delays. Commissioner Villapudua asked, "Does this include weekends?" Shephard stated, "Very rarely are nighttime paving jobs performed on weekends." Commissioner Hamilton, asked, "How much sand is exported from the site?" PC MINUTES 2 PC' 2-2-12
