Jeffery Reed (Basic Resources-420 Buena Vista, Modesto), responded and said, "Sand is produced at this site and is used for stucco of homes. Most of the sand material is used on site in the hot mix however, some does leave the site but none of the sand would be leaving at night under the current request." Commissioner Johnson asked, Will nighttime operations increase the amount of tons produced for this site daily". Mr. Reed, responded, "No the current request will not increase the average daily tonnage for the site. If a nighttime job is to occur the site will shift some on the day time operations to night as not to increase the average daily amounts.Also, the Air Board has set a daily tonnage limit and they cannot exceed this in a twenty-four(24) hour period Commissioner Morn, asked, "Do you perform any work in Tracy?" Mr. Reed, responded, "No,the primary market is in Northern San Joaquin County." Commissioner Johnson, asked, "One of the mitigation measures is to have additional lighting, will this be 365 days a year orjust nighttime operations." Mr. Reed, responded, "No, because of economics and cost just at nighttime". Commissioner Johnson, asked, "One of the neighbors concerns is noise, are the proposed mitigation measures more stringent than what has been done in the past-" Mr. Reed, responded, "No, however,the truck boss which monitors truck traffic and the use of Jake brakes was present at the last permitted nighttime operations." B.J. Kelley(5501 Claraville, Oakdale) Foreman at the site spoke on behalf of the men and eleven families that work at the site.The new rubberized asphalt production at this site helps to keep everyone employed at the site. The people who work at Munn and Perkins site consider each other as a family member and this not just a business. OPPONENTS: Jeff Bond (26546 East River Road, Escalon) stated, "There should be a balance between both the operation and community and they are disrupting the community. The operation if approved will be allowed one out of three nights and the smell and noise is intolerable. The site needs to be regulated and has outgrown its location. The impact should not be borne on the backs of the residents,the noise from the operation is sometimes unbearable. It affects my daily work performance if I'm not able to sleep." Mr. Bond stated, "Traffic is a major concern because between Santa Fe and Mc Henry there is not a passing lane, however, when you drive along his property there is a small passing area. Once the trucks leave the site they travel at speeds in excess of 55 miles per hour because they are independent contractors wanting to make a quick buck. The smell is atrocious and comes stifling into his home and Munn and Perkins is detrimental to the entire community along with the noise from this site and he is unable to function the next day and this affects his day job." Commissioner Villapudua asked Mr. Bond how long has he lived at his current location. Mr. Bond responded, "five years". PC MINUTES 3 PC: 2-2-12
