INTRODUCTION <br /> George Reed, Inc. proposes to expand operating hours at the existing Munn and Perkins facility <br /> in San Joaquin County, California. The Munn & Perkins Plant is located south of East River <br /> Road, approximately 10 miles east of SR-99, as indicated in Figure 1. <br /> Existing operations at this facility are permitted between the hours of 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., <br /> with nighttime operations previously allowed on a project-by-project basis with County approval. <br /> The applicant is seeking permission from the County to operate between the hours of 9:00 p.m. <br /> and 5:00 a.m. without case-by-case authorization, but only as needed for specific nighttime <br /> projects. Specifically, the applicant is seeking permission to operate the asphalt plant, scale <br /> house, loaders, and water truck during these hours when required to fulfill nighttime project <br /> demands. <br /> George Reed records indicate that night operations have occurred on numerous previous <br /> occasions with County approval. In light of the historic nighttime operation of this facility in <br /> servicing night paving projects, the proposed applicationâ–ş would affect the means by which the <br /> applicant obtains permission for night operations, but would not represent new nighttime . <br /> operations. Nonetheless, because the County has stated that additional nighttime operations at <br /> this facility would require the approval of a `Revisions of Approved Actions" application, for the <br /> purposes of this analysis the baseline condition is considered to be no nighttime operations. It <br /> should be emphasized, however, that the Munn & Perkins application for modification to the <br /> nighttime operations approval process is not for blanket, around-the-clock operations. The <br /> extended hours of operation will be only for specific projects as needed, as has occurred in the <br /> past. <br /> Due to the presence of existing residences in the plant vicinity and along East River Road, San <br /> Joaquin County has requested an acoustical analysis be prepared to address noise impacts <br /> resulting from nighttime operations. Bollard Acoustical Consultants (BAC) was retained by the <br /> project applicant, George Reed, to prepare this noise analysis in response to the County's <br /> request. <br /> Environmental Norse Analysis <br /> Vunn &Perkins Expanded Hours of Operations- San Joaquin County <br /> Page I <br />
