operators will still use the conveyor system for transporting materials, and because the quarry will continue to produce the same rate of materials per day. In addition, the traffic will continue to use the access point onto Tracy Boulevard, as approved with QX-99-1, and will not use the Tracy Boulevard access point from the new site. The Reclamation Plan states that excavation will not commence until mining activities at QX- 99-1 are completed, which is estimated to be completed in 2005-2006. Air Pollution: The Air Pollution Control District states that the project will most likely result in no net increase in emissions and, therefore, represents a less than significant impact on the ambient air quality. Because the quarry will not begin excavation of the project site until reclamation has begun on the previous site (QX- 99-1), the APCD considers the expansion request as another phase of an existing quarry. The amount of materials processed and the amount of land excavated at one time are not increasing. Therefore, the APCD does not consider the project an expansion- Lights: xpansion.Li hts: Development Title Section 9-1025.6(b) states that no use shall cause glare above 1.0 footcandles on an adjacent lot developed residentially, zoned for residential use, or shown as residential on the General Plan Map, or cause glare on a street or ally. Water Table: The applicant is not proposing to drill an additional well and will continue to use water provided to the existing processing facility site. In addition, the applicant does not intend to excavate below the water table, which is anticipated to be at least 125 feet below the surface grade. The Reclamation Plan states that excavation depths will vary up to 100 vertical feet below the existing ground elevations, with an average final reclamation depth of 80 feet. California Aqueduct The Department of Water Resources is the reviewing agency for projects along the California Aqueduct, and a referral was sent to the DWR. A Senior Land Agent through the Right of Way and Encroachment division of DWR confirmed that Granite Construction has an approved encroachment permit(No. 1084) to convey materials across the California Aqueduct Noise: The quarry site is subject to Development Title Section 9-1025.9 in regard to Performance Standards, which includes noise. The quarry is also restricted to the hours of operation between 5:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1415.3(0. All material processing will be conducted off-site at the existing QX-89-1 facility. Property Value: The project parcel and surrounding parcels are designated MRZ-2 by the State Mining and Geology Board, California Department of Conservation. MRZ-2 designations indicate that there are areas where adequate information indicates that significant mineral deposits are present or where it is judged that a high likelihood for their presence exists (General Plan Volume III, B. Extractive Resources, 2. Sand and Gravel, pp. IV.13-5 & B-6). This area of San Joaquin County is intended to have resource extraction. The Initial Study prepared for the project did not identify any significant impacts that could not be mitigated to less than significant, including the concerns of the neighbors.
