Initial Study • Demolition and Grading • Pavement and Improvement Installation • Slurry and Seal • Restriping Construction equipment and vehicles to be used at the project site include 3 to 4 backhoes and a blade scraper to perform demolition and grading activities. Several water trucks will be used for dust control,and 3 to 4 heavy trucks will be used to haul away construction debris. Construction Schedule The earliest estimated beginning date of construction for the proposed project is April 2010. As previously described, the duration of construction for these improvements is estimated to be 3 to 4 months,depending on weather conditions. The hours of construction activity are expected to be limited to weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Equipment Storage,Vehicle Storage,and Staging Areas The location of areas to be used for equipment storage, vehicle storage, and staging areas will be determined by the City and the construction contractor. The northeast portion of the project site near the intersection of First Street and McHenry Avenue includes potential areas available for the temporary storage of construction equipment and materials(see Figure 1). Drainages Construction-related activities associated with the proposed project would not cross or affect any major drainages near the project site. Additionally,the City will ensure that the construction contractor implements a variety of standard best management practices to minimize erosion- related impacts during project construction. Traffic Management The proposed project can be constructed while maintaining the existing traffic movements along McHenry Avenue. However, it is anticipated that minor unavoidable traffic delays may occur during the construction period. The City will ensure that the construction contractor implements a standard traffic management plan to minimize traffic disruption and ensure adequate access is maintained to surrounding residential areas and businesses near the project site. 9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting. The proposed project is located along McHenry Avenue in the City of Escalon,California.The project site is located adjacent to low-density residential neighborhoods,a shopping center,car dealerships, several vacant lots,and a hardware store.An orchard, industrial land uses,and the Union Pacific Railroad are located to the west of McHenry Avenue across the street from the project site. 10. Other public agencies whose approval is required. The proposed project would disturb an area over one acre. Therefore, an NPDES Permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board and preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)will be required.
