i <br /> There are three residences within 2000 feet and 65 within a one-mile <br /> radius of the proposed project. From a nuisance perspective, the <br /> adjacent residences would be subjected to the forecasted truck traffic, <br /> as well as increased noise, potential air pollutants, and fugitive dust ` <br /> from plant operations. Depending on the degree of visual and noise <br /> buffering provided, the project could be made compatible with the farming <br /> activities flanking it on two sides. The type and design of the facility <br /> indicate that it would not have a significant adverse land use <br /> compatibility impact on the rural qualities of the setting. <br /> Mitigation Measure. To reduce the potential for land use conflicts <br /> with existing agriculture, the processing site should be visually <br /> screened and the access to the site clearly indicated. Coupling they <br /> existing site planning with careful compliance with required setbacks, <br /> landscape requirements and other stipulations of the customary <br /> development process would be sufficient to maintain land use com- <br /> patibility. Mitigation measures in other sections of Chapter 3 (i .e. <br /> noise, air quality, etc.) should be implemented to reduce secondary land <br /> use impacts. <br /> Impact 3 - General Plan and Zoning Consistency <br /> The project's regulatory consistency depends on its fulfillment of! <br /> a resource recovery use, since resource recovery uses are permitted under <br /> the County's GA-40 zoning designation. The State Solid Waste Management <br /> Board qualifies resource recovery as "the reclamation or salvaging of) <br /> wastes for reuse, conversion to energy or recycling," (California <br /> Administrative Code, Title 14, Chapter 2, Section 17121) . The U.S. <br /> Environmental Protection Agency defines a resource recovery facility as <br /> any that processes solid waste "for the purpose of extracting, <br /> converting, and recovery of solid wastes, including disposal of nonrecov- <br /> erable waste residues," (Resource Conservation and Conservation Act of <br /> 1976: PL 94-580, Section 1004) . <br /> San Joaquin County refines the Federal and State definitions. They <br /> County's Planning Code, Section 9-4103 (g) describes resource recovery! <br /> as: <br /> 3-9 <br /> 104-3.R3 4/10/89 <br />
