IIP-92-20 <br /> ATTACHMENT TO INITIAL STUDY <br /> 3 b. Plant/Animal life <br /> A survey of the Natural Diversity Data Base indicates that this <br /> site lies just outside of Swainsons Hawk (Buteo Swainsoni, Fed: <br /> Candidate 2 ; Calif: threatened) territory no. SJ030. one medium <br /> phase adult was observed soaring near this site on May 20, 1985. <br /> No nest was found. As this site has been developed for since the <br /> mid 1970s, it is unlikely that the proposed use will have a <br /> significant impact on the Swainsons Hawk. <br /> 5 a. b. Noise <br /> This site lies approximately 520 feet east of State Route 99 . In <br /> 1985 , the 65 CNEL noise contour was located 445 feet from State <br /> Route 99 . However, the projected 65 CNEL noise contour for 2005 is <br /> 704 feet from State Route 99 . The applicant has estimated that <br /> this project will produce 20 trips per day. Even if this project <br /> were to produce 200 trips per day, the increase in noise would not <br /> be significant relative to the freeway noise. Also, this area has <br /> historically been used for agricultural truck traffic. Most of the <br /> local residences have trucks and trailers in their yards. This <br /> project is not expected to cause a significant increase in noise. <br /> 7 a. Hazards <br /> The San Joaquin Office of Emergency Services identified this <br /> project as being a handler of hazardous material. The Office also <br /> indicated that the applicant is meeting the requirements of Chapter <br /> 6. 95 of the California Health and Safety Code. <br /> Initial Study (Rev: 01/91) <br /> 9 <br />
