V. Alternatives to the Project <br /> The affected roadways would deteriorate at increased rates,requiring more frequent maintenance <br /> and repairs. At the same time,waste related traffic on Austin Road would essentially cease when <br /> the landfill closes.Traffic volumes to Foothill Landfill would increase. <br /> Cultural Resources <br /> Potential cultural resources on the CYA parcel could still be affected;however,any on the <br /> Brocchini parcel would not be affected by the No-Project Alternative. Impacts to cultural <br /> resources is unlikely. <br /> Vegetation and Wildlife <br /> Because the CYA parcel would be altered under this scenario,the biological resources on the <br /> CYA parcel would be impacted. However,the Brocchini parcel would not be altered under the <br /> No-Project Alternative and therefore this alternative would not impact the sensitive habitats on <br /> the Brocchini parcel. <br /> Air i <br /> Air tvty <br /> Associated air quality impacts related to the increased vehicular miles traveled also would be <br /> expected. The generation of air pollutants would increase substantially because the transfer <br /> trucks would have to travel an additional 64 miles round trip. <br /> is <br /> Related noise impacts related to the increased vehicular miles traveled would be expected. <br /> Sensitive receptors along the haul routes would be affected. <br /> Energy <br /> Energy impacts associated with the increased vehicular miles traveled would be expected to be <br /> greater than the energy consumed with the project. <br /> Geology. Soils.and Seismicity <br /> The No-Project Alternative would not involve any additional construction at the site other than <br /> what is permitted. Without additional construction,no additional impacts to slope stability or <br /> V.5 <br />
