V. Alternatives to the Project <br /> the project. Decreasing the flow increases the potential for sedimentation along the bed of the <br /> P J g Po g <br /> creek. Construction and operation of this alternative would be the same as that under the project. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS <br /> Land Uses.Plans, and Policies <br /> The Current-Footprint-with-Increased-Elevation-and-Creek-Realignment-South Alternative <br /> would have similar impacts to those generated by the project because this alternative would <br /> require use of the CYA and the Brocchini parcel. The Brocchini parcel would not be available <br /> for agricultural use. <br /> Visual and Aesthetics <br /> Views from the south would be less significant under this alternative than with the project <br /> because the horizontal expansion would not occur. The current footprint would expand vertically <br /> to a height of 150 MSL and therefore look the same as the project would from the north,looking <br /> south. The same adverse light and glare impacts would occur under this alternative since the <br /> same structures would be added to the site. <br /> Community Services and Utilities <br /> This alternative would not require any new services to the project site, nor place an additional <br /> burden on existing public services. <br /> Transl2ortation and Circulation <br /> The Current-Footprint-with-Increased-Elevation-and-Creek-Realignment-South Alternative <br /> would not significantly increase local traffic and have less effect on local traffic than the project <br /> because under this alternative the landfill would close sooner. However,the waste stream would <br /> have to be hauled to Foothill Landfill sooner than with the project,generating greater total truck <br /> miles traveled. Highway truck traffic along the routes to Foothill Landfill would increase sooner <br /> than with the project. Assuming a transfer station is used before transport to Foothill Landfill, <br /> increases in local traffic would occur in the vicinity of the transfer station instead of near Austin <br /> Road Landfill. The affected roadways would deteriorate at an increased rate,requiring more <br /> frequent maintenance and repairs while waste related traffic on Austin Road would essentially <br /> cease when the landfill closed. <br /> V.17 <br />
