V. Alternatives to the Project <br /> Cultural Resources <br /> Any potential cultural resources on either the CYA or Brocchini parcel could still be disturbed. <br /> Vegetation and Wildlife <br /> Under this alternative,the biological resources on the CYA and Brocchini parcel would be <br /> impacted, as with the project. Because the active fill area would not cover the Brocchini parcel, <br /> impacts to the Swainson's Hawk may be lessened. <br /> Airuality <br /> Traffic-related air quality impacts also would be expected to increase sooner than with the <br /> project. <br /> N i4 <br /> o e <br /> Traffic-related noise levels would also increase along the haul routes used to take the waste to <br /> Foothill Landfill when the Austin Road Landfill closes. <br /> Energy <br /> Energy consumption also would increase sooner than with the project because waste would be <br /> hauled further distances sooner than with the project. <br /> Geology. Soils,and Seismicity <br /> The Current-Footprint-with-Increased-Elevation-and-Creek-Realignment-South Alternative <br /> would expand vertically on the existing permitted landfill. Impacts to slope stability or other <br /> geologic hazards would remain,but to a lesser extent than the project. Seismic hazards would be <br /> limited to current hazards;few people would be exposed to these hazards due to the limited use <br /> of the site. <br /> Hydrology.Geohydrology.and Water Quality_ <br /> As with the project,this alternative would remove the potential for surface or ground water <br /> degradation in the project area because the creek would be realigned to the south of the existing <br /> V.1$ <br />
