<br /> air quality,transportation,visual,and water quality are likely to be increased cumulatively in the
<br /> area under the proposed projects. (Refer to the appropriate sections of this EIR for specific
<br /> discussion of the above cumulative effects issues.) Cumulative land use effects could include
<br /> attraction of larger populations of birds to the area within 10,000 feet of the Stockton
<br /> Metropolitan Airport runway. Although both existing landfills have and both proposed projects
<br /> propose to institute active bird abatement programs,the combination of two landfill expansion
<br /> projects in the same area could attract unacceptably large bird populations. This is likely to be
<br /> prevented by the project approval process(and Mitigation Measure A.3 of this 'on),which
<br /> would require FAA and Stockton Metropolitan Airport review of and recommendation for this
<br /> aspect of the proposed project. In addition,the presence of two large adjacent landfills could
<br /> represent a significant encroachment on prime County agricultural land. This would not be
<br /> likely,however,because prime County agricultural land would not be substantially diminished
<br /> by the proposed projects in relation to the County's prime agricultural land holdings.
<br /> Mitigation Measure A.6.
<br /> None warranted.
