t KLEANFEL®ER Bright People.Right Solutions. than 7,000 metric tons of CO2e per year from non-transportation sources would be considered significant. While the emissions calculated for the proposed project includes both non-transportation (i.e., units that remain at the site) and transportation sources (i.e., employee, customer, and transport vehicles), the total estimated emissions of CO2e from the proposed project are below the significance thresholds proposed by GARB. Therefore, the operations from the proposed project will have a less-than- significant impact on GHG. Level of Significance: Less than significant Mitigation Measures: None required Potentially Less Than Less Than No 18, MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Significant Significant With Significant Impact Impact Mitigation Impact Incorporation a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? lb. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited but 4 cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) c. Does the project have environmental effects that will cause J substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? NARRATIVE DISCUSSION Finding (a) is checked as "Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" on the basis of potential impacts on cultural resources as described in Section C(5). These impacts would be reduced to less than significant with proposed mitigation measures. The cumulative impacts of development within the City of Stockton, including infill projects, have been addressed in the Stockton General Plan EIR, which identified several potentially significant cumulative effects, including impacts on biological resources, cultural resources, traffic, air quality, utility and service systems and other. The proposed project would involve a small contribution to some of these identified impacts. However, with mitigation, none of these impacts would be considered cumulatively considerable, either in combination with other impacts associated with the 121339/ST011 R226 3-69 October 14, 2011 Copyright 2011 Kleinfelder
