Lovelace Project Environn*l Issues <br />Page 2 <br />7. Air Ouality <br />Theroject need to be evaluated in terms of compliance with San Joaquin Valley <br />Unified Air Pollution Control District requirements. Areas of concern are vehicle <br />emissions, particulate matter, and odors. Refuse gas releases may also require <br />evaluation. <br />8. Noise <br />Noise concerns include operational noise from the transfer station and its effects <br />on adjacent residential uses. Employee /customer exposure to noise may also be <br />a problem. Vehicle noise (especially trucks) needs to evaluated for travel routes <br />and on site conditions. Noise contours should be developed to predict project <br />noise levels, both current and future. <br />9. Biotics <br />A limited biotics survey should be conducted to characterize the plant and <br />animal life in the project vicinity, and to insure that no special status species are <br />present. <br />10. Cultural Resources <br />A limited cultural resource survey should be conducted to determine the actual <br />or potential presence of cultural resources. <br />11. Light and Glare <br />The proJject should be evaluated for exterior lighting, including glare on <br />surrounding property. <br />12. VisualOuality <br />The project should be evaluated for its visual impact on adjacent property as well <br />as those driving past the facility. <br />13. Hazardous Materials <br />Some evaluation should be given to assessing release of hazardous substances or <br />materials. <br />14. Proiect Alternatives <br />Other potential project sites should be identified and evaluated for their <br />respective advantages and disadvantages over the proposed project site. <br />15. Mitigation Measures <br />For potential significant environmental impacts identified in the 14 categories <br />above, specific mitigation measure should be developed. <br />CAWS5\920411 <br />
