<br />Soil Investigations for Data Collection in the Delta <br />Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 28 <br />MM AGR-1: <br />Any proposed soil investigation activities that occur on agricultural lands will <br />be grouted in accordance with ASTM standards to five feet below the surface. <br />The final five feet of topsoil will be replaced to return the Impact Area to as <br />close to pre-activity conditions as possible. <br />b) Would the project conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a <br />Williamson Act contract? <br /> <br />No Impact. While some of the Study Area is zoned for Williamson Act contracts, the <br />Proposed Project would not affect existing zoning (DOC 2019b) for agricultural use <br />or a W illiamson Act contract. While there would be no impact to existing zoning for <br />agricultural use or a Williamson Act, implementation of Mitigation Measure MM <br />AGR-1 would further avoid, minimize and/or reduce the potential for impacts. <br />c) Would the project conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest <br />land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as <br />defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned <br />Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))? <br /> <br />No Impact. The land within the Study Area has a few sites that are mapped as forest <br />land; however, it would not conflict with Public Resources Code section 12220 (g). <br />The Study Area does not include land that is zoned for timberland as defined by <br />PRC section 4526 or timberland zoned Timberland Production as defined by <br />Government Code section 51104 (g). No rezoning would take place as part of <br />Proposed Project activities. While there would be no impact to existing zoning for <br />forest land, implementation of Mitigation Measure MM AGR-1 would further avoid, <br />minimize and/or reduce the potential for impacts. <br />d) Would the project result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land <br />to non-forest use? <br /> <br />No Impact. Impacts to forest land, including loss or conversion of forest land to non- <br />forest uses, would not occur because no trees would be cut down on forest land and <br />forest land will not be converted. While there would be no impact to loss of forest <br />land, implementation of Mitigation Measure MM AGR-1 would further avoid, <br />minimize and/or reduce the potential for impacts. <br />e) Would the project involve other changes in the existing environment, which, <br />due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non- <br />agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? <br />No Impact. Impacts to Farmland, including loss or conversion to non-agricultural <br />use, or loss or conversion of forest land to non-forest uses, would not occur because <br />farmland and forest land is not being converted. While there would be no impact to
