The proposed project is a new use and the County is obligated to disclose potentially significant environmental impacts as a result of the proposed project, such as those related to odor. In addition to the previous correspondence, the Initial Study still fails to adequately describe the environmental setting, the thresholds of significance, and the quantitative and/or qualitative impacts of the proposed project as it relates to Air Quality,specifically odor. Section Ill: Aar Quality re-states the Project Description and describes modifications to the proposed project that may reduce odors such as the storage of manure in an enclosed building, increase in frequency of being hauled off-site, and animal renderings being placed in a sealed container. These modifications suggest that odor impacts exist and may be considered a potentially significant environmental impact. However, the Initial Study fails to disclose this impact or analyze how the impact is considered"Less Than Significant". The Irt'stial Study should include the following: i. Description of the environmental setting and the purpose of the modifications to the proposed project; 2. Thresholds of Significance in which odor impacts are analyzed against;and 3. A quantitative and/or qualitative analysis of the proposed project and if necessary, Mitigation Measures to reduce potentially significant impacts to a less than significant level. M this regard,the City of Lathrop continues to request that an Air Quality Analysis he prepared by a qualified professional to analyze and properly disclose the potentially significant impacts related to odor. Once completed, the fnitial Study should be re- circulated for public review consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15473.5. The City of Lathrop formally requests to be notified of any future referrals and if the project is referred to the Planning Commission. The City of Lathrop appreciates the opportunity to comment on the referral and look forward to the San Joaquin County working cooperatively with the City of Lathrop on this project.
