San Joaquin County Environmental Checklist Less than Significant Potentially with Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact X. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a. Result in the loss of availability of a known ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? b. Result in the loss of availability of a locally ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan,specific plan,or other land use plan? Setting According to the San Joaquin County General Plan 2010(San Joaquin County 1992),the primary extractive resources in San Joaquin are sand,gravel,and natural gas. As shown in General Plan Figure VI-4,Significant Sand and Gravel Aggregate Resource Sectors,significant resource areas are not identified at the landfill property and there are no known mineral resources or recovery sites within the area. Impact Discussion a,b. The project area is not identified as being located in an area of abundant mineral resources,nor does it include any known important mineral resources,as shown in the San Joaquin County General Plan 2010 (General Plan)(San Joaquin County 1992). Given the historic and present usage of the project site as a landfill,and because operational activities would occur within an existing disturbed area historically dedicated to refuse disposal,the site is unlikely to contain minerals in an amount of value to the region or residents of the state. Therefore,no impacts are anticipated. Further,the landfill property does not include any known important mineral resource recovery site that is delineated in the County's General Plan. There would be no impact,and no mitigation is necessary. Notice of Preparation for the June 2006 North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill 2-58 Permit Revision AS 06307.06
