Visual Impact Assessment Griffith Energy Storage Project <br /> north,west,and south.The exact height and locations of the walls will be determined upon final <br /> equipment selection. <br /> 3.1.3.3 Lighting <br /> Low-elevation,controlled security lighting would be installed at the access gate and the entrance to <br /> the energy storage structures.The lighting would only switch on when personnel enter the area <br /> (through either motion-sensor or manual activation [switch]).All safety and emergency services signs <br /> would be lit when the lights are on.The lighting would be shielded so the light is directed downward. <br /> Lighting would be only in areas where it is required for safety,security,or operations.All lighting <br /> would be directed on site and would include shielding as necessary to minimize illumination of the <br /> night sky or spillover onto adjacent properties. <br /> 3.1.3.4 Stormwater Facilities <br /> The site drainage is designed to follow the natural drainage pattern of the site.The Project would <br /> include swales and armored outlets to direct stormwater,as shown in the preliminary grading and site <br /> plan provided as Figure 2,and in accordance with San Joaquin County and State of California <br /> standards. Site preparation and construction activities would be performed in accordance with a <br /> Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan,or similar plan that incorporates stormwater best <br /> management practices to reduce the adverse effects of erosion and sedimentation. Such practices <br /> would include,for example,the use of water trucks to manage dust;silt fencing,straw wattles, <br /> temporary catch basins,and inlet filters to control stormwater;and truck tire muck shakers,or similar <br /> devices,to prevent mud and debris from being carried onto roadways. <br /> 3.1.3.5 Landscaping <br /> The Project would not include landscaping. <br /> 3.1.4 Construction <br /> Construction is anticipated to begin as early as 2023 and last for a 12-month period. Construction <br /> would generally consist of the following activities: <br /> • Site Preparation; <br /> • Fencing;and <br /> • Electrical Work. <br /> Grading and Site Preparation <br /> The site would be prepared for construction. Rough grading may be performed where required to <br /> accommodate the support structures and access roads.Grubbing and grading would occur onsite to <br /> achieve the required surface conditions. Site preparation may include application of pre-emergent <br /> herbicides formulated to minimize impacts on wildlife.Application would be in accordance with <br /> federal,state,and San Joaquin County regulations and would be applied by a California state- <br /> licensed pesticide applicator. <br /> OTETRA TECH 8 August 2023 <br />
