HARE City Treasurer Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Developmen May 23, 1990 (CC Meeting of 6 -6 -90) F4A SUBJECT: NOTICE OF PREPARATION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR COUNTY OF VENTURA CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 4571 (QUALITY ROCK, INC.) Background The Planning Division of Ventura County has determined that the above referenced project may have a significant effect on the environment and that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) should be prepared to address five issues: air quality, transportation and circulation, water resources, biological resources, and noise and vibrations. A copy of the County's Notice of Preparation is attached. Comments must be submitted to the County by June 8, 1990. Discussion Staff concurs that the proposed mining operation could result in significant transportation and circulation, air quality, water resources, biological resources, and noise and vibration impacts. Cumulative impacts are a primary concern, particularly in regard to traffic, noise, and air quality impacts. We will recommend that the traffic assessment include a level of service analysis at the following intersections: Broadway and Fruitvale; Broadway and Grimes Canyon Road; Broadway and Highway 23 (Walnut Canyon Road); Highway 23 (Moorpark Avenue) and High Street; Highway 23 (Moorpark Avenue) and Highway 118 (Los Angeles Avenue); Highway 118 (Los Angeles Avenue) and Spring Road; High Street, Spring Road, and Los Angeles Avenue; and Highway 118 (Los Angeles Avenue) at College View Avenue. We will also recommend that alternative access routes be analyzed which will ensure that truck traffic through the center of Moorpark is minimized or eliminated (for example, Grimes Canyon to Los Angeles Avenue). 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529 -6864 For your information, the proposed project is a new mining operation. Quality Rock Inc. currently operates a mining operation on land located to the south of the proposed project site. That land is actually owned by Jim Sandoval (owner of Blue Star), and was leased by Quality Rock Inc. Staff does not know the exact expiration date of the conditional use permit for that southerly located property; however, it is our understanding that it does not expire for a few more years. Staff asked the staff planner at the County, John Bencomo, if Mr. Sandoval could take over operation of Quality Rock's existing sand and gravel operation without a change to the existing conditonal use permit. Mr. Bencomo identified that it was his understanding that this would be possible if there were no changes made to the operation or to the project site. Therefore, if the Quality Rock Inc. mining operation is approved for the northerly site, we may end up with mining operations on both sites (i.e., Mr. Sandoval could take over the mining operation on the southerly site). Due to the time limit for responses, staff is requesting that the Council discuss its concerns regarding the Quality Rock Inc. project at your June 6 meeting. A comment letter incorporating the Council's concerns will then be sent to the County on June 7. Recommendation Direct staff to send a letter to the County Planning Division which includes the City Council's concerns related to the proposed mining operation, as identified at the Council's meeting on June 6, 1990. Attachment: Notice of Preparation PJR /DST RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AGENCY Planning Divisior county of vrntura Keith A Turner Directo May 9, 1990 TO ALL CONCERNED PARTIES: Subject: Notice of Preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for Conditiona Use Permit No. 4571 (Quality Rock, Inc.) The Planning Division of Ventura County has determined that the above referenced project may have a significant effect on the environment and that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) should be prepared to address five issues: air quality; transportation and circulation; water resources; biological resources; and noise and vibrations. A brief project description and location map are attached along with a copy of the Initial Study. - -" - The purpose of this notice is to call your attention to this project and to request that your organization assist the Planning Division in identifying issues that should be addressed in the EIR.

DISCUSSION OF RESPONSES TO CHECKLIST PLANNING DIVISION 1. Land Use The proposed application for a mining operation is permitted under the current land use designation of Open Space and zoning of "O -5 -160 Ac /MRP ", respectively, with a Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit. This zoning designation is- consistent with the planned land use for this area. Therefore, the proposed mining operation will not alter the County's planned land use of the area. 2. Growth Inducement I The proposed mining operation at this location will not result in the removal of any impediments to growth in this area. Although materials mined at this site provide resources necessary for construction, this function is a development serving industry and does not, in and of itself, induce growth. Therefore, impacts to growth inducement are expected to be indirect and at a less than _ _ significant level. + 3. Housin The proposed mining operation will provide full -time positions for approximately 5 -10 employees, thus individually affecting existing housing stock and demand for additional housing in that area. It is anticipated t hat the existing labor pool of employees will be transferred from the adjoining mining operation (CUP- 4158), and that the labor pool of yet another existing and larger mining operation to the east, would absorb the manning requirements for the remaining term of CUP -4158. Therefore, the impact is not considered significant on an individual basis. 4. General Plan Consistency The proposed project is consistent with all General Plan policies, including those policies within the Mineral Resource Section 1.4.2, except for the following General Plan policies that require further environmental documentation to support a consistency determination: Water Resources 1.3.2, Biological Resources 1.5.2, Noise Impacts 2.16.2, and Transportation /Circulation 4.2.2. �. 5. Mineral and Oil Resources a. The proposed mining operation at this site may cumulatively have an impact on mineral resource supply; however, this potential impact is not considered significant due to the specific type and amount of resource to be excavated. b. This project facilitates access to, and the extraction of, mineral resources and, therefore, does not hamper or preclude future mineral resource extraction. 6. Solid Waste Facilities q The project is not expected to generate significant amounts of solid !P waste and, therefore, will not have an effect on solid waste facilities. { D104 /1 system is operating properly. Continued maintenance will prevent the creation of any health hazards from overflowing sewage. 13. water Supply The Environmental Health Division comments that the project will be supplied with adequate quantity and quality of domestic water from an onsite water well. 14. Risk of Upset The Environmental Health Division comments that the project will produce hazardous wastes from the equipment maintenance activities. Improper handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials may result in the accidental release of these materials, and would result in the creation of significant health impacts. Compliance with the existing State and local regulations will reduce this impact to a level considered less than significant. 15. Human Health No environmental health hazard except those previously mentioned in #12 and #14 will be created. FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT 16. a. & b.: The Fire Prevention Bureau comments that this project is located within an acceptable distance of a fire station, which includes adequate personnel available. c.: The Fire Prevention Bureau comments that the project is not located in a high hazard area and will comply with the Building and Safety requirements for structures and the Ventura County Fire Department Weed Abatement Program that will mitigate any potential impacts. d. & e.: The Fire Prevention Bureau comments that there will be no impact to the road system or water supply, and no structures are proposed. The proposed project will comply with private road guidelines, emergency vehicle access requirements and onsite water supplies as conditioned. f.: The Fire Prevention Bureau comments that the project is not of a hazardous nature. SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT 17. a. -c.: The Sheriff's Department comments that due to the size and /or nature of this project, there will be no significant impact on the functions of the Ventura County Sheriff's Department. GENERAL SERVICES AGENCY 18. This project is not anticipated to create any new or additional impacts on recreational needs. 19. Because of its nature and its location, no harbors will be affected, cumulatively or individually, by this project. AIRPORTS DEPARTMENT 20. a. & b.: This project is not located within, or near, any existing flight paths or airports. AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT 21. a. -c.: This project will not result in the loss of prime agricultural land. D104 /K RESPONSIBLE AGENCY ISSUES - PLANNING DIVISION 22. Visual Effects The proposed mining project is in an isolated location which is not exposed to public viewing areas within the nearby community of Moorpark nor along the nearby public roadways. 23. Light and Glare Based on the location and nature of the site, it is not anticipated that this project will result in any creation of additional light and glare of any significant levels upon surrounding properties. 24. Noise and Vibrations The noise impacts associated with this project would emanate from the operation at the project site and from truck traffic on the access roads; impacting the sensitive land uses of the surrounding properties (i.e., ranches and single family residences) provide a context whereby these impacts may be considered significant. 25. Public Facilities and Utilities a. -f.: The project is not expected to create additional demand for public facilities or utilities. 26. Energy a. & b.: The project is not expected to result in new demands on fuel or energy sources, nor use them in a wasteful manner. 27. Cultural /Ethnic Resources . a. -f.: A Phase One Archaeological Survey was conducted for the site by John Romani and Gwen Romani, in December 1989. This report indicated that no cultural resources of either prehistoric or historical origin were found within the property boundaries. The negative results suggest that no significant cultural resources are, or were, present in the area investigated. No direct or indirect impacts are predicted as a result of the proposed project, and the only recommendation is that, should any cultural materials be encountered during any process of plant construction or quarrying activities, a qualified professional archaeologist should be consulted promptly to evaluate such discovery and develop a program for the mitigation of impacts. 28. Biological Resources a. -i.: A Biological Resources Impact Report (Jones, 1989) was prepared for the project site. This report indicated that no rare or endangered animals are known to occur on the proposed site, nor are any expected to occur (CNDDB, 1989). Generally the vegetation is non- native grassland. However, native grasses could occur on site. Aerial photographs of the area indicate that oak and riparian communities occur on the site. The project would substantially impact these communities. The loss of wetlands associated with the riparian community would also be a significant impact. Rare or endemic plant species may occur or the property, including Astragalus brauntonii, Duile a blockmaniae ssp. blockmaniae, and Pentacheata lyonii unlikely). The proposed project could increase the amount of erosion at the project site and result in deleterious downstream sedimentation that may affect important wetland vegetation. This is also a potentially significant effect of the proposed project. ` JB:km /C322 D104/5 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT 7. Air a.

Does the project have the potential to significantly degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self - sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? X 2. Does the project have the potential to achieve short -term, to the dis- advantage of long -term, environmental goals? (A short -term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long -term impacts will endure well into the future). X 3. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited,'but cumulatively considerable? (Several projects may have relatively small individual impacts on two or more resources, but the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) X 4. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? X E. DETERMINATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT On the basis of this initial evaluation: [ ] I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION should be prepared. [ ] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measure(s) described in Section C of the Initial Study will be applied to the project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION should be prepared. [X] I find the proposed project, individually and /or cumulatively, MAY have a significant effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.* Si Lure of Person Responsible Date fo Administering the Project JB:j /D105 *EIR Issues of Focus: Transportation and circulation; Water resources; Biological resources; Noise and vibrations ; Air Quality.
