AUGUSTIN BERNAL MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL PROJECT DRAFT INITIAL STUDY <br /> 3.12 Mineral Resources <br /> Less Than <br /> Significant <br /> Potentially Impact With Less Than <br /> Significant Mitigation Significant <br /> Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact <br /> XII. MINERAL RESOURCES-Would the project: <br /> a) Result in the loss of availability of a <br /> known mineral resource that would be ❑ ❑ ❑ <br /> of value to the region and the residents <br /> of the state? <br /> b) Result in the loss of availability of a <br /> locally-important mineral resource <br /> recovery site delineated on a local ❑ ❑ ❑ <br /> general plan,specific plan,or other land <br /> use plan? <br /> Setting <br /> The site does not support any mining activities and is not zoned specifically for mineral extraction or <br /> preservation and is not known to provide access to important mineral resources. <br /> Impact Discussion <br /> a) Would the project result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of <br /> value to the region and the residents of the state? <br /> See Section 3.12(b), below. <br /> b) Would the project result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery <br /> site delineated on a local general plan,specific plan,or other land use plan? <br /> The project would construct a new mountain bike trail to replace several existing unofficial user- <br /> created trails.The City's General Plan states that the California Division of Mines and Geology has <br /> designated sand and gravel land in and adjacentto the Pleasanton Planning Area as an Aggregate <br /> Resource Area of Regional Significance. Accordingly, the General Plan Map "designates about <br /> 1,750 acres of regionally significant sand and gravel deposits in the eastern Planning Area for Sand <br /> and Gravel Harvesting" (City of Pleasanton 2005). The General Plan does not identify any known <br /> mineral resources or deposits within or near the project site. As there are no known mineral <br /> resources underlying the project site, implementation of the project would not result in a loss of <br /> availability of any known mineral resource. The proposed project would result in no loss of <br /> availability of any locally important mineral resources delineated on a local general plan or other <br /> land use plan;the project would have no impact. <br /> 12956 <br /> DUDEK 70 April 2022 <br />
