PUD-65 Environmental Checklist <br />Less Than <br />Potentially Significant Less Than <br />Significant With Mitigation Significant No <br />Issues Impact Incorporated Impact Impact <br />Mineral Resources <br />yT~ould the project: <br />a) Result in the loss of availability of a known ~ ~ ~ ~X <br />mineral resource that would be of value to the <br />region and the residents of the state? <br />b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally- ~ ~ ~ ~X <br />important mineral resource recovery site <br />delineated on a local general plan, specific plan <br />or other land use plan? <br />Discussion <br />a,b) The proposed project site is not included or delineated as a Mineral Resource Zone. <br />Mining has not occurred on the project site, and implementation of the project would not <br />affect the availability of any mineral resource. Therefore, this would be categorized as <br />no-impact. <br />11. NOISE <br />Environmental Setting <br />External noise sources that could affect the site include traffic noise from Interstate 680 to the <br />southwest, railroad noise to the west, adjacent streets (Sunol Boulevard and Sycamore Road), <br />and adjacent land uses including MBM Customized Foodservice Distribution to the northwest. <br />In 2003, Sunol Boulevard was resurfaced with open-graded asphalt along the project's frontage <br />as part of the Applied Biosystems' project. This reduced noise levels for properties located near <br />Sunol Boulevard. <br />Standards of Significance <br />For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if the proposed <br />project would: <br />Result in interior noise levels generally exceeding 45 dBA Leq; <br />Result in construction noise levels that do no meet the City of Pleasanton Noise <br />Ordinance. <br />24 <br />
