Finding: Specific economic, social, and environmental con- <br /> siderations make infeasible the continued use of the <br /> existing route ("no project" alternative). <br /> Facts: See below for beneficial impacts. Also note that <br /> trucks on these routes would be one-sixth to one-fourth <br /> the number now using the Stanley-First-Sunol route and <br /> would have far less damaging effects. <br /> <br /> 7. Significant Effect: Increase in particulates along the <br /> North Livermore Avenue route. <br /> <br /> Finding: Mitigation (street sweeping) is within the <br /> jurisdiction of another public agency (City of <br /> Livermore). <br /> Facts: Street sweeping reduces the amounts of dust particles <br /> present which can be entrained by large trucks and other <br /> vehicles, and street sweeping is a municipal function <br /> within each City's limits. <br /> <br /> Finding: Alternate routes (El Charro Road or Highway 84 <br /> freeway) are the responsibility of other public agencies. <br /> See #3 above. <br /> Facts: Alternate routes would eliminate the need for trucks <br /> to use the North Livermore Avenue route. <br /> <br /> Finding: Specific economic, social, and environmental <br /> considerations make infeasible the continued use of the <br /> existing route ("no project" alternative). <br /> Facts: See below for the beneficial impacts. Also note that <br /> this route would have one-sixth to one-quarter of the <br /> existing particulates as the Stanley-First-Sunol route. <br /> <br />8. Significant Effect: Introduction of intrusive noise into <br /> residential areas. <br /> <br /> Finding: Short-term mitigation measures (walls, sound- <br /> proofing, etc.) are Within the jurisdiction of another <br /> public agency (City of Livermore) to implement. <br /> Facts: Intrusive noise as well as marginally increased <br /> ambient levels can be lessened by erecting walls <br /> (about 10 dBA reduction) or soundproofing residences <br /> (reduction varies - about 10-20 dBA feasible). <br /> <br /> Finding: Alternate routes (El Charro Road or Highway 84 <br /> freeway) are the responsibility of other public agencies. <br /> See #3 above. <br /> Facts: Alternate routes would eliminate the need for <br /> trucks to use the North Livermore Avenue route, elimi- <br /> nating any truck noise. <br /> <br /> -4- <br /> <br /> <br />
