AUGUSTIN BERNAL MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL PROJECT DRAFT INITIAL STUDY <br /> 12956 <br />DUDEK 70 April 2022 <br />3.12 Mineral Resources <br /> <br />Potentially <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />Impact With <br />Mitigation <br />Incorporated <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />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 /> <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 /> <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 adjacent to 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.
