Changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and have been, or can and should be, adopted by that other agency. Facts in Support of Finding The City of Pleasanton has adopted the following measures which will reduce potential air quality impacts: Mitigation Measure 4.6-4: Operational Emissions From On-Site RMC Lonestar Gravel HarveSting Activities. Site grading, excavation and construction activities associated with already permitted aggregate mining on the project site could result in significant air quality impacts for the duration of the mining activity. Because this activity is already a permitted use, mitigation beyond that required by the 1981 Livermore-Amador Valley Quarry Reclamation Specific Plan would not be feasible to impose as part of this project. The Specific Plan proposes to replace between 20 and 30 acres of permitted aggregate mining area with homes and vineyards. Additional mitigation of the above impact is the responsibility and jurisdiction of Alameda County, consistent with the mining and reclamation permit issued to RMC Lonestar in 1981 and the Livermore Amador Valley Quarry Reclamation Specific Plan. Mitigation to reduce adverse impacts is available in the Livermore Amador Valley Quarry Reclamation Specific Plan to Alameda County, and can and should be adopted by the County. Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make infeasible the alternatives identified in the environmental impact report that would definitively reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level. TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION ISection 4.71 SIGNIFICANT EFFECT Impact 4.7-5: Bernal Avenue Arroyo del Valle Brid~e. Traffic generated from buildout of the General Plan may require a second bridge to be constructed on Bernal Avenue to cross the Arroyo del Valle. Development of the proposed project would contribute to this need. This would be considered a potentially significant impact. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment. Facts in Support of FindinE The City of Pleasanton has adopted the following measures which will reduce potential transportation and circulation impacts to a less-than-significant level: Mitigation Measure 4.7-5: Bernal Avenue Arroyo del Valle Bridge. Project applicants shall contribute the pro-rata Plan Area cost-share funding (through participation in the Transportation Impact Fee) to construct a second bridge for Bernal Avenue to cross Arroyo del Valle, if and Vineyard Avenue Corridor Spedtic Plan Draft EIR -23- Findings
