<br />Pleasanton Gateway Environmental Checklist <br /> <br />Standards of Significance <br /> <br />For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if the proposed project <br />would: <br /> <br />· Result in the depletion of a mineral resource. <br /> <br />Issues <br /> <br />Potentially <br />Significant <br />Impact <br /> <br />I.css Than <br />Significant <br />With Mitigation <br />Incorporated <br /> <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />Impact <br /> <br />No <br />Impact <br /> <br />Mineral Resources <br />Would the project: <br /> <br />a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral <br />resource that would be of value to the region and the <br />residents of the state? <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />b) Rcsult in the loss of availability of a locally important <br />mincral resource recovery site delineated on a local <br />general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />[RJ <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />a-b) The proposed project site is not included or delineated as a Mineral Resource Zone. Mining has <br />not occurred on the project site, and implementation of the project would not affect the availabil- <br />ity of any mineral resource. Therefore, this would be categorized as no-impact. <br /> <br />11. NOISE <br /> <br />Environmental Setting <br /> <br />External noise sources that could affect the site include over flights to/from the Livermore Airport, traf- <br />fic noisc from Stanlcy Boulevard and adjacent strcets, and thc operations of the Union Pacific Railroad <br />including the Alameda County Express commuter train. <br /> <br />Noise emanating from thc site are expected to fall within the acceptablc levels identified in thc noise or- <br />dinance, <br /> <br />Standards of Significance <br /> <br />For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if the proposed project <br />would: <br /> <br />· Result in exterior noise levels above the acceptable level of 70 dBA; <br />· Result in interior noise levels exceeding 45 dBA; <br />· Result in construction noise levels that do no meet the City of Pleasanton Noise Ordinance. <br /> <br />Pleasanton Gateway Initial Study <br /> <br />Page 28 of 37 <br /> <br />November 8, 2006 <br />
