NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION

AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
Notice is hereby given that the City of Livingston has prepared an Initial Study (IS) of environmental effects and intends to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Livingston Truck Stop Complex. The City of Livingston is the Lead Agency for this project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The project proposes to develop approximately 18.9 acres of currently vacant property as a travel center that would serve trucks and passenger vehicles, primarily those traveling on nearby State Route (SR) 99. Nine fuel dispensers serving trucks and ten fuel dispensers serving passenger vehicles would be installed, each dispenser with two pumps. Subsequent development would add three quick-serve restaurants with associated parking. A storm drainage retention basin would be constructed at the eastern end of the project site.

The IS/MND analyzes the potential environmental effects of the project in the environmental issue areas specified in CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. On the basis of this analysis, the IS/MND finds that the project will not involve any significant environmental effects, provided that the mitigation measures described in the IS/MND are implemented. The project proponent has agreed to the mitigation measures, and these measures will be included in a Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Plan to be adopted by the City of Livingston in conjunction with the IS/MND and approval of the project. There are no sites identified under Section 65962.5 of the Government Code located on or near the project site.

Copies of the IS/MND are available for public review at the City of Livingston Planning Department at the address shown above and at the City's website: https://www.cityoflivingston.org. The City will accept public and agency comments on the IS/MND during a 20-day review period that will begin on December 30, 2020 and end on January 19, 2021. Comments may be submitted by mail or e-mail to the City at the address shown above or to [email protected] and [email protected] .

In addition, notice is hereby given that the Livingston Planning Commission will consider the IS/MND and the Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Plan at a public meeting scheduled for February 9, 2021, at 7:00 pm in the City Council Chambers, 1416 "C" Street, Livingston, California.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Brief
This document is an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Livingston Truck Stop Complex Project (project) in Livingston, California. The 18.9-acre project site is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Campbell Boulevard and Hammatt Avenue adjacent to the SR 99 freeway in northeastern Livingston (Figures 1-1 to 1-5). This IS/MND has been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). For the purposes of CEQA, the City of Livingston (City) is the Lead Agency for the project.

The project proposes to develop a range of truck and passenger car travel-oriented commercial uses on the site in two phases. Phase 1 would include a central building with a convenience store and two quick-serve restaurants, along with restrooms and showers for travelers and fueling stations for passenger vehicles. A truck service area to the east would consist of a diesel fuel dispensing area, a CAT scale, and a building that would accommodate both a tire center and a future quick-serve restaurant. Proposed site development would include parking for passenger vehicles and trucks, along with recreational vehicle parking and a dump station. Phase 2 of the project proposes the development of two new quick-serve restaurants, with associated circulation and parking in the western portion of the site. A third quick-serve restaurant in the eastern portion of the site would be located in a building constructed during Phase 1.

The current General Plan designation for the majority of project site is Highway Commercial, and the current zoning is C-3 – Highway Service Commercial. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan designation and the zoning. The proposed land uses would require City approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the proposed fueling stations and quick-serve restaurant drive-thrus, along with Site Plan and Design Review.

1.2 Purpose of Initial Study
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that public agencies consider and document the potential environmental effects of the agency’s actions that meet CEQA’s definition of a “project.” Briefly summarized, a “project” is an action that has the potential to result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. A project includes the agency’s direct activities as well as activities that involve public agency approvals or funding. Guidelines for an agency’s implementation of CEQA are found in the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations).

Provided that a project is not exempt from CEQA, the first step in the agency’s consideration of its potential environmental effects is the preparation of an Initial Study.

The purpose of an Initial Study is to determine whether the project would involve “significant” environmental effects as defined by CEQA and to describe feasible mitigation Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 1-2 December 2020
measures that would avoid significant effects or reduce them to a level that would be less than significant. If the Initial Study does not identify significant effects, or if it identifies mitigation measures that would reduce all of the significant effects of the project to a lessthan-significant level, then the agency prepares a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration. If the project would involve significant effects that cannot be readily mitigated, then the agency must prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The agency may also decide to proceed directly with the preparation of an EIR without preparation of an Initial Study.

The proposed project is a “project” as defined by CEQA and is not exempt from CEQA consideration. The City has determined that the project involves the potential for significant environmental effects and requires preparation of this Initial Study. The Initial Study describes the proposed project and its environmental setting, it discusses the potentially significant environmental effects of the project, and it identifies feasible mitigation measures that would avoid the potentially significant environmental effects of the project or reduce them to a level that would be less than significant. The Initial Study considers the project’s potential for significant environmental effects in the following subject areas:

Aesthetics
Agricultural Resources
Air Quality
Biological Resources
Cultural Resources
Energy
Geology and Soils
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Hazards and Hazardous
Materials
Hydrology and Water Quality
Land Use and Planning
Mineral Resources
Noise
Population and Housing
Public Services
Recreation
Transportation/Traffic
Tribal Cultural Resources
Utilities and Service Systems
Wildfire
Mandatory Findings of Significance
The Initial Study concluded that the project would have significant environmental effects, but recommended mitigation measures would reduce all these effects to a level that would be less than significant. As a result, the City has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration and notified the public of the City’s intent to adopt the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. A copy of the City’s Notice of Intent is shown just inside the cover of this document. As of the distribution of the IS/MND for public review, the applicant has accepted all the recommended mitigation measures. The time available for comment on the IS/MND is shown in the Notice of Intent.

1.3 Environmental Evaluation Checklist Terminology
The project’s potential environmental effects are evaluated in the Environmental Evaluation Checklist shown in Chapter 3.0. The checklist includes a list of environmental considerations against which the project is evaluated. For each question, the City determines whether the project would involve: 1) a Potentially Significant Impact, 2) a Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 1-3 December 2020
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated, 3) a Less Than Significant Impact, or 4) No Impact.

A Potentially Significant Impact occurs when there is substantial evidence that the project could involve a substantial adverse change to the physical environment, i.e., that the environmental effect may be significant, and mitigation measures have not been defined that would reduce the impact to a less than significant level. If there are one or more Potentially Significant Impact identified in the Initial Study, an EIR is required. No Potentially Significant Impacts have been identified in this IS/MND.

An environmental effect that is Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated is a Potentially Significant Impact that can be avoided or reduced to a level that is less than significant with the application of defined mitigation measures. This IS/MND identifies several impacts that are Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated.

A Less Than Significant Impact occurs when the project would involve effects on an area of environmental concern, but the project would not involve a substantial adverse change to the physical environment, and no mitigation measures are required. This IS/MND identifies many impacts that are considered Less than Significant.

A determination of No Impact is self-explanatory. This IS/MND identifies several areas of environmental concern in which the project would have No Impact on the physical environment.

Some existing plans, ordinances, and regulatory requirements that have been established by the City and other agencies with jurisdiction, and which are routinely implemented in conjunction with new development, function as measures that mitigate environmental impacts. These are described in this IS/MND as a part of the existing regulatory setting, along with how they would reduce or avoid the project’s environmental effects. Where these regulatory requirements are not sufficient to reduce or avoid the project’s environmental effects, this IS/MND describes additional mitigation measures needed to address the project’s environmental impacts. These additional mitigation measures, which the City should incorporate as part of the project, are described in Chapter 3.0 and are listed in Table 1-1. As of the publication of the Notice of Intent for this project, these mitigation measures have been accepted by the project applicant.

1.4 Summary of Environmental Effects and Mitigation Measures The following pages contain Table 1-1, Summary of Impacts and Mitigation Measures.

Table 1-1 summarizes the results of the Environmental Checklist Form and associated narrative discussion of the project’s potential environmental effects in Chapter 3.0. The potential environmental impacts of the proposed project are summarized in the left-most column of this table. The projected level of significance of each impact without additional mitigation is indicated in the second column. If additional mitigation is required, mitigation Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 1-4 December 2020
measures proposed to avoid or minimize significant environmental effects are shown in the third column. The fourth column shows the significance of the impact after mitigation measures are applied.

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Project Location
The 18.9-acre project site is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Campbell Boulevard and Hammatt Avenue in northeastern Livingston, adjacent to SR 99 at the Hammatt Avenue interchange (see Figures 1-1 to 1-5). The project is located on three existing parcels identified as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 023-060-10, 023-070-012 and 023-070-013. The project would occupy only the portion of APN 023-060-10 located west of Campbell Avenue; the City is currently considering an administrative request for a Lot Line Adjustment (City Permit #2020-02) that will separate the project site portion of this parcel from the portion located east of Campbell Avenue.

The site is located on the USGS Cressey, California, 7.5-minute quadrangle map within Section 25, Township 6 South, Range 2 East, Mt. Diablo Base and Meridian. The approximate latitude and longitude of the project site are 37° 23’ 05” North and 120° 42' 35" West, respectively.

2.2 Project Details
The project proposes to develop a freeway commercial site of approximately 18.9 acres as a truck stop, which would provide fuel, food, and maintenance services for commercial truck drivers; fuel, food, drinks, and other products for other SR 99 travelers; and convenience commercial services for residents in the vicinity. Currently, existing freeway services along SR 99 in Livingston are limited to existing development at the Winton Parkway interchange. In addition to the proposed project, the City has approved another highway commercial development across Hammatt Avenue from the site at the southwest corner of the intersection of Campbell Boulevard and Hammatt Avenue.

Project development would consist of two phases:

Phase 1
Phase 1 of the proposed project would be centered around an approximately 13,030 square foot travel center building that would include a convenience store, two quick-serve restaurants, restrooms, showers, a trucker’s lounge, and administrative offices. A drivethru lane would be provided adjacent to one of the quick-serve restaurant spaces. Outdoor seating would be installed in the area facing the truck service area. On the opposite side of the travel center building, a fuel dispensing area, covered by a canopy approximately 9,720 square feet in area, would be installed to serve mainly passenger automobiles. There would be ten dispensing stations in the area, each with two pumps, for a total of 20 dispensing pumps. Four aboveground storage tanks for automobile fuel would be installed in the southern portion of the project site. Three tanks would hold approximately 12,000 gallons, while the remaining tank would hold 8,000 gallons.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 2-2 December 2020
A truck service area for commercial trucks would be located east of the travel center building. This area would include nine diesel fuel dispensing stations, each with two pumps, for a total of 18 dispensing pumps. A canopy approximately 4,275 square feet in area would cover the dispensing stations. Adjacent to and immediately south of the dispensing area would be a CAT scale – a totally automated, full-length platform scale for weighing trucks. Next to the CAT scale would be four aboveground storage tanks, each holding approximately 12,000 gallons of diesel fuel.

A commercial building approximately 7,200 square feet in floor area would be located east of the truck fueling area. Approximately 4,200 square feet of this building would accommodate a truck tire center with two service bays and office and storage space. The remaining 3,000 square feet would be available for development of another quick-serve restaurant in Phase 2. Other features of the Phase 1 project include a fenced dog park and a recreational vehicle dump station, located south of the travel center building.

The remainder of the Phase 1 area would include circulation aisles and parking, including drive-through aisles for the automobile and truck fueling areas. A total of 86 parking spaces would be available for passenger vehicles in the travel center area, along with four spaces for disabled persons. Ten additional spaces would be provided for recreational vehicles, along with a dump station along the southern boundary of the project site for disposal of sewage. A total of 127 parking spaces would be available for commercial trucks in the truck service area. Site access would be provided by four proposed driveways off Campbell Avenue. Three of these driveways would provide access to the truck service area, while the remaining driveway would provide access for passenger vehicles.

The project would include frontage improvements along Campbell Avenue in accordance with City standards for a four-lane minor arterial. This would include two vehicle lanes approximately 12 feet in width in each direction, for a total of four lanes. It would also include a median left-turn lane approximately 16 feet in width, and two bike lanes approximately eight feet in width, one on each side of the road. Approximately 15 feet on each side of the improved Campbell Avenue would be used for pedestrian pathways and landscaping.

The project proposes the relocation of an existing detention basin from the western portion of the project site to the southeastern corner (Figure 2-3). The relocated basin will be sized as required to replace the capacity of the existing storm water detention basin and to accommodate additional runoff generated by proposed development of the project site.

The project would install new water and wastewater lines connecting to existing City facilities. The project water system would connect to the City system in two places: an existing line beneath adjacent Hammatt Avenue and the other at an existing line beneath Dwight Way to the east. The project wastewater line would connect to an existing main beneath Dwight Avenue to the east.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 2-3 December 2020
Phase 2
Phase 2 proposes the development of two additional quick-serve restaurants, each approximately 2,800 square feet in floor area, at the western end of the project site. An additional quick-serve restaurant would be located in the tire center building in the eastern portion of the site constructed during Phase 1. Each quick-serve restaurant would have a drive-thru lane and required circulation and parking, including 40 passenger vehicle parking spaces, 6 compact automobile spaces, and 2 spaces for disabled persons. An additional driveway off Campbell Avenue would be installed to provide access to this portion of the development.

Table 2-1 summarizes the total buildout of the project site after the two phases of development.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 2-4 December 2020
The project would be landscaped in accordance with City standards. A preliminary landscaping plan for the project site is shown on Figure 2-3. Street trees would be planted along the Campbell Avenue site frontage, and an evergreen hedge with large-spreading trees would be installed along the SR 99 frontage. Other trees and shrubs would be installed throughout the development. A lawn would be installed in the dog park area. The landscape and associated irrigation system would be designed to comply with the City's Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.

2.3 Permits and Approvals
The current City General Plan designations for the project site are Highway Commercial, Service Commercial. The current zoning is C-3, Highway Service Commercial. The proposed project is consistent with the existing General Plan designations and zoning.

The project development would require approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the City Council for the fuel dispensing stations and the quick-serve restaurants with drivethru lanes. It also would require site plan approval and design review by the City Council, Should the project be approved, building and grading permits would need to be obtained from the City, but these permits would not require City Council approval.

Installation of proposed fuel dispensing pumps would require permits from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD). Aboveground storage tanks would require preparation of spill plans consistent with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. Installation of underground storage tanks would require approval from the Underground Storage Tank Program of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Other permits or approvals that may be required from other agencies include a Construction General Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB).

a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
The project site is a vacant parcel containing mostly grasses and weeds. The site is in a developing but largely vacant area near the northeastern Livingston city limits, which has a mix of urban development and vacant land. Beyond the City limits, land is used primarily for agriculture. The project site is adjacent to the SR 99 freeway and east of the Hammatt Avenue interchange.

Views toward the south and west over the relatively flat site and surrounding lands are limited by the SR 99 and Hammatt Avenue fill structures, which extend approximately 20 feet above the site grade, along with existing development across SR 99. Views to the north across Campbell Boulevard include agricultural fields and a light industrial development.

Distant views west, further north, and east are limited by existing residential and commercial development and associated tree growth.

Existing lighting in the project vicinity consists of pole lights along SR 99 at ramp intersections and in freeway merge areas. The intersection of Campbell Boulevard and Hammatt Avenue is lighted. Other lighting consists mainly of security and street lighting in nearby residential, commercial, and light industrial development.

Livingston Municipal Code Section 5-4-4 sets standards for landscaping. Landscaping shall be in scale with adjacent buildings and be of appropriate size at maturity to accomplish its intended purpose. Portions of a site not utilized for structures, parking, v
v
v
v
Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-2 December 2020
circulation, storage, or other uses, shall be landscaped. Parking lots shall incorporate landscaping for all areas not used for vehicle storage, access, or circulation.

Livingston Municipal Code Section 5-4-6 sets performance standards for land uses in commercial and industrial zones, including the C-3 zone applied to the project site. Section 5-4-6(A)(1) states that odors, glare, or heat created by or resulting directly or indirectly from any use shall not be perceptible at any point beyond the lot boundaries where it abuts residential districts.

As required by Livingston Municipal Code Section 5-6-7, an application for Site Plan and Design Review is required for new development within the C-3 zone. The purpose of this review is to permit the city to evaluate site plans and designs of new and existing structures to assure compatibility, harmony in appearance in neighborhoods, reduction of negative aesthetic impacts and orderly development of the community. The City has adopted the Design Guide for Development. The Design Guide governs the physical design of development, including site planning, architecture, use of open spaces, lot configurations, circulation, and similar issues. The City Council approves site plans and design review, with the Livingston Planning Commission making recommendations.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Scenic Vistas.

The project involves the construction of mainly truck and passenger vehicle fueling and truck service facilities, quick-serve restaurants, and related site improvements. These single-level structures have the potential to partially obstruct distant views. However, as noted, these views are already substantially obstructed by the existing freeway fills and other surrounding development. Proposed structures would be consistent in height with other commercial and residential buildings in the vicinity and would not result in a significant effect on views.

The Merced County General Plan notes that scenic vistas in the County, where available, include views of the Coast Ranges to the west, the Sierra Nevada to the east, and the corridors of the Merced and San Joaquin Rivers (Merced County 2013). The project site is not near any of the stream corridors, and distant views of the mountain ranges are limited as described above. Project impacts on scenic vistas would be less than significant. b) Scenic Resources.

There are no scenic resources on or in the immediate vicinity of the project site. The site is a vacant parcel mostly covered with grasses and weeds and surrounded by transportation facilities. The project site is flat and lacking in notable features, other than a few trees along Campbell Boulevard. There are no substantial aesthetic resources in the project vicinity, including natural landscapes, tree groves, or stream corridors.

There are two designated State scenic highways in Merced County: Interstate 5 from the Stanislaus County Line to State Route (SR) 152 (14.9 miles), and SR 152 from Interstate 5 to the Santa Clara County Line (13.8 miles). (Caltrans 2018). Both scenic highways are in western Merced County; neither are in the project vicinity. The site is designated and Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-3 December 2020
zoned for commercial use, and the proposed project is consistent with these designations.

The project would have no impact on scenic resources.
c) Visual Character and Quality.

As noted in b) above, the project site has no significant scenic resources. The visual character of the project would be consistent with the mixed urban development, vacant land, and agricultural landscapes in the vicinity. The project would comply with the landscaping provisions of Livingston Municipal Code Section 5-4-4, which would enhance the visual character of the project site. The project also would be subject to Site Plan and Design Review by the City, as specified in Livingston Municipal Code Section 5-6-7, which is intended to reduce negative impacts of non-aesthetic development. Compliance with these provisions of the Municipal Code would make project impacts on visual character and quality less than significant.
d) Light and Glare.

The project would add parking and circulation, signage, and building lighting to a site that currently has no lighting. However, the project is in an urbanizing area designated for highway commercial development and near an existing freeway interchange. Proposed lighting would be similar to lighting at existing and approved commercial and light industrial development in the area.

The City’s Site Plan and Design Review requires a project to identify potentially reflective exterior building materials and their locations in relation to motorists and other persons within sight of the project. Also, site plans must identify any exterior light sources and areas subject to potential off-site illumination. Potential off-site lighting impacts would be evaluated during City site plan review for consistency with Livingston Municipal Code Section 5-4-6(A)(1), which limit glare impacts on any adjacent residential properties.

The project would implement a Lighting Plan that would be consistent with California’s 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, Title 24, Part 6, which includes lighting controls such as the use of light-emitting diode fixtures, time switches, and motion sensors for all exterior lighting. Pole-mounted light fixtures would be appropriately angled to minimize light exposure. Project impacts related to light and glare would be less than significant.

d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
The project site has been used for agriculture in the past; however, it is currently not in agricultural use. Surrounding lands also show evidence of past agricultural use, but they also are currently vacant. The project site and surrounding lands have been annexed to the City of Livingston and they are designated and zoned for urban development. In recent years, urban development has occurred in the vicinity, and agricultural operations have mostly ceased.

The Important Farmland Maps, prepared by the California Department of Conservation as part of its Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, designate the viability of lands for farmland use, based on the physical and chemical properties of the soils and other factors.

The maps categorize farmland, in decreasing order of soil quality, as "Prime Farmland," "Unique Farmland," and "Farmland of Statewide Importance." Collectively, these categories are referred to as “Farmland” in the CEQA Checklist in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines and in this document. There are also designations for grazing land and for urban/built-up areas, among others. According to the 2016 Important Farmland Map of Northern Merced County, the project site is designated as Farmland of Local Importance (FMMP 2016). For the purposes of CEQA, the project site is not considered “Farmland.” Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Farmland Conversion.

As noted, the project site is designated by the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program as Farmland of Local Importance, which is cultivable land that does not meet the CEQA Guidelines definition of Farmland. Therefore, the project would not convert Farmland to non-agricultural uses. The project would have no impact on Farmland conversion. v
v
v
v
Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-5 December 2020
b) Agricultural Zoning and Williamson Act.

As noted, the project site is designated and zoned for commercial uses. It is not zoned for agriculture. The Williamson Act is State legislation that seeks to preserve farmland by offering property tax breaks to farmers who sign a contract pledging to keep their land in agricultural use. The project site is not under a Williamson Act contract. The project would have no impact related to agricultural zoning or Williamson Act contracts. c, d) Forest Land Conversion and Zoning.

There are no forest lands on the project site or in Merced County. Neither the project site nor lands in the vicinity are zoned as forest or timber lands. The project would have no impact on forest lands.
e) Indirect Conversion of Farmland and Forest Land.

The project site and surrounding lands have been designated and zoned for urban development by the City. Streets and infrastructure have been extended to the area in support of planned development. The project site would connect to existing infrastructure.

The project site and adjacent parcels are designated Farmland of Local Importance, which is not considered Farmland for CEQA purposes. As noted, there are no forest lands in the vicinity. The project would have no impact on indirect conversion of Farmland or forest land.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Air Quality Status
The project site is within the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD), which includes Merced County, has jurisdiction over most air quality matters in the Air Basin. The SJVAPCD is tasked with implementing programs and regulations required by both the federal and California Clean Air Acts. Under their respective Clean Air Acts, both the State of California and the federal government have established ambient air quality standards for six criteria air pollutants: ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and lead. The State of California has four additional criteria pollutants under its Clean Air Act.

Table 3-1 shows the current attainment status of the Air Basin relative to the federal and State ambient air quality standards for criteria pollutants. Except for ozone and particulate matter, which are discussed below, the Air Basin is in attainment of, or unclassified for, all federal and State ambient air quality standards.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-7 December 2020
Air Pollutants of Concern
The San Joaquin Valley Air Basin is designated a non-attainment area for ozone. Ozone is not emitted directly into the air. It is formed when reactive organic gases (ROG) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), referred to as “ozone precursors,” react in the atmosphere in the presence of sunlight. Ozone is a respiratory irritant and an oxidant that increases susceptibility to respiratory infections and can cause substantial damage to vegetation and other materials. The SJVAPCD currently has a 2007 Ozone Plan and a 2013 Plan for the Revoked 1-Hour Ozone Standard for the Air Basin to attain federal ambient air quality standards for ozone.

The Air Basin is also designated a non-attainment area for respirable particulate matter, a mixture of solid and liquid particles suspended in air, including dust, pollen, soot, smoke, and liquid droplets. Particulate matter is generated by a mix of rural and urban sources, including agricultural activities, industrial emissions, dust suspended by vehicle traffic, and secondary aerosols formed by reactions in the atmosphere. Health concerns associated with suspended particulate matter focus on those particles small enough to reach the lungs when inhaled; consequently, both the federal and state air quality standards for particulate matter apply to particulates 10 micrometers or less in diameter (PM10) as well as to particulates less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5), which are carried deeper into the lungs.

Acute and chronic health effects associated with high particulate levels include the aggravation of chronic respiratory diseases, heart and lung disease, coughing, bronchitis, and respiratory illnesses in children. The SJVAPCD currently has a 2007 PM10 Maintenance Plan to maintain the Air Basin’s attainment status for federal PM10 ambient air quality standards, and a 2008 PM2.5 Plan for the Air Basin to attain federal PM2.5 ambient air quality standards.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas that is highly toxic. It is formed by the incomplete combustion of fuels and is emitted directly into the air, unlike ozone. The main source of CO in the San Joaquin Valley is on-road motor vehicles (SJVAPCD 2015). The San Joaquin Valley Air Basin is in attainment/unclassified status for CO; as such, the SJVAPCD has no CO attainment plans. High CO concentrations may occur in areas of limited geographic size ordinarily associated with highly congested traffic - sometimes referred to as “hot spots.”
In addition to the criteria pollutants, the California Air Resources Board has also identified other air pollutants as toxic air contaminants (TACs) - pollutants that may cause acute serious, long-term effects, such as cancer, even at low levels. Diesel particulate matter is the most common TAC, generated mainly as a product of combustion in diesel engines.

Emissions from fuel dispensing are regulated as TACs, as discussed below. Other TACs are less common and are typically associated with industrial activities.

Air Quality Rules and Regulations
As previously noted, the SJVAPCD has jurisdiction over most air quality matters in the Air Basin. It implements the federal and California Clean Air Acts, and the applicable attainment and maintenance plans, through local regulations. The SJVAPCD has developed plans to attain State and federal standards for ozone and particulate matter, Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-8 December 2020
which include emissions inventories to measure the sources of air pollutants and the use of computer modeling to estimate future levels of pollution and make sure that the Valley will meet air quality goals (SJVAPCD 2015). A State Implementation Plan for carbon monoxide has been adopted by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) for the entire state. The SJVAPCD regulations that would be applicable to the project are summarized below.

Regulation VIII (Fugitive Dust PM10 Prohibitions)
Rules 8011-8081 are designed to reduce PM10 emissions (predominantly dust/dirt) generated by human activity, including construction and demolition activities, road construction, bulk materials storage, paved and unpaved roads, carryout and track out and, landfill operations, among others.

Rule 4101 (Visible Emissions)
This rule prohibits emissions of visible air contaminants to the atmosphere and applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants, including construction.

Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review)
Rule 9510, also known as the Indirect Source Rule, is intended to reduce or mitigate emissions of NOx and PM10 from new development in the SJVAPCD including construction and operational emissions. This rule requires specific percentage reductions in estimated on-site construction and operation emissions, and/or payment of off-site mitigation fees for required reductions that cannot be met on the project site. Construction emissions of NOx and PM10 exhaust must be reduced by 20% and 45%, respectively. Operational emissions of NOx and PM10 must be reduced by

33.3% and 50%, respectively. The Indirect Source Rule applies to commercial development projects of 2,000 square feet and larger. Based on this criterion, the project would be subject to Rule 9510.

In addition, the SJVAPCD regulates the construction and improvement of facilities with potential air toxic emissions, including fueling stations. Toxic substances in gasoline include benzene, toluene, and naphthalene, among others. SJVAPCD rules applicable to fueling stations include:

Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review Rule) New stationary sources and modifications of existing stationary sources that may emit criteria pollutants must obtain an Authority to Construct and Permit to Operate the proposed facility. Emissions that exceed impact thresholds must include emission controls and may require additional mitigation. To protect local and regional public health and safety, fueling station applications are reviewed under Rule 2201 for compliance with SJVAPCD rules. SJVAPCD review of these applications includes consideration of proposed vapor recovery equipment and whether the controlled volatile organic compound emissions require offsets or trigger public notice requirements.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-9 December 2020
Rule 4621 (Gasoline Transfer into Stationary Storage Containers, Delivery Vessels and Bulk Plants)
Rule 4621 prohibits the transfer of gasoline from a delivery vessel into a stationary storage container unless the container is equipped with an ARB-certified permanent submerged fill pipe and ARB certified pressure-vacuum relief valve and utilizes an ARB-certified Phase I vapor recovery system.

Rule 4622 (Transfer of Gasoline into Vehicle Fuel Tanks) Rule 4622 prohibits the transfer of gasoline from a stationary storage container into a motor vehicle fuel tank with a capacity greater than five gallons, unless the gasoline dispensing unit used to transfer the gasoline is equipped with and has in operation an ARB-certified Phase II vapor recovery system.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
In 2015, the SJVAPCD adopted a revised Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQI). GAMAQI defines an analysis methodology, thresholds of significance, and mitigation measures for the assessment of air quality impacts for land development projects within SJVAPCD’s jurisdiction. Table 3-2 shows the CEQA thresholds for significance for pollutant emissions within the SJVAPCD. The significance thresholds apply to emissions from both project construction and project operations and are independent of toxic emissions associated with fuel storage and dispensing.

The California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) was used to estimate total construction emissions from the proposed project.

The CalEEMod results are shown in Appendix A of this document and in Table 3-2, along with the CEQA thresholds of significance set forth in the GAMAQI. “Mitigated emissions” are those that occur with implementation of SJVAPCD Regulation VIII, which is designed to reduce fugitive dust emissions during construction activities.

Emissions from project operations would primarily be from vehicle trips to and from the project site. Total annual emissions estimated at completion and occupancy of the proposed project, assumed to occur in 2020, are shown in Table 3-3, along with the CEQA thresholds of significance set forth in the GAMAQI. “Mitigated emissions” are the result of the application of project features and regulatory requirements that reduce air pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the project. Section 3.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, discusses these features and requirements in more detail.

Sources: California Emissions Estimator Model v. 2016.3.2; SJVAPCD 2015. a) Air Quality Plan Consistency.

SJVAPCD has attainment plans for ozone and particulate matter, while the State has a CO attainment plan. As indicated in Tables 3-2 and 3-3, project construction and operational emissions would not exceed SJVAPCD significance thresholds for criteria pollutants, except for NOx operational emissions. However, the project would be required to comply with SJVAPCD Rule 9510, which requires reductions of NOx operational emissions by

33.3%. Application of this rule would reduce NOx operational emissions below the SJVAPCD significance threshold. Based on this, the project would be consistent with adopted reduction plans for these pollutants. Project impacts related to air quality plans would be less than significant.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-11 December 2020 b) Cumulative Emissions.

The project would contribute emissions of ozone and particulate matter to the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin, which is currently in non-attainment status for these two pollutants.

Although the operational emissions, except for NOx, would not exceed the SJVAPCD significance thresholds (see Table 3-3), the project would contribute emissions in an Air Basin not in compliance with federal and state air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter. Therefore, the project could result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of these two criteria pollutants.

Development proposed by the project is consistent with the land use designations of the Livingston General Plan. The General Plan EIR analyzed the potential impacts of development anticipated in the General Plan on air quality. The EIR noted that if an individual project, such as the General Plan update, results in an incremental contribution to a non-attainment condition, significant cumulative impacts would result. The EIR stated that policies, regulations, and land use measures in the General Plan would reduce impacts, and the EIR notes that emissions are expected to decrease from then-extant conditions due to the use of cleaner fuels and vehicles and more efficient location of complementary land uses. Nevertheless, the EIR concluded that General Plan impacts on air quality were significant and unavoidable (City of Livingston 1999b). In certifying the General Plan EIR in 1999, the City Council adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations that acknowledged the impact on air quality but found other considerations outweighed the adverse impact. This Statement of Overriding Considerations remains operative.

According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15152(d), where an EIR has been prepared and certified for a plan, any lead agency for a later project pursuant to or consistent with the plan should limit the project EIR or negative declaration to effects which were not examined as significant effects on the environment in the prior EIR, or are susceptible to substantial reduction or avoidance by the choice of specific revisions in the project, by the imposition of conditions, or other means. The cumulative impacts on air quality associated with the project had already been examined in the General Plan EIR, and these impacts were found to not be susceptible to substantial reduction or avoidance by any changes to the project. Therefore, the project’s cumulative impacts on air quality do not require additional consideration under CEQA and are considered less than significant in this analysis.
c) Exposure of Sensitive Receptors to Pollutants.

The project site is in an area of mixed land uses, but most lands in the immediate vicinity of the site are vacant or undeveloped. Residences and care facilities are considered land uses sensitive to air pollutant emissions. The nearest sensitive land use is a residential subdivision more than 1,000 feet to the northwest. As noted, project construction and operational emissions would be below SJVAPCD significance thresholds for criteria pollutants, except for NOx operational emissions. However, these emissions would be reduced below their significance threshold through compliance with SJVAPCD Rule 9510.

Moreover, implementation of applicable SJVAPCD rules and regulations would further reduce emissions, making them even less likely to reach these sensitive land uses in quantities of concern.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-12 December 2020 CO hotspots have the potential to expose receptors to emissions that violate state and/or federal CO standards, even if the broader Air Basin is in attainment of these standards. The GAMAQI indicates that a project would create no violations of the carbon monoxide standards if neither of the following criteria are met by (SJVAPCD 2015):
• A traffic study for the project indicates that the Level of Service (LOS) on one or more streets or at one or more intersections in the project vicinity will be reduced to LOS E or F; or
• A traffic study indicates that the project will substantially worsen an already existing LOS F on one or more streets or at one or more intersections in the project vicinity (See Section 3.17, Transportation, for an explanation of LOS).

As noted in Section 3.17, Transportation, the intersections affected by the project are expected to maintain at least the minimum acceptable LOS of C, as set by the City, with the implementation of mitigation measures. Therefore, the project would have no adverse impact related to CO emissions.

Fueling station operations would involve the dispensing of gasoline, which can emit vapors that are considered toxic. SJVAPCD Rules 4621 and 4622 would require the installation of vapor recovery systems, which would reduce the potential exposure of people using fuel pumps to potentially toxic emissions. The SJVAPCD may impose other conditions as warranted as part of its review conducted under SJVAPCD Rule 2201 as needed to prevent adverse air toxics effects on sensitive receptors in the project vicinity. The potential exposure of people to pollutant emissions is considered less than significant. d) Odors and Other Emissions.

Fueling station and restaurant operations may include the emissions of odors associated with the dispensing of fuel and the cooking of food. Fuel odors would be localized and are not expected to spread beyond the fuel dispensing area, particularly since the project would be required to comply with SJVAPCD Rules 4621 and 4622 as discussed above. Cooking odors are not typically considered adverse. As noted in d) above, land uses potentially sensitive to odors are at a substantial distance from the project site which would in any event result in substantial dispersal of odors generated from the project site. Project impacts related to odors would be less than significant.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
The project site is relatively flat with sandy soil. Vegetation consists mainly of grasses and weeds, with sparse growth throughout most of the project site and thicker growth along Campbell Boulevard. The City General Plan states that the natural vegetation of the Livingston area historically consisted of vast stretches of savanna traversed by riparian corridors along the Merced River and its tributaries. None of these corridors or corridor remnants are in the project vicinity. Natural vegetation communities in the Livingston vicinity have been all but eliminated as a result of agricultural and urban development. v
v
v
v
v
v
Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-14 December 2020 The reduction of natural vegetation communities has also reduced the amount of suitable habitat for special-status plant and wildlife species. Special-status species are plant or wildlife species that are legally protected under the federal and/or California Endangered Species Act. They are also species considered rare or endangered as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15380, such as species identified on Lists 1A, 1B and 2 in the Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California by the California Native Plant Society, and species that are considered sensitive or of special concern due to limited distribution or lack of adequate information to permit listing or rejection for state or federal status.

According to the Livingston General Plan, some migratory birds do pass through the Livingston area, but Livingston is not a known year-round or seasonal habitat for migratory birds. The project site was inspected by BaseCamp Environmental staff for the presence of wetlands, riparian areas, other sensitive habitats, or indications of special-status species use. The project site does not contain any wetlands, riparian areas, oak trees, sensitive habitats, or indications of use by special-status species.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Effects on Special-Status Species.

A search of the California Natural Diversity Database, the results of which are available in Appendix B, indicated the presence of 14 special-status species in the Cressey quadrangle map area, within which the project site is located. Of these species, four are fish species for which no streams are available on the project site. Both plant special-status species require vernal pools or seasonal wetlands, neither of which are found on the project site.

Suitable habitat is not available on the project site for the western pond turtle or for the identified lizard species. The project site contains no elderberry shrubs, which provide habitat for the valley elderberry longhorn beetle. No suitable nesting habitat is available for the tricolored blackbird, and there is no substantial habitat for white-tailed kite and Cooper’s hawk.

The one special-status species that may have more than a transitory occurrence on the project site is Swainson’s hawk, a migratory bird listed as threatened under the California Endangered Species Act. Swainson’s hawks are found in the Central Valley primarily during their breeding season from mid-March to late August; a population is known to winter in the San Joaquin Valley. This species is known to forage in agricultural fields and annual grasslands. However, the quality of foraging habitat on the project site is low and the site is small relative to Swainson’s hawk forging area. There are no large trees close to the site that would be suitable for Swainson’s hawk nesting. Because of this, Swainson’s hawk is unlikely make any substantial use of the project site. Project impacts on specialstatus species would be less than significant. b) Riparian and Other Sensitive Habitats.

There are no streams located on or adjacent to the project site; therefore, the project would not affect stream habitats. Other sensitive habitats that may be found in the San Joaquin Valley include vernal pools, oak woodlands, and native grasslands. The California Natural Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-15 December 2020 Diversity Database search indicated the presence of the Northern Hardpan Vernal Pool community in the Cressey quadrangle map area. However, none of these habitats exist on the project site. The project would have no impact on sensitive habitats. c) Wetlands.

As noted, no wetlands were found on the project site. There are no streams or other Waters of the United States either on or adjacent to the project site. The project would have no impact on wetlands.
d) Fish and Wildlife Movement.

There are no streams either on or adjacent to the project site, so no fish movements would be affected by the project. The site is isolated from wildlife habitat by existing urban development and streets. Site development would not adversely affect wildlife movement.

The lack of foraging habitat and trees would make it unlikely that migratory birds would make substantial use the project site for foraging or nesting. The project would have no impact on fish and wildlife movement.
e) Local Biological Requirements.

Livingston Municipal Code Section 5-4-8 seeks to protect and preserve mature trees on private property. A permit shall be required for the removal of any mature tree measuring at least six inches in diameter, as measured four feet above grade at the base of the tree.

The City requires a five to one (5:1) replacement ratio for removal of any protected tree, although the City has discretion to reduce this ratio if trees larger than the minimum required 24-inch box size are used as replacements. As noted in Section 3.1, Aesthetics, there are a few trees on the project site along Campbell Boulevard. Should these trees meet the criteria, then the provisions of Section 5-4-8 would apply. Project impacts on local biological requirements would be less than significant. f) Conflict with Habitat Conservation Plans.

Habitat Conservation Plans are plans prepared under Section 10 of the federal Endangered Species Act that allow activities that could result in an “incidental take” of listed species to occur, with implementation of measures to mitigate impacts on listed species and to monitor the effectiveness of the mitigation. Natural Community Conservation Plans are California counterparts to Habitat Conservation Plans but are broader in their geographical range and conservation objectives, which include protection of ecosystems. There are no Habitat Conservation Plans, Natural Community Conservation Plans, or similar plans that apply to the project site. The project would have no impact on this issue.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Prehistoric Era
The City of Livingston lies within the historic territory of the Yokuts, which ranged from the Tehachapi Mountains to modern-day Stockton in the San Joaquin Valley. Section 3.18, Tribal Cultural Resources, discusses the Yokuts in more detail.

Several archaeological surveys had been conducted in the Livingston area prior to and during the preparation of the General Plan EIR. All survey efforts have yielded negative results. The General Plan EIR concluded that the Livingston area was probably never a prehistoric population center, and minor cultural resource sites that probably existed at one time have been largely destroyed by extensive agricultural operations (City of Livingston 1999b).

Historic Era
Livingston was originally named Cressey, after a major landowner on whose property a railroad station was established by the Santa Fe Railroad. Renamed Livingston, reportedly in honor of the explorer Dr. David Livingstone, the first known plat of the town dates from 1872. Livingston became a shipping and supply center for surrounding farms and ranches.

In the early 20th century, the Yamato Colony, an agricultural cooperative founded by Japanese Americans, was established on land between Livingston and the community of Cressey. In 1996, the State Route (SR) 99 bypass around Livingston was completed, thereby eliminating the last traffic signal on SR 99 between Sacramento and Bakersfield (Fimrite 1996). The project site is adjacent to this bypass.

The Livingston General Plan EIR evaluated the potential for significant historical resources in Livingston. Previous studies had identified only two potential historical resources in Livingston: the Livingston Canal in the northern part of Livingston and the Arena Canal v
v
v
Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-17 December 2020 passing through the southern portion of the City. Both canals were considered ineligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

The Central California Information Center at California State University Stanislaus conducted a search of records for historical and archaeological resources. Appendix C contains the results of the search. The Central California Information Center noted that the project site has been subject to seven previous cultural resource investigations. There are no formally recorded prehistoric or historic archaeological resources or historic buildings within the immediate vicinity of the project area. The project site has a low sensitivity for the possible discovery of prehistoric or historic resources.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Historical Resources.

A records search conducted by the Central California Information Center found no documented historical or archaeological resources in the immediate vicinity of the project site and indicated that the site has a low sensitivity for the possible discovery of prehistoric resources. The project site does fall within the proposed boundaries of the Merced Irrigation District, which was created between 1870-1922; however, there are no recorded resources associated with the District within the project site.

There are no existing structures on the site that might be considered historic. The site and surrounding landscape have been substantially modified by agricultural activities and later by construction of the SR 99 bypass and the adjacent City streets. The project would have no impact on historical resources.
b) Archaeological Resources.

As noted in a) above, a records search conducted by the Central California Information Center found no documented prehistoric resources in the immediate vicinity of the project site. Given past disturbance of the project site by agricultural activities and road development, it is unlikely that any archaeological resources would be found intact.

However, it is conceivable that excavation associated with the project could unearth archaeological materials of significance that are currently unknown. Mitigation described below would establish procedures to address archaeological discoveries if they should occur, which would reduce any potential impacts to a level that would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures:

CULT-1: If any subsurface cultural resources are encountered during construction of the project, all construction activities in the vicinity of the encounter shall be halted until a qualified archaeologist can examine these materials, make a determination of their significance and, if significant, recommend further mitigation measures that would reduce potential effects to a level that is less than significant. Recommended measures could include, but are not limited to, 1) preservation in place, or 2) excavation, recovery, and curation by qualified professionals. The City Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-18 December 2020 of Livingston Community Development Department shall be notified, and the project developer shall be responsible for retaining qualified professionals, implementing recommended mitigation measures and documenting mitigation efforts in a written report to the City’s Community Development Department, consistent with the requirements of the CEQA Guidelines.
c) Human Burials.

As with other cultural resources, it is not expected that any human burials, particularly those of Native Americans, would be uncovered by construction on the project site, given its extensive disturbance and distant location from probable Native American settlements (see Section 3.18, Tribal Cultural Resources). However, it is conceivable that excavation associated with the project could uncover a previously unknown burial.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(e) describes the procedure to be followed when human remains are uncovered in a location outside a dedicated cemetery. All work in the vicinity of the find shall be halted, and the County Coroner shall be notified to determine if an investigation of the death is required. If the Coroner determines that the remains are Native American in origin, then the Coroner must contact the Native American Heritage Commission within 24 hours. The Native American Heritage Commission shall identify the most likely descendants of the deceased Native American, and the most likely descendants may make recommendations on the disposition of the remains and any associated grave goods with appropriate dignity. If a most likely descendant cannot be identified, the descendant fails to make a recommendation, or the landowner rejects the recommendations of the most likely descendant, then the landowner shall rebury the remains and associated grave goods with appropriate dignity on the property in a location not subject to further disturbance.

Mitigation presented below would require compliance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(e). Implementation of the mitigation measure would ensure that any human remains and associated grave goods encountered during project construction would be treated with appropriate dignity. Project impacts on human remains after mitigation would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures:

CULT-2: If project construction encounters evidence of human burial or scattered human remains, the contractor shall immediately notify the County Coroner and the City, which shall in turn notify the appropriate tribal representatives. The City shall notify other federal and State agencies as required. The City will be responsible for compliance with the requirements of California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 and with any direction provided by the County Coroner. If the human remains are determined to be Native American, the County Coroner shall notify the Native American Heritage Commission, which will notify and appoint a Most Likely Descendant. The Most Likely Descendant shall work with the City and a qualified archaeologist to Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-19 December 2020 decide the proper treatment of the human remains and any associated funerary objects in accordance with California Public Resources Code Sections 5097.98 and 5097.991. Avoidance is the preferred means of disposition of the burial resources.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Electricity and natural gas are major energy sources for residences and businesses in California. In Merced County, electricity consumption in 2016 totaled approximately 3,559 million kilowatt-hours (kWh), of which approximately 2,840 million kWh were consumed by non-residential uses and the remainder by residential uses (CEC 2018a). In 2018, natural gas consumption in Merced County totaled approximately 120 million therms, of which approximately 96 million therms were consumed by non-residential uses and the remainder by residential uses (CEC 2018b).

Motor vehicle use accounts for substantial energy usage. The Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) estimated total vehicle miles traveled (VMT) within Merced County and its cities were approximately 2,725,000 miles daily in 2016 (MCAG 2018a).

Estimated motor vehicle fuel consumption in Merced County in 2015 was 304,600 gallons of gasoline and 209,600 gallons of diesel fuel per day. Fuel consumption per capita was

1.89 gallons per day (MCAG 2018b).

The State of California has adopted comprehensive energy efficiency standards as part of its Building Standards Code, California Code of Regulations, Title 24. Part 6 of Title 24 is referred to as the California Energy Code. In 2009, the California Building Standards Commission adopted a voluntary Green Building Standards Code, also known as CALGreen, which became mandatory in 2011. CALGreen sets forth mandatory measures, applicable to new residential and nonresidential structures as well as additions and alterations, on water efficiency and conservation, building material conservation, and interior environmental quality. It also mentions energy efficiency, although CALGreen defers to the Energy Code for actions. The City has adopted the 2019 versions of both the California Energy Code and CALGreen.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-20 December 2020 In 2002, California adopted a Renewables Portfolio Standard, and subsequently modified it in 2006 and 2011. Under the 2011 modifications, all electricity retailers in the state must generate 20% of electricity they sell from renewable energy sources (i.e., solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric from small generators, etc.) by the end of 2013, 25% by the end of 2016, and 33% by the end of 2020. As of the end of 2017, California derived 30% of its electricity from renewable sources, which is within 3% of the 2020 target and within 20% of the 2030 target (CEC 2018a). In 2015, SB 350 was signed into law, which increased the electricity generation requirement from renewable sources to 50% by 2030. Most recently, in 2018, SB 100 was enacted, which accelerated the schedule for 50% electricity generation from renewable sources to 2026 and set a goal of 60% electrical generation from renewable sources by 2030. It also set the goal that zero-carbon resources will supply 100% of electricity to California by 2045.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Project Energy Consumption.

Project construction would involve fuel consumption and use of other non-renewable resources. Construction equipment used for such improvements typically runs on diesel fuel or gasoline. The same fuels typically are used for vehicles that transport equipment and workers to and from a construction site. However, construction-related fuel consumption would be finite, short-term, and consistent with construction activities of a similar character. This energy use would not be considered wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary.

Electricity may be used for equipment operation during construction activities. It is expected that more electrical construction equipment would be used in the future, as it would generate fewer air pollutant emissions. This electrical consumption would be consistent with construction activities of a similar character; therefore, the use of electricity in construction activities would not be considered wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary, especially since fossil fuel consumption would be reduced. Moreover, under California’s Renewables Portfolio Standard, a greater share of electricity would be provided from renewable energy sources over time, so less fossil fuel consumption to generate electricity would occur.

Based on the most recent Commercial Energy Consumption Survey by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, proposed development on the project site is estimated to consume approximately 1.4 million kWh of electricity and 2.8 million cubic feet of natural gas annually (EIA 2016). The project would be required to comply with applicable provisions of the adopted California Energy Code and CALGreen in effect at the time of project approval. The provisions of these codes are intended to increase energy efficiency of buildings, thereby reducing energy consumption. Compliance with these standards would reduce energy consumption associated with project operations. Overall, project construction and operations would not consume energy resources in a manner considered wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary. Project impacts related to energy consumption would be less than significant.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-21 December 2020 b) Consistency with Energy Plans.

The City does not have adopted plans for renewable energy or energy efficiency. However, the City has adopted the 2019 versions of both the California Energy Code and CALGreen, which contain provisions that promote energy efficiency. The project would be required to comply with the applicable requirements of these two codes, which are designed to improve energy efficiency of structure, thereby forwarding State energy conservation goals. Project impacts related to energy plans would be less than significant.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-22 December 2020

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Topography and Soils
The project site lies in the San Joaquin Valley in central California. The San Joaquin Valley is the southern portion of the Great Valley Geomorphic Province, which is a topographically flat, northwest-trending, structural trough about 50 miles wide and 450 miles long. The San Joaquin Valley is filled with thick sedimentary rock sequences that were deposited as much as 130 million years ago. Large alluvial fans have developed on each side of the Valley. The Geologic Map of the San Francisco – San Jose Quadrangle (Wagner et al. 1991) designates the underlying geology of the project site as the Modesto Formation, consisting of Quaternary (geologically recent) sediments.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Soil Survey of Merced Area (SCS 1962, NRCS 2020), the soil on the project site is Delhi sand. This is a deep, excessively drained soil. Permeability is very rapid in this soil, which has very low water-holding capacity and produces little to no runoff. The wind erosion hazard is severe, and water erosion is evident where irrigation water has been applied too rapidly. The shrink-swell potential of this soil is low. The risk of corrosion is high for uncoated steel and low for concrete.

Seismic and Geologic Hazards
The project site is not within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Zones (California Geological Survey 2015). There is no record of seismic activity in the Livingston area, and no faults have been mapped (City of Livingston 1999a). However, the Livingston General Plan EIR identifies ground shaking as a potential hazard, noting the City is located between two major fault systems – the San Andreas Fault System 59 miles to the west, and the Mother Lode Fault System 42 miles to the east (City of Livingston 1999b). Additionally, the California Geological Survey notes the Ortigalita Fault, an active Holocene fault, is located 29 miles to the west.

When coarse sediments are saturated and compact during an earthquake, soils may lose strength and become fluid, a process called liquefaction. Water from voids may be forced to the ground surface, where it emerges in the form of mud spouts or sand boils. The Livingston General Plan does not identify significant liquefaction hazards in the project vicinity. As discussed in Section 3.10, Hydrology and Water Quality, groundwater levels in the Livingston area are in the range of 60-80 feet below the ground surface.

Paleontological Resources
As noted, geological materials underlying the project site include the recent (Quaternary) sedimentary deposits of the Modesto Formation. Numerous vertebrate fossil sites have been associated with the Modesto Formation in the Central Valley, including land mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians (California High Speed Rail Authority 2012).

The project site does not contain any known paleontological resources or unique geological features.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-23 December 2020 Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a-i) Fault Rupture Hazards.

As noted above, no active or potentially active faults have been mapped in the Livingston area. The California Geological Survey does not place the project site or the City in an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone (California Geological Survey 2015). The closest designated active fault is the Ortigalita fault, which is a Holocene fault approximately 29 miles west of the project site. The project would have no impact related to a fault rupture hazard.
a-ii, iii) Seismic Hazards.

As noted above, no seismic activity has been recorded in Livingston. However, the City and project site are subject to ground shaking from two fault systems. Ground shaking is a hazard to buildings and infrastructure. All new buildings in Livingston are required to be built in accordance with the most recent version of the California Building Code adopted by the City. The California Building Code includes provisions related to seismic safety, compliance with which requires buildings, based on occupancy type, to be constructed to withstand anticipated ground shaking. As a result of these requirements, project impacts related to seismic hazards are considered less than significant. a-iv) Landslides.

The topography of the project site and surrounding area is flat; therefore, landslides would not occur. The project would have no impact related to landslides. b) Soil Erosion.

Because of its sandy characteristics, Delhi soil on the project site is considered susceptible to both wind and water erosion. Compliance with SJVAPCD Regulation VIII, which is discussed in Section 3.3, Air Quality, would reduce potential wind erosion impacts.

Title 4, Chapter 6 of the Livingston Municipal Code sets forth provisions for grading of construction sites such that erosion and sedimentation are controlled. These provisions regulate and control the design, construction, quality of materials, use, location, and maintenance of grading, excavating and fill, land disturbances, land fill, and soil storage in connection with the clearing and grading of land for construction within the City. No grading or excavation is allowed without a grading permit issued by the City. An application for a grading permit must include, among other requirements, an interim and final erosion and sedimentation control plan and a geotechnical/soils investigation report if the grading operation exceeds 1,000 cubic yards. Compliance with the provisions of Livingston Municipal Code Title 4, Chapter 6 would minimize potential water erosion impacts.

In addition, for all projects that disturb one acre of land or more, a Construction General Permit is required from the SWRCB. The permit requirements include preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) by a Qualified SWPPP Developer to address potential water quality issues. A SWPPP specifies the Best Management Practices Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-24 December 2020 (BMPs) needed to avoid or minimize adverse water quality impacts. Construction BMPs fall within the general categories of Temporary Soil Stabilization, Temporary Sediment Control, Wind Erosion Control, Tracking Control, Non-Storm Water Management, and Waste Management and Materials Pollution Control. BMPs applicable to the project are incorporated in the SWPPP as required. BMPs are incorporated into project improvement plans and specifications, subject to the approval of the City Engineer. BMP function and effectiveness are monitored and reported, and remediation is required to address pollution occurrence.

The project would be required to comply with the provisions of the Construction General Permit from the SWRCB, including preparation of a SWPPP, which is required by the mitigation measure below. Compliance with the mitigation measure, along with the other regulations described above, would minimize the amount of sediment that leaves the construction site and potential construction water quality effects, thereby reducing soil erosion impacts to a level that would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures
GEO-1: Prior to commencement of construction activity, the developer shall prepare and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the project and file a Notice of Intent with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) in compliance with the
Construction General Permit and City of Livingston storm water requirements. The SWPPP shall be available on the construction site at all times. The developer shall incorporate an Erosion Control Plan consistent with all applicable provisions of the SWPPP within the site improvement and building plans. The developer also shall submit the SWRCB Waste Discharger’s Identification Number to the City prior to approval of development or grading plans.
c) Geologic Instability.

The City General Plan states that the City’s low elevation and mild topography negate other seismic hazards, such as settlement and liquefaction (City of Livingston 1999a). The depth to groundwater in the Livingston area ranges from 60 to 80 feet below ground surface (see Section 3.10, Hydrology and Water Quality). The soils underlying the sites where the facilities would be constructed have not been identified as inherently unstable or prone to failure. The project is not expected to change existing conditions related to geologic stability. Required engineering design of proposed structures and site improvements would avoid potential adverse effects, making potential project impacts less than significant. d) Expansive Soils.

Expansive soils are associated with soils with substantial clay content. Soils on the project site are sandy and have little to no clay content. Such soils are unlikely to be expansive.

The project would have no impact related to expansive soils.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-25 December 2020 e) Adequacy of Soils for Sewage Disposal.

The project would be connected to the City sewer system and would not use, and does not propose to install, any septic systems. The project would have no impact related to soil adequacy for sewage disposal.
f) Paleontological Resources and Unique Geological Features.

The project site is flat and contains no geological features that may be considered unique.

The project site is underlain by the Modesto Formation, which has been a source of paleontological finds. Given past agricultural activities on the project site, it is unlikely that any intact paleontological resources would be encountered. However, it is conceivable that currently unknown resources may be uncovered during project construction activities.

Procedures to address paleontological discoveries if they should occur are set forth in the mitigation measure below. Implementation of this mitigation would reduce potential impacts to a level that would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures:

GEO-2: If any subsurface paleontological resources are encountered during construction of the project, all construction activities in the vicinity of the encounter shall be halted until a qualified paleontologist can examine these materials, make a determination of their significance and, if significant, recommend further mitigation measures that would reduce potential effects to a level that is less than significant.

Recommended measures may include, but are not limited to, 1) preservation in place, or 2) excavation, recovery, and curation by qualified professionals. The City of Livingston Community Development Department shall be notified, and the project developer shall be responsible for retaining qualified professionals, implementing recommended mitigation measures and documenting mitigation efforts in a written report to the Community Development Department, consistent with the requirements of the CEQA Guidelines.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
GHG Background
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are gases that absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range, trapping heat in the earth’s atmosphere. GHGs are both naturally occurring and are emitted by human activity. GHGs include carbon dioxide, the most abundant GHG, as well as methane, nitrous oxide, and other gases. GHG emissions in California in 2017, the most recent year for which data are available, were estimated at approximately 424 million metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) – a decrease of approximately 14% from the peak level in 2004. Transportation was the largest contributor to GHG emissions in California, accounting for approximately 40% of total emissions. Other significant sources include industrial activities, with approximately 21% of total emissions, and electric power generation, both in-state and imported, with 14.7% of total emissions (ARB 2019).

Increased atmospheric concentrations of GHGs are considered a primary contributor to global climate change, which is a subject of concern for the State of California. Potential impacts of global climate change in California include reduced Sierra Nevada snowpack, increased wildfire hazards, greater number of hot days with associated decreases in air quality, and potential decreases in agricultural production (Climate Action Team 2010).

Unlike the criteria air pollutants described in Section 3.3, Air Quality, GHGs have no “attainment” standards established by the federal or State government. In fact, GHGs are not generally thought of as traditional air pollutants because their impacts are global in nature and their health effects are indirect; air pollutants mainly affect the general region of their release to the atmosphere (SJVAPCD 2015). Nevertheless, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that GHG emissions endanger both the public health and public welfare under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act due to their impacts associated with climate change (EPA 2009).

GHG Emission Reduction Plans
The State of California has implemented GHG emission reduction strategies through Assembly Bill (AB) 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, which requires total statewide GHG emissions to reach 1990 levels by 2020, or an approximately 29% reduction from 2004 levels. In compliance with AB 32, the State adopted the Climate Change Scoping Plan in 2008 and updated the plan in 2014. Primary strategies addressed in the original Scoping Plan included new industrial and emission control technologies; alternative energy generation technologies; advanced energy conservation in lighting, heating, cooling and ventilation; fuels with reduced carbon content; hybrid and electric vehicles; and methods for improving vehicle mileage (ARB 2008). The 2014 update highlights California’s progress toward meeting the 2020 GHG emission reduction goal of the original Scoping Plan, and it establishes a broad framework for continued emission reductions beyond 2020, on the path to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050 (ARB 2014). The Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-27 December 2020 2017 state GHG emissions were approximately seven million metric tons CO2e below the 2020 target established by AB 32 (ARB 2019).

In 2016, Senate Bill (SB) 32 was enacted. SB 32 extends the GHG reduction objectives of AB 32 by mandating statewide reductions in GHG emissions to levels that are 40% below 1990 levels by the year 2030. The State has adopted an updated Scoping Plan that sets forth strategies for achieving the SB 32 target. The updated Scoping Plan continues many of the programs that were part of the previous Scoping Plans, including the cap-and-trade program, low-carbon fuel standards, renewable energy, and methane reduction strategies.

It also addresses, for the first time, GHG emissions from the natural and working lands of California, including the agriculture and forestry sectors (ARB 2017).

The SJVAPCD adopted a Climate Change Action Plan in 2008 and issued guidance for development project compliance with the plan in 2009. The guidance adopted an approach that relies on the use of Best Performance Standards to reduce GHG emissions. Projects implementing Best Performance Standards would be determined to have a less than cumulatively significant impact. For projects not implementing Best Performance Standards, demonstration of a 29% reduction in project-specific (i.e., operational) GHG emissions from business-as-usual conditions is required to determine that a project would have a less than cumulatively significant impact (SJVAPCD 2009).

Cities and counties throughout California have prepared Climate Action Plans that outline how the local government will reduce GHG emissions, which are typically related to the 2020 emission reduction target set in the State’s Climate Change Scoping Plan. The City currently has no Climate Action Plan or other GHG reduction plan.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a, b) Project GHG Emissions and Consistency with GHG Reduction Plans.

The CalEEMod model estimated the total GHG construction and operational emissions associated with the project (see Appendix A). Table 3-4 presents the results of the CalEEMod run. GHG construction emissions would be limited due to the length of time of construction activity; these emissions would cease once work is completed.

1 Total GHG emissions for construction period in tons carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). 2 Annual emissions in tons CO2e.

Sources: California Emissions Estimator Model v. 2013.2.2.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-28 December 2020 “Mitigated emissions” are the result of project compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, along with inclusion of project features that reduce GHG emissions. These include the following:
• Increase in the diversity of land uses.
• The project site is approximately 0.75 miles from downtown Livingston. • The project would add sidewalk to the site.
• SB X7-7 in 2009 sets an overall goal of reducing per capita urban water use by 20% by December 31, 2020. The California Green Building Code mandates a 20% reduction in indoor water use.
• AB 341 establishes the goal of diverting 75% of California’s waste stream from landfills by 2020.

Mitigated operational GHG emissions would be approximately 15% less than under business-as-usual (unmitigated) conditions. This would be less than the 29% GHG reduction target of the SJVAPCD Climate Change Action Plan.

However, the Climate Change Action Plan is intended to be consistent with the State’s Climate Change Scoping Plan reduction targets, Approximately 83% of the GHG emission reduction programs in the Scoping Plan counted toward meeting the 29% objective for 2020 are State-level programs, with the remaining 17% to be achieved by programs at the local government level, including development review. Thus, the local action share of the 29% reduction would be 4.93%. Based on this, it can be assumed that a development project that achieves at least a 4.93% reduction in GHG emissions from business-as-usual levels would be consistent with the objectives of both State and SJVAPCD GHG reduction plans.

The 15% reduction associated with the project would exceed this local share. Therefore, project operational GHG emissions would be consistent with the Scoping Plan, along with the objectives of the Climate Change Action Plan. Project impacts related to GHG emissions and GHG reduction plans are considered less than significant.

g) Expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires?

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
This section focuses on hazards associated with hazardous materials, proximity to airports, and wildfires. Geologic and soil hazards are addressed in Section 3.7, Geology and Soils; potential flooding hazards are addressed in Section 3.10, Hydrology and Water Quality.

Data on recorded hazardous material sites are kept in the GeoTracker database, maintained by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), and in the EnviroStor database, maintained by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). Both GeoTracker and EnviroStor provide the names and addresses of documented hazardous material sites, along with their cleanup status. A search of both GeoTracker and EnviroStor indicated no record of active hazardous material sites (i.e., sites not cleaned up) within onehalf mile of the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection (SWRCB 2020, DTSC 2020).

There are no airports in the Livingston area. The nearest airport to the project site is Turlock Municipal Airport in Turlock in Stanislaus County, approximately eight miles to the northwest. Castle Airport in Atwater is approximately nine miles to the east.

The Livingston General Plan states that wildland fire hazards threaten life and property within the Livingston vicinity. Wildland fires are an annual hazard in Merced County.

Wildland fires burn natural vegetation on undeveloped lands and include rangeland, brush, and grass fires. Long, hot, and dry summers with temperatures often exceeding 100°F add v

v
Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-30 December 2020 to the County’s fire hazard. Human activities are the major causes of wildland fires, while lightning causes the remaining wildland fires. The only wildfire hazard areas identified in the vicinity are scattered areas of Moderate hazard located east of the City (Merced County 2012).

Hazardous Materials
The regulation of hazardous materials at the federal level primarily is under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, which creates a framework for the transport, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes. The U.S. Department of Transportation sets regulations for the transport of hazardous materials, such as gasoline and diesel fuels. Several state agencies regulate the transportation and use of hazardous materials, including the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) and the Office of Emergency Services. The California Highway Patrol and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) enforce regulations specifically related to hazardous materials transport. Within CalEPA, the DTSC has primary authority to enforce hazardous materials regulations.

On the local level, the Merced County Health Department, Division of Environmental Health, has been approved by the State as a Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA). A CUPA administers the Hazardous Material Business Plan, California Accidental Release Prevention, Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act, Hazardous Waste Generator, and Hazardous Waste Onsite Treatment programs, and formerly the Underground Storage Tank (UST) program. Three of these programs are applicable to the project:
• A Hazardous Material Business Plan is required for all activities that handle hazardous materials in quantities equal to or greater than 55 gallons of a liquid. The requirements of the plan include an inventory of hazardous materials, an emergency plan addressing the release of hazardous materials, and a training program for employees.
• The Aboveground Storage Tank program requires any facility with an aggregate storage capacity of 1,320 gallons of petroleum or greater to prepare and implement a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan in accordance with federal law. The purpose of the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan is to help facilities prevent oil spills, as well as control a spill should one occur. • The UST program is intended to protect public health and the environment from exposure to hazardous materials stored in underground storage tanks. Program activities include inspection, permitting, monitoring, repair, installation, and removal of tanks. In 2013, the Merced County Health Department relinquished oversight of USTs to the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-31 December 2020 Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a, b) Hazardous Material Transport, Use, and Potential Release.

The project involves a fueling station, which would require the transport and storage of gasoline and diesel fuels. Both fuels are flammable, and gasoline contains toxic substances such as benzene. The fuels would be stored in underground tanks, the installation of which would be subject to the UST program. The project also would be required to submit a Hazardous Material Business Plan that addresses the on-site use and storage of fuels.

The main risk of hazardous material release would be from the transportation of fuels to the project site by tanker trucks. Fuels could be released by trucks involved in an accident or that overturn. As noted above, the transport of hazardous materials is subject to state and federal regulations designed to minimize the risk of release of hazardous materials into the environment. While the City does not have regulations to minimize the risk of release of hazardous materials, the City and Merced County have emergency response teams that would handle any incident involving hazardous materials. The project is accessible from SR 99 freeway and urban streets; the project would not result in a significant increase in hazards related to hazardous material transportation.

A potential release could also occur with spills at the aboveground fuel storage tanks on the project site. The project would be required to prepare and implement a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan, which would reduce the likelihood of spills and control spills should they occur.

Other commercial development on the project site would store, sell, and use small amounts of hazardous materials. These materials are not expected to be in quantities large enough to pose a threat to human health and the environment if released and would be stored and contained in accordance with applicable federal and state regulations. Project impacts related to hazardous materials handling are considered less than significant. c) Hazardous Materials Releases near Schools.

There are no schools within one-quarter mile of the project site. The nearest school is Campus Park Elementary, approximately one-half mile to the southwest. As noted above, hazardous materials to be stored, sold, or used on the project site would be subject to applicable federal and state transport and storage regulations. The project would have no impact on hazardous material releases near schools.
d) Hazardous Materials Sites.

As noted, a search of the GeoTracker and EnviroStor databases did not identify any active hazardous material sites in the vicinity of the project site. A list of solid waste disposal sites identified by SWRCB with waste constituents above hazardous waste levels outside the waste management unit did not show any locations at the project site or vicinity (CalEPA 2016a). Likewise, a list by SWRCB containing sites under Cease and Desist Orders and Cleanup and Abatement Orders showed no locations (CalEPA 2016b). The project would have no impact related to hazardous material sites.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-32 December 2020 e) Public Airport Operations.

As previously discussed, there are no public airports in Livingston or in the vicinity. The project would have no impact related to potential hazards from airport operations. f) Emergency Response and Evacuations.

Project construction work would mostly occur on the project site, with work on adjacent roads limited to connection to utility lines. Such work is not expected to require closure of the roads, so neither project construction nor operation is expected to obstruct emergency vehicle operations or evacuations that may occur in the area. Project impacts on emergency response or emergency evacuation plans would be less than significant. g) Wildland Fire Hazards.

The project site is not in a region susceptible to wildfires. Land in the vicinity of the project site is either agricultural or developed, and neither such land has a high wildfire potential.

The project would reduce the existing fire hazard on the parcel by replacing the existing grasses and weeds with development and pavement. Project impacts related to wildfires would be less than significant. See Section 3.20, Wildfire, for a more detailed discussion of potential hazards.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Surface Waters
There are no streams or other surface waters on or adjacent to the project site. The nearest surface waters of any kind are the Curtner Lateral and Wakefield Lateral, which are irrigation canals that are more than one-half mile north and south of the project site, respectively.

Surface water quality in the Livingston area is maintained through the City’s Storm Water Management Program (SWMP), developed in compliance with the federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program and with the SWRCB’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) General Permit. The program includes control measures and defines BMPs designed to protect surface water quality associated with land development during both construction and post-construction periods (City of Livingston 2007).

Post-construction elements of the SWMP are governed by City ordinances that require compliance with the City’s adopted SWMP, as permitted by the Central Valley RWQCB Order No. 2003-0005-DWQ. The SWMP identifies a range of post-construction BMPs that must be incorporated into development plans. BMPs may include, but are not limited to, vegetated buffer strips and swales, detention basins, vaults and wetlands, and various filtration and infiltration and structures devices, among others. Under new NPDES requirements applicable to the City, storm water discharge volumes associated with new development cannot exceed existing discharges. Volume control can be achieved through a combination of low-impact development and specific measures.

Groundwater
The project site is within the Merced Groundwater Subbasin, which underlies 767 square miles of central and eastern Merced County. The Merced Subbasin consists of five aquifer systems and has an estimated storage capacity of 45.3 million acre-feet. The storage capacity declined approximately 1.92 million acre-feet from 2006 to 2015. From the 1996 to the 2015 water years, average inflow per water year to the Subbasin has been 643,000 acre-feet, and average outflow has been 752,000 acre-feet (Merced SGMA 2019). v
v
v
Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-34 December 2020 The City relies on groundwater for its water supply, which is provided by eight wells (see Section 3.19, Utilities and Service Systems). In the Livingston area, the depth to the groundwater table ranges from 60 to 80 feet below ground surface (DWR 2004).

Groundwater quality in the Livingston area is generally good; however, the City has been given notices regarding water samples that contain unacceptable levels of coliform bacteria, arsenic, and 1,2,3-trichloropropane (City of Livingston 2018a). The City has recently implemented projects designed to correct identified water quality deficiencies (City of Livingston 2018b).

In 2014, the State enacted the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. This act requires the formation of local groundwater sustainability agencies that must assess conditions in their local water basins and adopt locally based Groundwater Sustainability Plans for sustainable use of groundwater and avoidance of overdraft. Plans for “critically overdrafted” basins must be completed and adopted by January 31, 2020, while plans for high- and medium-priority basins have an adoption deadline of January 31, 2022. The Merced Irrigation-Urban Groundwater Sustainability Agency, of which the City is a member, was formed in 2017. A Groundwater Sustainability Plan for the Merced Subbasin, classified as critically overdrafted, was adopted on January 28, 2020 (Merced SGMA 2019).

Flooding Hazard
A Flood Insurance Rate Map prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicates that the project site is designated Zone X. Zone X is considered an area of minimal flood hazard. It is outside a delineated 100-year floodplain – the floodplain commonly used to assess potential flooding impacts and considered a Special Flood Hazard Area (FEMA 2008). The project site is within the potential dam failure inundation area for the New Exchequer Dam, which forms the Lake McClure reservoir (Merced County 2013).

In 2007, the State of California approved SB 5 and a series of related Senate and Assembly bills intended to set new flood protection standards for urban areas in the Central Valley.

These bills, referred to collectively in this document as “SB 5,” establish the State standard for flood protection as the 200-year frequency flood. Under SB 5, urban and urbanizing areas must be provided with 200-year flood protection no later than 2025. Preliminary maps drafted by the California Department of Water Resources indicate the project site is outside the 200-year floodplain.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Surface Waters and Water Quality.

The project would not directly affect surface waters, as none are in the project vicinity. As noted in Section 3.7, Geology and Soils, construction activities would disturb soils, which could be transported off site by runoff and could eventually enter surface waters. Project development and operation would lead to contamination of storm runoff with fuels, oils, metals, and other substances associated with motor vehicles and trucks. These discharges could eventually enter surface waters. This is considered a potentially significant impact.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-35 December 2020 As noted, the City of Livingston has adopted a SWMP, which is intended to minimize the potential storm water quality impacts of development. Program elements most applicable to land development include construction storm water discharge requirements, industrial discharge requirements and the incorporation of post-construction BMPs. Storm water from areas of new development must be treated using the post-construction BMPs specified in the SWPPP. These measures will be specified during the design phase of the project.

Developers are required to enter into an agreement for maintenance of the postconstruction BMPs.

Compliance with the provisions of the City’s SWMP, which are specified in the mitigation measures below, would reduce impacts to a level that would be less than significant. In addition, implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-1, described in Section 3.7, Geology and Soils, would minimize water quality impacts from construction activities, along with compliance with SJVAPCD Regulation VIII.

Mitigation Measures
HYDRO-1: The developer shall submit a Storm Water Quality Plan for the project that shall include post-construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) as required by the City’s Storm Water
Management Program. The Storm Water Quality Plan shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Livingston Public Works Department prior to approval of project improvement plans.

HYDRO-2: If required, the developer shall execute a Maintenance Agreement with the City for stormwater BMPs prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy. The developer shall remain the responsible party and provide funding for the operation, maintenance and replacement costs of the proposed treatment devices built for the project.

The City relies on groundwater for its primary source of water. The project would not draw directly from the underlying groundwater but would be connected to the City’s water system. Project demand would indirectly affect groundwater supplies, but adequate water supply exists to accommodate this demand (see Section 3.19, Utilities and Service Systems).

The project would replace an existing vacant parcel of grasses and weeds with urban development, including pavement. This would substantially reduce the amount of precipitation that would percolate into the ground at this site, thereby reducing the sites contribution to groundwater recharge. Given the relatively small acreage of the project site and the extent of other lands available for recharge in and surrounding the City, the project is not expected to interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-36 December 2020 be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level. The Merced Integrated Regional Water Management Plan indicates an abundance of available land suitable for groundwater recharge in the Livingston vicinity (RMC Water and Environment 2013). Project impacts on groundwater are considered less than significant. c-i, ii) Drainage Patterns.

The project would alter existing storm drainage patterns, due to site grading and the installation of pavement. However, as described in c-iii) below, runoff from the project site would be collected and discharged to an on-site drainage system or to the City’s drainage system. Therefore, the altered drainage patterns would not lead to increased erosion or siltation, nor would it generate on-site or off-site flooding. Project impacts related to drainage patterns would be less than significant.
c-iii) Runoff.

Proposed improvements on the project site would result in the generation of additional runoff due to the introduction of impervious surfaces. An on-site drainage system would collect all runoff generated on the project site and either deliver it to the City’s drainage system or to an on-site detention basin. The on-site detention basin would be designed and installed in accordance with City standards and specifications. The City storm drainage system is expected to have capacity to accommodate project runoff it receives. Project impacts related to runoff are considered less than significant. c-iv) Flood Flows.

As noted, the project site is not within a 100-year floodplain as indicated by the FEMA map for the area, nor is it within a 200-year floodplain. The project would have no impact related to flood flows.
d) Other Flooding Hazards.

As noted, the project site is not within a floodplain. The site is within the potential inundation zone of New Exchequer Dam were it to fail. However, the Merced County General Plan states that the probability of failure of the dam as being low (Merced County 2013). The project site is in a topographically flat region away from the coast, with no large bodies of water in the vicinity. Therefore, the project would not be affected by seiche or tsunamis. Project impacts related to release of pollutants due to project site inundation are considered less than significant.
e) Water Quality and Groundwater Sustainability Plans.

As described above, the project would be required to comply with the provisions of the City’s SWMP, which is designed to maintain local water quality. The Groundwater Sustainability Plan for the Merced Subbasin has been adopted. It is expected that the project would comply with any applicable provisions of this plan. The project would have no impact related to water quality or groundwater plans.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
The project site is a flat, undeveloped area previously used in the past for agricultural activities. The site is currently vacant. As noted in Chapter 2.0, Project Description, the current City General Plan designation for the project site is Highway Commercial, Service Commercial. The current zoning is C-3, Highway Service Commercial. Adjacent lands are similarly designated for commercial and industrial development, except for land adjacent to and west of the project site that has an existing detention basin This land is designated by the City General Plan as Public Facility and is zoned PF, Public/Quasi Public Facilities.

The project vicinity generally consists of a mix of vacant and developed land. The site is bordered on the south by the SR 99 freeway, and on the north by Campbell Boulevard.

Adjacent lands are vacant. Northwest of the project site is a single-family residential development. North of the project site the vacant land is currently in limited agricultural use. Northeast of the project site is a light industrial development with a mix of businesses.

Low-income residents, communities of color, tribal nations, and immigrant communities have historically experienced disproportionate environmental burdens and related health problems. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has developed the California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool (CalEnviroScreen) to identify “environmental justice” or “disadvantaged” communities.

CalEnviroScreen measures pollution and population characteristics of each U.S. Census tract in California using 20 indicators such as air and drinking water quality, waste sites, toxic emissions, asthma rates, and poverty. These indicators are used to generate a score that rates the level of cumulative environmental impacts on each tract. A census tract with a higher score is one that experiences higher pollution burdens and vulnerability than one with a lower score.

The project site is within a Census tract that includes the City of Livingston north of SR 99, the community of Snelling, and the adjacent rural areas. This Census tract has a score in the 80-85% percentile, which makes it a “disadvantaged community” as defined by SB v
v
Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-38 December 2020 535. The tract, the population of which is 71% Hispanic, had high indicator scores related to air pollution, pesticides, and drinking water (OEHHA 2020).

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Division of Established Communities.

The project site is a vacant parcel in an area that contains mostly vacant parcels. The project site is adjacent to SR 99 and has been designated along with other properties in the area for highway commercial and industrial use. The project is consistent with these designations and therefore is a part of the future community of Livingston as defined in the Livingston General Plan. There are no residences or residential communities in the immediate vicinity.

The project would have no impact related to division of established communities. b) Conflicts with Plans, Policies and Regulations Mitigating Environmental Effects.

Project development would be consistent with existing zoning and General Plan designations. The City General Plan was prepared to balance City growth and development with environmental protection to the extent practical. The zoning ordinance is required to be consistent with the General Plan.

Potential environmental impacts of the project are described in this IS/MND, along with plans and ordinances applicable to the environmental issue analyzed. In no cases would the project result in an environmental impact that would be potentially significant.

Although not discussed in the City’s General Plan or other plans, adopted environmental impacts on disadvantaged communities is an issue of concern to the State of California. As noted, the project site is within a Census tract classified as a disadvantaged community by CalEnviroScreen. There are residential subdivisions within one-half mile of the project site that could potentially be affected by the project.

The project may contribute air pollutant emissions, including diesel particulate matter, that could have a negative impact (see Section 3.3, Air Quality). However, as discussed in Section 3.3, project operational emissions would not exceed the SJVAPCD significance thresholds for criteria pollutants except for NOx, which would be reduced below its significance threshold with the required application of SJVAPCD Rule 9510. The SJVAPCD significance thresholds were designed to ensure that SJVAPCD would meet its adopted air quality plans, which were designed in part to meet federal air quality standards set for human health. SJVAPCD Rules 4621 and 4622 would limit emissions from fuel dispensing stations in order to protect human health. The nearest sensitive receptors to air toxic emissions are approximately 1,200 feet away; diesel particulate matter emitted by the project would likely dissipate before reaching these receptors.

Also, as discussed in Section 3.10, Hydrology and Water Quality, the project would have no impact on groundwater, which is the main source for drinking water of the population in the Census tract that is not within the Livingston city limits. As the project does not propose agricultural uses, it would not contribute to existing conditions in the tract related to pesticide use.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-39 December 2020 The project is not expected to conflict with any City plans and ordinances containing provisions designed to avoid or minimize environmental effects. Project impacts would be less than significant.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
No significant mineral resources have been identified in the City of Livingston, and there are no mineral operations in Livingston (City of Livingston 1999b). There are no active oil or natural gas fields in the project vicinity (DOGGR 2001).

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a, b) Availability of Mineral Resources.

There are no identified mineral resources deposits in the Livingston area. The project would have no effect on the availability of, or access to, locally designated or known mineral resources. The project would have no impact on mineral resources.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-40 December 2020 c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Noise Background
Noise is commonly measured by using the decibel (dB) scale. Within the usual range of environmental noise levels, perception of loudness is relatively predictable, and can be approximated by the A-weighting network. There is a strong correlation between Aweighted sound levels (expressed as dBA) and the way the human ear perceives noise.

Community noise is commonly described in terms of the "ambient" noise level, which is defined as the all-encompassing noise level associated with a given noise environment. A common statistical tool to measure the ambient noise level is the average, or equivalent, sound level (Leq), which corresponds to a steady-state, A-weighted sound level containing the same total energy as a time-varying signal over a given time period (usually one hour).

The Leq shows very good correlation with community response to noise, and it is the basis for other noise descriptors such as Ldn and CNEL. Ldn (day-night average level) is based upon the average hourly Leq over a 24-hour day, with a +10 dB weighting applied to noise during the hours between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. to account for greater sensitivity during that period. The CNEL (community noise equivalent level) is similar to the Ldn, with an additional +5 dB weighting applied to noise during the hours between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

The project site and vicinity are currently a mix of agricultural, residential, and commercial uses, along with vacant land. The existing ambient noise environment in the project site is defined primarily by traffic on local surface roadways and on SR 99. The project site falls within the 60 dB Ldn noise contour for SR 99 (City of Livingston 1999a). Surface streets in the project site are lightly traveled and do not contribute substantially to the local effects of SR 99 traffic. Campbell Boulevard west and east of Hammatt Avenue currently generates Ldn noise levels ranging between 58 and 62 dB at 100 feet from the roadway centerline.

The Noise Element of the Livingston General Plan establishes noise standards applicable to new development projects. Residential dwellings shall not be exposed to noise from transportation sources at levels that exceed 65 dB Ldn/CNEL in outdoor activity areas of these facilities. Interior noise levels within these facilities shall not exceed 45 dB Ldn/CNEL. Conversely, and although not expressly stated in the general plan, new land uses that generate substantial transportation noise should not cause existing or planned residential areas to exceed outdoor noise standards.
v
Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-41 December 2020 The Noise Element also establishes acceptable noise level limits for stationary noise sources applicable at the property line of noise-sensitive land uses, such as residences.

Table 3-5 shows the City noise standards.

Source: City of Livingston 1999a.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Exposure to Noise Exceeding Local Standards.

Project construction would involve temporary increases in ambient noise levels, due to the use of construction equipment and construction vehicle traffic to and from the project site.

Noise associated with construction equipment use can range up to approximately 90 dB at 50 feet. Construction noise involves a potentially significant impact where it occurs in the vicinity of sensitive receptors.

The project site is approximately 1,200 feet from the nearest sensitive receptor, which is existing residential development to the northeast. The distance between the project site and nearby residences would result in maximum noise level reductions of more than 24 dB, reducing maximum construction noise levels to below 70 dB, the City’s maximum nighttime noise level standard. The City of Livingston 1999 General Plan prohibits the operation of construction equipment on private property such that the sound creates a noise disturbance across a residential property line during the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., limiting the time any noise generated by construction activities would reach residences. In addition, construction noise would cease once construction work is completed.

Construction noise impacts would be less than significant.

The proposed commercial development is not a noise-sensitive land use, and therefore project exposure to noise generated by existing and future traffic on SR 99 or on surrounding local streets would not be of concern. The developed project site would have the characteristics of a stationary noise source and a source of off-site traffic noise that could affect surrounding land uses. The project would be located adjacent to Hammatt Avenue and the SR 99 northbound ramps, which are not noise sensitive, and there are no existing or planned sensitive noise receptors in the immediate project vicinity. As noted, the closest sensitive noise receptor is approximately 1,200 feet northeast of the project site.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-42 December 2020 The project would generate substantial additional truck and other vehicular traffic along Hammatt Avenue and Campbell Boulevard between the SR 99 ramps and the project access ways. Traffic increases on Campbell Boulevard would be concentrated in the section south of Hammatt Avenue. Potential increases in noise generated by project traffic were modeled using the Federal Highway Administration’s Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA-RD-77-108). Under both existing and cumulative conditions, project-related traffic would not result in significant increases in either existing or future traffic noise.

South of Hammatt Avenue, the project-generated traffic would result in significant noise increases under existing plus project (11.9 dB) and future cumulative (10.7 dB) scenarios in the immediate vicinity of Campbell Boulevard, largely as a result of increases in truck traffic. Increased traffic would increase traffic noise levels from existing levels in the range of 61-64 dB Ldn to with-project levels just exceeding 70 dB within 100 feet of the roadway.

However, lands within 800 feet of Campbell Boulevard are in, or planned for, commercial use that are not noise-sensitive, so noise increases associated with the project would not result in a significant noise effect. In more distant areas developed or planned for development in residential uses, noise levels with the project would not exceed 61.3 dB Ldn, which is well below the City’s transportation noise standard for residential uses.

Project impacts on noise-sensitive land uses would be less than significant. b) Exposure to Groundborne Noise.

Groundborne vibration is not a common environmental problem. It is typically associated with transportation facilities, although it is unusual for vibration from sources such as buses and trucks to be perceptible, even in locations close to major roads. Some common sources of groundborne vibration are trains, buses on rough roads, and construction activities such as blasting, pile driving, and operating heavy earth-moving equipment.

The project site is approximately 100 feet from the nearest SR 99 through lane; however, the project would not be sensitive to potential vibration impact. Truck traffic associated with the project would largely travel to and from SR 99. This traffic would be on roads constructed to the City commercial standards and designed to accommodate truck traffic, thereby minimizing potential vibrations. It is anticipated that the project would not be exposed to groundborne vibrations nor would it generate substantial groundborne vibrations. As noted, there are no sensitive land uses in the immediate vicinity of the project site, so no such uses would be affected by vibrations. Groundborne vibration impacts would be less than significant.
c) Public Airport and Private Airstrip Noise.

As noted in Section 3.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, there are no public airports or private airstrips in the project vicinity. The project would not be exposed to or have any impact related to noise from airports and airstrips.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
As of January 1, 2020, the population of Livingston was estimated at 15,052, an increase from its 2010 population of 13,508. The number of housing units in Livingston on the same date was 3,690 – an increase from 3,220 in 2010. Of the total housing units in 2020, 3,113 were single-family detached units (typical houses), approximately 84.3% of the total.

Approximately 8.5% of the total housing units were multifamily units of five or more per building. The total number of such units was 312, an increase from 263 in 2010 (California Department of Finance 2020).

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Population Growth Inducement.

The project would involve commercial development on the 18.9-acre site. While the commercial development would provide new employment opportunities in Livingston, these opportunities would be limited in number and can be expected to be met from the existing population in the Livingston area.

The project would primarily serve SR 99 travelers; the project is not expected to result in any substantial attraction to other new development. As a result, the proposed project is not expected to induce population growth, directly or indirectly, in or near Livingston.

The project site would be served by existing or planned City infrastructure in the vicinity.

No substantial extension of new infrastructure that could serve or induce other development would occur in conjunction with or as a result of the project. Overall, project impacts on population growth are considered less than significant. v

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-44 December 2020 b) Displacement of Housing or People.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Fire Protection
Fire protection, rescue, and emergency medical response service are provided to the citizens of the City of Livingston by the Livingston Fire Department. Livingston Fire Department is managed through a contractual agreement with Merced County. The agreement consists of staffing for one Cal Fire full time position 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 15 volunteer members in the City (Merced County LAFCo 2018). The County Fire Department maintains Station 96 on 1430 C Street in downtown Livingston, which has one Type 2 fire engine, and one Type 1 water tender (Merced County Fire Department 2019). In 2016, Livingston maintained a ratio of slightly greater than one volunteer per 1,000 residents (Merced County LAFCo 2018).

Over the last few years, emergency calls have been steadily increasing. In 2016, the Fire Department responded to 1,581 calls for services. In 2015, the Fire Department responded to 1,468 calls for services. In 2014, the Fire Department responded to 1,214 calls for services. Emergency calls in 2016 rose approximately 10 percent and are projected to grow in the upcoming years. Medical emergencies make up approximately 54 percent of the call v

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-45 December 2020 volume. To accommodate new growth or annexations, the City has concluded that construction of additional fire stations may be required (Merced County LAFCo 2018).

Police Protection
Police protection services are provided by the Livingston Police Department. It is the largest General Fund department in the City, about 57 percent of the FY 2016/17 General Fund expenditure budget. The Police Department employed 20 full-time sworn and professional staff personnel as of February 2018, with one additional position anticipated to be filled. In 2005, the City adopted a policy to maintain a ratio of 1.5 officers per 1,000 residents (Merced County LAFCo 2018).

In 2012, the City of Livingston entered into an agreement to provide dispatch services to the City of Gustine. The service required City staff to answer 9-1-1 calls and business lines after hours. In addition to providing services to the City of Gustine, over the last decade there have been two developments in the south portion of the City and other recent commercial developments that have impacted the need for services (Merced County LAFCo 2018).

The Police Department operates from its station at 1446 C Street. The City has not updated or expanded the police facility, but there is a plan to add a second story to the facility. The funding source would need to be identified. While the City has identified department needs for the next six years, there is no updated master plan or adopted capital improvement plan (Merced County LAFCo 2018).

Schools
Elementary and middle school services (kindergarten to 8th grade) are provided by the Livingston Union School District (LUSD). As of the 2018-19 school year, total enrollment in the LUSD was 2,464 students (EdData 2020). Livingston Middle School, the only middle school in the LUSD, is located at 101 F Street approximately 1.2 miles northwest of the project site. The school had an enrollment of 830 students as of the 2018-19 school year. The closest LUSD elementary school is Campus Park Elementary School, located at 1845 H Street approximately 0.5 miles northeast from the site. Enrollment at this school during the 2018-19 school year was 454 students (EdData 2020).

High school services are provided by the Merced Union High School District (MUHSD).

Livingston High School, part of the MUHSD and the only public high school in the City, is located on 1617 Main Street, south of the project site. During the 2018-19 school year, enrollment at Livingston High School was 1,243 students (EdData 2020).

Other Public Services
The Livingston Recreation Department manages parks and recreation programs in the City.

Section 3.16, Recreation, discusses parks and recreational facilities in more detail. Other public facilities include the Livingston branch of the Merced County Library, located on 1212 Main Street.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-46 December 2020 Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Fire Protection.

As noted, to accommodate new growth or annexations, the City has identified a possible need for the construction of additional fire stations. Station 96 is in a developed area with existing utility infrastructure. Because of the existing development, available area for expansion may be limited and may require removal of structures and/or pavement, which may involve potential environmental impacts. Another option would be the construction of a new fire station at another site. The City is in the process of identifying a location for a new fire station (Merced County LAFCo 2018). Both options would be subject to CEQA review for potential environmental impacts, if required. Neither option would necessarily be triggered by proposed project development, but the project would place additional demands on fire protection service.

Buildings constructed as part of the project would be required to comply with the provisions of the 2019 California Fire Code, recently adopted by the City. The Fire Code contain provisions designed to improve fire safety in structures, including installation of sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and portable fire extinguishers, along with requirements for hydrants and fire flows. The City has adopted additional provisions related to fire safety in its Fire Prevention Code (Livingston Municipal Code Title 7, Chapter 2). Compliance with these requirements would minimize the risk of fires occurring in new development proposed by the project.

The project also would be subject to the City’s adopted Building and Electrical Codes with their applicable provisions related to fire safety, including the installation of smoke detectors and sprinkler systems. Entryways would be constructed to City standards, which consider emergency vehicle accessibility.

While new facilities are not required as a result of the project, future development is required by ordinance to pay Public Facility Fees to the City for future construction of Fire Department facilities that may be required elsewhere in the City. For retail development, the City charges $0.28 per square foot in fire protection fees. Compliance with the applicable codes and City standards, along with payment of mitigation fees, would reduce project impacts on fire protection services to a level that would be less than significant. b) Police Protection.

The project would generate a demand for police protection services. The General Plan EIR did not identify any significant impacts of future development under the General Plan on police protection services (City of Livingston 1999b). As discussed in Chapter 12.0, Land Use and Population, the project is not expected to affect the City’s population in a manner unplanned by the City. Because of this, the project is not expected to affect the officer/population ratio such that new officers would need to be hired. As noted, the Livingston Police Department has plans to add a second story to its existing facility, which would accommodate additional personnel as needed. The Police Chief has indicated that the project would not require this or other improvements to provide service (Chris Soria, pers. comm.).

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-47 December 2020 Future development is required by ordinance to pay mitigation fees to the City for future construction of Police Department facilities that may be required. For retail development, the City charges $0.84 per square foot in police protection fees. With payment of mitigation fees, project impacts related to police protection services would be less than significant. c) Schools.

The project involves commercial development that would generate employment opportunities. Some employees may move to Livingston with their families, thereby placing some increment of demand on LUSD and MUHSD schools. The number of new students that would enroll in Livingston schools as a result of the project is expected to be minor, if any. New project employees would consist of residents of the City and vicinity (see Section 3.14, Population and Housing).

California Education Code Section 17620 authorizes school districts to levy a fee on residential and commercial/industrial development projects for the purpose of funding the construction or modernization of school facilities. The basis of developer fees is the relationship between new development and the impact on school districts to provide adequate school facilities for the student population that new development generates. Both LUSD and MUHSD impose developer fees for commercial development that would apply to the project. According to California Government Code Section 65995(h), the payment of developer fees is deemed full and complete mitigation of the impacts of a development project on schools. Because of this and the minimal number of students the project would generate, project impacts on school services would be less than significant. d, e) Parks and Other Public Facilities.

As discussed in Section 3.14, Population and Housing, the population increase resulting from the project is not expected to be significant. Therefore, additional demands on parks and other public facilities such as libraries are expected to be incremental, and no new or expanded public facilities would be required. The City charges mitigation fees for municipal facilities. For commercial development, this fee is $0.75 per square foot of building floor area. With payment of mitigation fees, project impacts would be less than significant.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
As discussed in Section 3.15, Public Services, the Livingston Recreation Department manages parks and recreation programs in the City. The City has six parks and recreational facilities. Amenities available at these facilities include picnic areas, barbeques, playgrounds, baseball and soccer fields, a volleyball area, and a stage. The nearest City park to the project site is Livingston Memorial Park on Main Street.

Outside the City, McConnell State Recreation Area is on the Merced River approximately

2.5 miles north of the project site. This facility offers picnic and camping areas. Yosemite National Park is approximately 72 miles east-northeast of the project site.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures

As discussed in Section 3.14, Population and Housing, the population increase resulting from the project is not expected to be significant. The proposed commercial development would not generate any population increase or a demand for new or expanded parks or recreational facilities or services. Project impacts on recreational facilities are considered less than significant.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Information for this section primarily comes from a traffic study conducted for the project by KD Anderson and Associates, which shown in Appendix D of this document.

Streets and Intersections
The roadway network serving the project site consists of the State Route (SR) 99 freeway, Hammatt Avenue, which forms an interchange with SR 99 at the project site, and Campbell Boulevard. The project site is adjacent to all three roadways. • SR 99 is the primary north-south transportation corridor through Merced County.

Near the project site, it has a west-northwest to east-southeast alignment. SR 99 is a controlled access freeway with a six-lane width southeast of Hammatt Avenue and a four-lane width northwest of Hammatt Avenue. Project access to SR 99 is primarily provided via the Hammatt Avenue interchange, which is immediately adjacent to the site. The most recent traffic count data available from Caltrans (2017) indicate that SR 99 carries an average annual daily traffic (AADT) volume of 60,000 to 62,000 vehicles per day and peak hour volume of 5,500 to 5,800 in the vicinity of the project site. Trucks comprise 24% of the daily traffic volume on SR

99. • Hammatt Avenue is designated an arterial street in the Circulation Element of the Livingston General Plan Livingston. Near the project site, Hammatt Avenue is a north-south, two-lane roadway, although the Circulation Element of the Livingston General Plan notes that a five-lane section is planned in the future. Hammatt Avenue begins at an intersection on Peach Avenue and continues north across SR 99 to its northern terminus at Olive Avenue at the northern City limits. The Hammatt Avenue interchange is one of two interchanges providing the Livingston area with access to SR 99. North of F Street in the vicinity of the interchange with SR 99, the adjacent land uses include existing, approved, and proposed nonresidential uses. Traffic count data collected in 2019 indicated a daily traffic volume on Hammatt Avenue south of SR 99 of 9,222 vehicles per day. The daily volume north of SR 99 is estimated to be 10,800 vehicles per day, based on the peak hour traffic counts collected for this analysis.
• Campbell Boulevard is also designated an arterial street in the Circulation Element of the Livingston General Plan. Campbell Boulevard lies parallel to and north of SR 99 and extends from the SR 99/Winton Parkway interchange across Hammatt Avenue into Merced County and the SR 99/Sultana Drive – Liberty Avenue interchange. Near the project site, Campbell Boulevard is a two-lane roadway. In the area east of Hammatt Avenue, adjacent land uses are primarily light industrial.

The daily traffic volume on Campbell Boulevard east of Hammatt Avenue is estimated to be 1,800 vehicles per day.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-50 December 2020 Other streets and road potentially affected by the project include:
• F Street is an east-west street that traverses Livingston south of SR 99. F Street originates at the Flint Avenue/Robin Avenue intersection and continues easterly across Hammatt Avenue to Dwight Way. This two-lane roadway is designated a Collector in the Circulation Element. The land uses along F Street west of Hammatt Avenue are primarily residential, while agricultural and commercial uses exist in the east. Based on the peak hour volume collected for the study the daily traffic volume west of Hammatt Avenue is estimated to be 3,850 vehicles per day. • Industrial Drive is a local street that provides access to the commercial area east of Hammatt Avenue and north of Campbell Boulevard. This two-lane street intersects Campbell Boulevard about 500 feet east of the Hammatt Avenue intersection and extends northerly for 1,100 feet to Walnut Avenue. The land uses along Industrial Drive are light-industrial/warehousing.

The SR 99/Hammatt Avenue interchange is a diamond configuration with roughly 550 feet between ramp intersections. Under Caltrans convention, SR 99 is a north-south freeway, and the ramps are thus designated “northbound” (NB) and “southbound” (SB) even though the alignment of the freeway through Livingston is east to west. Campbell Boulevard intersects Hammatt Avenue about 430 feet from the SR 99 NB ramps intersection, and the F Street intersection is about 725 feet from the SR 99 SB ramps. The SR 99 off-ramps terminate at all-way stop controlled intersections. The SB off-ramp is 1,330 feet long, and the NB off-ramp is 1,240 feet long. The on-ramp areas are of similar length. Both the NB on-ramp and SB on-ramp are about 1,350 feet long and are followed by a 250-foot-long auxiliary lane. Caltrans publishes daily traffic volume information for freeway ramps, and the most recent data is summarized in Table 1 of the traffic study.

Table 3-6 indicates existing traffic flow conditions at four stop sign-controlled intersections analyzed in the traffic study. Traffic conditions are measured in average time of delay and Level of Service (LOS) at each of the intersections during the morning peak hour and the evening peak hour of traffic. LOS “grades” traffic conditions from A to F, with A representing the best traffic conditions (no delay at the intersection). The City of Livingston considers LOS C as the minimally acceptable LOS for intersections. As indicated in Table 3-6, two of the study intersections operate at an acceptable LOS during both the morning and evening peak hours. Although the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection at the eastbound approach operates overall at an acceptable level with minimum delay, the westbound approach operates at an unacceptable LOS during both peak hours. The Hammatt Avenue/SR 99 NB ramps intersection also operates at an unacceptable LOS during both peak hours.

The traffic study also evaluated the LOS at the ramp junctions at the SR 99/Hammatt Avenue interchange. Freeway ramp junction LOS is predicated on the hourly mainline traffic volume as well as the volume of traffic on specific ramps. Table 3-7 identifies current LOS at these freeway ramp junctions. As shown, all operate at LOS D or better during the morning and evening peak hour. Unlike City intersections, Caltrans considers LOS D an acceptable LOS for ramp junctions.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-52 December 2020 As noted, two of the four study intersections currently operate with LOS that exceed the City’s LOS C minimum. However, peak hour traffic signal warrants are notsatisfied during more than one time period, and the length of existing peak period queues does not exceed the available storage length or extend back into adjoining intersections. Adequate LOS are delivered at freeway ramp junctions; therefore, no capacity improvements are needed for these facilities at this time. However, the City is currently working to design and construct intersection improvements to the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection, and that work would include a traffic signal.

SB 743
The State of California has recently added Section 15064.3 to the CEQA Guidelines, which incorporates the requirements of SB 743 into CEQA analysis. SB 743, enacted in 2013, seeks to balance traffic impacts and mitigation with statewide GHG emission reduction goals, by eliminating street and intersection capacity as the principal means for evaluating transportation impacts.

Section 15064.3 states that vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is the preferred method for evaluating transportation impacts, rather than the commonly used LOS. While a quantitative analysis of VMT is preferred, a qualitative analysis may be used if existing models or methods are not available to estimate VMT for the project being considered. The Governor’s Office of Planning and Research has issued a Technical Advisory on evaluating transportation impacts using VMT. The Technical Advisory states that residential, office, and retail projects tend to have the greatest influence on VMT (OPR 2018).

The following impact analysis conforms to this guidance by analyzing project VMT.

Capacity-related concerns are nonetheless addressed, not as potentially significant effects on the environment but rather as to consistency with City LOS standards.

Alternative Transportation Modes
Public Transportation
Public transportation services in Livingston are provided by The Bus, overseen by the Transit Joint Powers Authority for Merced County and managed through MCAG. The Bus operates the Livingston Commuter route (L Line) that connects Livingston with Merced via Winton and Atwater. The L Line operates along Walnut Avenue with a stop at the Franci Street intersection approximately one-half mile north of the project site. The Turlock Commuter route (T Line), between Merced and Turlock in Stanislaus County, provides service in the project vicinity along Hammatt Avenue to the Walnut Avenue/Franci Street stop.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
The Circulation Element of the City General Plan includes a Bikeways Plan that designates a bikeway along Campbell Boulevard from Hammatt Avenue to Winton Parkway. The City of Livingston also adopted a Bicycle Plan in November 2005, which designates a bikeway along Hammatt Avenue from Walnut Avenue to Peach Avenue. The City of Livingston currently has no designated bicycle facilities near the project site.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-53 December 2020 There is existing sidewalk along the west side of Hammatt Avenue from Walnut Avenue to F Street. The east side of Hammatt Avenue has partial sidewalk from Walnut Avenue to Campbell Boulevard. There is also existing sidewalk along the north side of Campbell Boulevard from East Avenue to Hammatt Avenue. There are no other sidewalk in the vicinity of the project site.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Conflict with Applicable Plans, Ordinances and Policies.

Motor Vehicle Transportation Plans
The traffic study evaluated projected traffic operations at the study intersections with the addition of the project under Existing Plus Project-Phase 1 and Existing Plus ProjectBuildout conditions. Operations under both conditions are described below.

Existing Plus Project-Phase 1
Table 3-8 shows estimated traffic operations under Existing Plus Project-Phase 1 conditions, with a more detailed analysis shown in the traffic study in Appendix D. As shown in Table 3-8, the Hammatt Avenue/F Street intersection operates at an acceptable LOS during both the morning and evening peak hours. Although the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection at the eastbound approach operates overall at an acceptable LOS, the westbound approach operates at an unacceptable LOS during both peak hours. The Hammatt Avenue/SR 99 NB ramps intersection also operates at an unacceptable LOS during both peak hours. The Hammatt Avenue/SR 99 SB ramps intersection operates at an acceptable LOS during the evening peak hour but at an unacceptable LOS during the morning peak hour.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-54 December 2020 With Phase 1, the addition of project-generated automobile and truck traffic onto the adjacent street system would result in two intersections operating with delays that are indicative of LOS F, and one intersection operating at LOS D. Peak hour traffic signal warrants will be satisfied both time periods at the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection and during one time period at the two SR 99 ramp intersections. This is an important traffic impact but not a significant effect under CEQA as discussed above.

Provisions for transportation system improvements presented below would ensure that traffic conditions would operate to City standards at the deficient intersections, reducing impacts to an acceptable level consistent with the Livingston General Plan as shown in the traffic study.

Transportation Improvement Measures:

TRANS-1: The project applicant or successors in interest shall be required to pay fair-share costs of a traffic signal at the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection.

TRANS-2: The project applicant or successors in interest shall be required to pay fair-share costs of traffic signals or roundabouts at the Hammatt Avenue intersections with the SR 99 northbound ramps and the SR 99 southbound ramps. The project applicant or successors in interest shall be required to pay fair-share costs of preparing a preliminary Intersection Control Evaluation report to provide a screening assessment of the feasibility of a roundabout or traffic signal at the SR 99 ramps intersections.

Existing Plus Project-Buildout
Table 3-9 shows estimated traffic operations under Existing Plus Project-Buildout conditions, with a more detailed analysis shown in the traffic study in Appendix D. As shown in Table 3-9, the resulting LOS at the intersections are similar to those under Phase 1 conditions. The most notable differences are that the Hammatt Avenue/SR 99 SB ramps intersection operates at an unacceptable LOS during both the morning and the evening peak hours, and that the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection at the eastbound approach operates at an unacceptable LOS during the morning peak hour.

With buildout, the addition of project-generated automobile and truck traffic onto the adjacent street system would result in two intersections operating with delays that are indicative of LOS F, and one intersection operating at LOS E. Peak hour traffic signal warrants will be satisfied both time periods at the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection and during one time period at the two SR 99 ramp intersections. This is an important traffic impact, but not a significant effect under CEQA as discussed above. In addition to the transportation improvements that address Phase 1 conditions, the additional requirements presented below would ensure that traffic conditions at these intersections would operate at a level consistent with City standards, thereby reducing impacts to an acceptable level, consistent with the Livingston General Plan.

Transportation Improvement Measures:

TRANS-3: The project applicant or successors in interest shall be required to pay fair-share costs of the addition of an eastbound right-turn lane, approximately 200 feet in length, on Campbell Boulevard with right turn overlap phases on the northbound-to-eastbound and eastboundto-southbound movements.

Ramp Junctions
Table 3-10 identifies Existing Plus Project-Buildout LOS and peak hour volumes on the ramps at the SR 99/Hammatt Avenue interchange. As shown, with one exception, all ramps would operate at LOS C or D during the morning and evening peak hours, meeting or exceeding the Caltrans minimum LOS standard. The exception is the SB off ramp, which is projected to operate at LOS E in the evening peak hour. While LOS E exceeds the minimum standard, the 2018 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) indicates that SR 99 is expected to be widened to six lanes in the near Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-56 December 2020 future (MCAG 2018). With this improvement, this ramp diverge will satisfy the minimum LOS D goal. Because conditions at this location at buildout are barely LOS E, conditions with Phase 1 would remain at LOS D at this off ramp. All other ramp junctions would at least meet Caltrans minimum LOS standards under Phase 1 conditions. No improvements would be required.

Non-vehicular Transportation Plans
The project would have no impact on the future development of bikeways in the project vicinity, as described in the Circulation Element of the City’s General Plan and the City’s Bicycle Plan. Phase 1 development may result in pedestrians wishing to walk between the site and the remainder of Livingston. Since no pedestrian facilities currently exist from the project site to the City, the lack of such facilities is a potentially significant impact.

Mitigation presented below would provide a safe route along Campbell Boulevard and a safe crossing on Hammatt Avenue. Implementation of this mitigation measure would reduce impacts related to pedestrian movement to a level that would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures:

TRANS-4: The project applicant or successors in interest shall install frontage improvements along Campbell Boulevard, including sidewalks, during Phase 1 development of the project site (see Mitigation Measure TRANS-1). Standard pedestrian crossing controls and ADAaccessible ramps shall be included in the proposed signalization of the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection, and the project shall contribute its fair share to the cost of those features.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-57 December 2020 b) Conflict with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b).

As noted, Section 15064.3 states that VMT is the preferred method for evaluating transportation impacts, rather than the commonly used LOS. The VMT metric measures the total miles traveled by vehicles as a result of a given project. VMT accounts for the total environmental impact of transportation associated with a project, including use of non-vehicle travel modes. Section 15064.3(b) sets forth the criteria for analyzing transportation impacts using the preferred VMT metric:
• VMT exceeding an applicable threshold of significance may indicate a significant impact. The City of Livingston currently does not have traffic impact standards based on VMT.
• Generally, projects within one-half mile of either an existing major transit stop or a stop along an existing “high-quality transit corridor” should be presumed to cause a less-than-significant transportation impact. There are no such stops or corridors near the project site
• Projects that decrease VMT in the project area compared to existing conditions should be presumed to cause a less-than-significant transportation impact.

The project is a truck stop, which has retail components in the convenience store and the quick-serve restaurants. However, the primary purpose of the project is to provide service to commercial trucks, including fueling and repair services. Also, all services provided by the project are primarily oriented to vehicles traveling on SR 99. Most vehicle trips associated with the project would be diverted from SR 99. The project would have a more limited orientation to City residents, with local trips mainly generated by truck stop employees or by residents patronizing the quick-serve restaurants.

As noted in Section 3.11, Land Use, the project is consistent with the Livingston General Plan and with existing zoning. The project also would not conflict with the preferred scenario described in the 2018 RTP/SCS prepared by MCAG, which focuses on infill residential development in downtown cores near jobs and services and limits development in new growth areas by adding no new unincorporated communities (MCAG 2018). Given all this, project impacts related to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b) are considered less than significant.
c) Traffic Hazards.

The project would involve development of private property adjacent to Campbell Boulevard and Hammatt Avenue. Access to the site and frontage improvements will be designed and constructed in accordance with adopted City standards and subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. As noted, mitigation measures would require the project to contribute fair-share costs to facilities that would increase the safety of traffic movement.

The traffic study evaluated potential traffic queuing under Phase 1 and buildout conditions.

Queue lengths that exceed available storage in turn lanes or reach adjoining intersections could create an appreciable safety issue. An analysis of potential queue lengths typically is Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-58 December 2020 based on the “95th Percentile Queue,” which is the queue length (in vehicles) that has only a 5-percent probability of being exceeded during the analysis time period. It is a useful parameter for determining the appropriate length of turn pockets. The traffic study concluded that existing 95th percentile queues can be accommodated by the existing street system. However, at project buildout, the queue of southbound traffic extending back from the Hammatt Avenue/SR 99 NB ramps intersection would reach the Campbell Boulevard intersection in both the morning and evening peak hours. This would be a safety issue and therefore a potentially significant impact. The improvements needed to address LOS, as noted earlier in this section, would also deal with this issue. No additional transportation improvement measures would be required.

Turning requirements are important with regards to legal truck circulation. The project would attract full-size trucks already permitted on SR 99 (i.e., STAA) turning into and out of the site via the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection and at the SR 99 ramps intersections. Review of the current layout of each intersection indicates that STAA vehicles can travel legally from the SR 99 interchange to the project site. However, this will need to be confirmed as improvement plans are developed, and the City may need to make a formal application for STAA designation on the affected portions of Hammatt Avenue and Campbell Boulevard. Mitigation described below would ensure that STAA trucks can be accommodated by the project, thereby reducing potential safety impacts to a level that would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures:

TRANS-5: Improvements to the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection shall be designed to accommodate STAA trucks, and the project shall contribute its fair share to the cost of those features.

Project access shall be designed to accommodate STAA trucks. Phase 1 shall contribute its fair share to the cost of a Caltrans STAA route designation application to be completed by the City and shall contribute its fair share to the cost of improvements needed to accommodate STAA trucks.
d) Emergency Access.

Access to the project site would be provided off Campbell Boulevard by several driveways, thereby providing adequate access for emergency vehicles. Project impacts on emergency vehicle access would be less than significant.

3.18 TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES
Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is:

significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
As noted in Section 3.5, Cultural Resources, the City of Livingston lies within the historic territory of the Yokuts, which ranged from the Tehachapi Mountains to modern-day Stockton in the San Joaquin Valley. Settlements were oriented towards water resources, with major villages situated near waterways that provided reliable water supplies and substantial food sources. A Yokut village was reported to have 200 to 300 people.

Economic subsistence was based on acorns, along with gathering and processing of wild seeds and other vegetable foods. Rivers and streams provided fish, shellfish, and turtles, and game, wildfowl and small mammals were trapped to augment the diet. Trade with other tribes was well developed, as the Yokuts obtained resources not otherwise available in their territory, such as obsidian and shell beads. Diseases introduced by Europeans took their toll on the Yokuts and other tribes, as up to three-quarters of the population in the San Joaquin Valley died from malaria alone.

In 2014, the California Legislature enacted Assembly Bill (AB) 52, which focuses on consultation with Native American tribes on land use issues potentially affecting the tribes.

The intent of this consultation is to avoid or mitigate potential impacts on “tribal cultural resources,” which are defined as “sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe.” Under AB 52, when a tribe requests consultation with a CEQA lead agency on projects within its traditionally and culturally affiliated geographical area, the lead agency must provide the tribe with notice of a proposed project within 14 days of a project application being deemed complete v
v
Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-60 December 2020 or when the lead agency decides to undertake the project, if it is the agency’s own project.

The tribe has up to 30 days to respond to the notice and request consultation; if consultation is requested, then the local agency has up to 30 days to initiate consultation.

The Native American Heritage Commission conducted a search of its Sacred Lands file.

Appendix C contains the search results, which indicated that no Sacred Lands have been recorded on the project site. The City of Livingston has not been identified as an area of interest by any tribe for consultation, including the Yokuts (Hatch, electronic mail, November 13, 2019). Since no tribe has requested to be consulted by the City on projects, AB 52 consultation will not occur.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a, b) Tribal Cultural Resources.

As noted in Section 3.5, Cultural Resources, no archaeological resources have been recorded on or near the project site. Project construction could potentially uncover previously unknown archaeological resources, including those of Native American origin.

Mitigation Measure CULT-1 would require construction work to stop at an uncovered resource site under an archaeologist can evaluate the resource and give recommendations for its disposition. Mitigation Measure CULT-2 sets procedures for the treatment of any Native American remains that may be uncovered during project construction.

Implementation of these mitigation measures would reduce potential impacts on tribal cultural resources to a level that would be less than significant.

Level of Significance: Potentially significant
Mitigation Measures: Implementation of Mitigation Measures CULT-1 and CULT-2 Significance After Mitigation: Less than significant

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-61 December 2020 capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments?
d) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals?
e) Comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste?

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Wastewater
The City of Livingston collects and treats wastewater generated by City residents and businesses. The City’s wastewater collection system consists of 29 miles of sewer lines ranging in diameter from 6 to 27 inches (Merced County LAFCo 2018). There is a 12-inch diameter sewer line and a 10-inch diameter sewer line that extend beneath Campbell Boulevard along the project site frontage.

The collected wastewater is conveyed to the Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant, located on Vinewood Avenue and Washington Boulevard northwest of Livingston. The average wastewater flow into the treatment plant is 1.06 million gallons per day (mgd).

The Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant currently has adequate capacity to treat an average wastewater flow of 2.0 mgd (City of Livingston 2016).

Potable Water
The City provides potable water to City residents and businesses. As noted in Section 3.10, Hydrology and Water Quality, the City obtains its water from local aquifers through eight wells. Until recently, the City wells had individual production capacities ranging from 970 to 1,140 gallons per minute. As of 2008, City wells had a supply capacity of approximately

10.8 mgd. In 2005, the City produced approximately 5.8 mgd of water. The City recently added a new groundwater well to its system, Well No. 17; the well’s production capacity adds approximately 2.9 mgd to the City’s water production capacity.

The City’s water system includes a storage tank with a capacity of one million gallons and more than 36 miles of pressurized water lines ranging in diameter from 2 to 16 inches. A water line 12 inches in diameter is located within adjacent Hammatt Avenue (Martinez, pers. comm.). Another water line extends along Campbell Boulevard from Hammatt Avenue to the intersection with Industrial Drive.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-62 December 2020 Storm Drainage
Storm drainage generated in the developed areas of the City is collected by a municipal system composed of underground storm drains, detention and percolation basins, and Merced Irrigation District canals and laterals via pump stations. A storm drainage line of 18 inches diameter extends beneath Campbell Boulevard and terminates into an existing detention facility adjacent to Hammatt Avenue (City of Livingston 2007). As noted in Section 3.10, Hydrology and Water Quality, the City has an adopted SWMP, developed in compliance with the federal NPDES program and with the SWRCB’s MS4 General Permit.

The SWMP requires preparation of a construction SWPPP and incorporation of postconstruction BMPs into the project to protect water quality.

Solid Waste
Solid waste is collected in Livingston by Gilton Solid Waste Management, Inc., under contract with the City. On average, approximately 1,097 tons of solid waste is collected in Livingston per month. The collected solid waste is transported to one of two landfills in Merced County. The Billy Wright Landfill, approximately one mile west of Interstate 5 near Los Banos, has a maximum permitted disposal capacity of 14,800,000 cubic yards.

As of September 30, 2010, this landfill had a remaining capacity of 11,370,000 cubic yards (CalRecycle 2018a). The Highway 59 Landfill, along SR 59 approximately six miles north of Merced, has a maximum permitted disposal capacity of 30,012,352 cubic yards. As of September 1, 2005 – the latest date for which information was available – this landfill had a remaining capacity of 28,025,334 cubic yards (CalRecycle 2018b).

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Relocation or Construction of Utility Facilities.

The project would connect to existing sewer lines in Campbell Boulevard adjacent to the site. No new or extended sewer mains would need to be installed. As noted above, an existing water line is also available for connection along Campbell Boulevard. The project can connect to the City’s water system without extension of water lines.

Storm drainage would be collected by an on-site drainage system that would be sent to a new detention basin to be constructed at the southeastern end of the project site. The detention basin would be designed and constructed in accordance with City specifications.

Overall, utility facility impacts would be less than significant. b) Water Supplies.

The project would place additional demand on the City’s water distribution system. Based on average usage of 2,675 gallons per day per acre for non-residential areas, the water demand of the project at full buildout would be approximately 6,206 gallons per day, or

2.27 mgd (City of Livingston 1992b). This figure is likely an overestimate, as the City’s Water Distribution System Master Plan combined commercial and industrial uses for its non-residential average usage figure. As indicated above, the City’s water system had approximately 10.8 mgd of available water supply in 2008, and the available potable water capacity was recently increased by approximately 2.9 mgd with the addition of Well 17.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-63 December 2020 The City would have adequate capacity to accommodate the water demands of the project without requiring additional water supplies. Project impacts on water supplies would be less than significant.
c) Wastewater Treatment Capacity.

The project would place additional demand on the City’s wastewater collection and treatment system. Based on an average flow of 4,000 gallons per day per acre for industrial users, the amount of wastewater that would be generated by the project would be approximately 9,280 gallons per day (City of Livingston 1992a). Again, this figure is likely an overestimate; the City’s Sewer Collection System Master Plan did not estimate average flow for commercial uses, which are generally lower than for industrial uses. As indicated above, the Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant currently has available capacity of 2.0 mgd on average. The City’s wastewater treatment system would have adequate capacity to accommodate wastewater generated by the project without requiring additional capacity.

Project impacts on wastewater treatment capacity would be less than significant. d) Solid Waste Services.

As noted above, the City generates 1,097 tons of solid waste per month. Project development would add incrementally to this total. As indicated above, the two landfills that accept the City’s solid waste have available capacity to accommodate the additional waste. AB 341 requires businesses that produce four or more cubic yards of waste per week to recycle, reuse and/or divert some of their waste from waste. Also, AB 1826 requires businesses that generate at least eight cubic yards of waste per week to arrange for organic waste service. It is expected that the project would comply with these requirements should the waste it generates meets these criteria, thereby reducing the need for additional landfill capacity. Impacts on solid waste services are considered less than significant. e) Compliance with Solid Waste Regulations.

As noted, the project is expected to comply with AB 341 and AB 1826 requirements should the waste it generates meet the criteria specified in these bills. The project is expected to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local solid waste regulations. The project would have no impact related to compliance with solid waste regulations.

d) Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes?

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
As noted in Section 3.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, wildland fires are an annual hazard in Merced County, including the Livingston vicinity. Wildland fires burn natural vegetation on undeveloped lands and include rangeland, brush, and grass fires.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s Fire and Resource Assessment Program identifies fire threat based on a combination of two factors: 1) fire frequency, or the likelihood of a given area burning, and 2) potential fire behavior (hazard). These two factors are combined in determining the following Fire Hazard Severity Zones: Moderate, High, Very High, Extreme. These zones apply to designated State Responsibility Areas – areas in which the State has primary firefighting responsibility. The project site is not within a State Responsibility Area and therefore has not been placed in a Fire Hazard Severity Zone for such areas (Cal Fire 2007a). Both the project site and surrounding area are in a Local Responsibility Area, and neither are in any designated fire hazard severity zones (Cal Fire 2007b).

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Emergency Response Plans and Emergency Evacuation Plans.

As discussed in Section 3.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, project construction work would mostly occur on the project site, with work on adjacent roads limited to connection to utility lines. Such work is not expected to require closure of the roads, so neither project construction nor operation is expected to obstruct emergency vehicle operations or evacuations that may occur in the area. Project impacts on emergency response or emergency evacuation plans would be less than significant. b) Exposure of Project Occupants to Wildfire Hazards.

The project site is not part of a State Responsibility Area, and Cal Fire maps indicate the site is not designated within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone or a zone of higher severity for either state or local responsibility areas. The project site is in an area consisting of a mix of developed and agricultural land. Neither of these lands is prone to wildfires.

The project would reduce the existing fire hazard on the project site by replacing existing grasses and weeds with development and landscaping. The project would have no impact related to exposure of project occupants to wildfire hazards. v
v
Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-65 December 2020 c) Installation and Maintenance of Infrastructure.

The project proposes the installation of roads and parking areas and the extension of utilities. The installation of these facilities is not expected to exacerbate the wildfire risk on the project site, which is minimal as explained in b) above. The project would have no impact related to exacerbation of wildfire hazards by infrastructure improvements. d) Risks from Runoff, Post-Fire Slope Instability, or Drainage Changes.

The project site is in a topographically flat area. There are no streams or other channels that cross the site. As such, it is not expected that people or structures would be exposed to significant risks from changes resulting from fires in steeper areas, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides. The project would have no impact related to risks from runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes.

considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?
c) Does the project have environmental effects which would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
a) Findings on Biological and Cultural Resources.

The project’s potential biological and cultural resource impacts were described in Sections

3.4 and 3.5, respectively. No potentially significant environmental effects were identified for biological resources. Potentially significant effects were identified for cultural v
v
v
Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-66 December 2020 resources, but none that would not be reduced to a level that would be less than significant with mitigation.
b) Findings on Individually Limited but Cumulatively Considerable Impacts.

As described in this Initial Study, the potential environmental effects of the project would either be less than significant, or the project would have no impact at all, when compared to the baseline. Where the project involves potentially significant effects, these effects would be reduced to a level that is less than significant with proposed mitigation measures and compliance with required permits and applicable regulations.

The potential cumulative impacts of urban development of the site were accounted for in the Livingston General Plan EIR (1999b). The potential environmental effects identified in this Initial Study have been considered in conjunction with each other as to their potential to generate other potentially significant effects. The various potential environmental effects of the project would not combine to generate any potentially significant cumulative effects.

There are no other known, similar projects with which the project might combine to produce adverse cumulative impacts.

The traffic study analyzed traffic operations associated with the project under cumulative conditions. Cumulative traffic volume forecasts were prepared based on a list of approved projects identified in consultation with City staff and representing development projects likely to add traffic in the study area (see Table 15 of traffic study in Appendix D). It was assumed that no future improvements to the SR 99/Hammatt Avenue interchange and the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection are made, to provide a more conservative analysis. Table 3-11 shows cumulative traffic flow conditions at the intersections analyzed in the traffic study. As indicated in Table 3-11, none of the intersections operate at an acceptable LOS during morning and evening peak hours.

With Phase 1, the addition of project-generated automobile and truck traffic onto the adjacent street system with background cumulative traffic would exacerbate conditions at all four intersections. This is an important traffic impact but not a significant effect under CEQA as discussed above. In addition to the transportation improvements described in Section 3.17, Transportation, improvements presented below would ensure that cumulative traffic conditions are consistent with City standards at the deficient intersections.

Mitigation Measures:

CUMUL-1: The project applicant or successors in interest shall be required to pay fair-share costs of improvements at the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection as described in Mitigation Measures TRANS1 and TRANS-3, along with an addition of a westbound left-turn lane on Campbell Boulevard east of Hammatt Avenue, a conversion of the southbound right-turn lane to a through/right-turn lane, and the addition of a northbound-to-eastbound overlap phase.

CUMUL-2: The project applicant or successors in interest shall be required to pay fair-share costs of traffic signals or roundabouts at the Hammatt Avenue intersections with the SR 99 northbound ramps and the SR 99 Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-68 December 2020 southbound ramps as described in Mitigation Measure TRANS-2, along with the construction of a southbound right-turn lane on Hammett Avenue that extends to Campbell Boulevard.

CUMUL-3: The project applicant or successors in interest shall be required to pay fair-share costs of a traffic signal at the Hammatt Avenue/F Street intersections.

Cumulative Plus Project-Buildout
Table 3-13 shows estimated traffic operations under Cumulative Plus Project-Buildout conditions, with a more detailed analysis shown in the traffic study in Appendix D. As shown in Table 3-13, the resulting LOS at the intersections are the same as those under Phase 1 conditions.

With buildout, the addition of project-generated automobile and truck traffic onto the adjacent street system with background cumulative traffic would exacerbate conditions at all four intersections. This is an important traffic impact, but not a significant effect under CEQA as discussed above. Transportation improvements CUMUL-1 through CUMUL-3, described above, would ensure that cumulative traffic conditions are consistent with City standards at the deficient intersections.

Ramp Junctions
As indicated in the evaluation of ramp terminal LOS under Existing Plus Project conditions, the planned widening of SR 99 to six lanes would improve conditions at the SR Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-69 December 2020 99/Hammatt Avenue ramp junctions. No further analysis of ramp merge – diverge under cumulative conditions is necessary.

Intersection Queues
The traffic study notes that, if background development occurs and no improvements are made, then the southbound through traffic queues on Hammatt Avenue at the SR 99 NB ramps would extend beyond the Campbell Boulevard intersection. If the project is built out, then this queue would be longer, and the northbound queue would extend through the SB ramps intersection to F Street if no improvements are made. The transportation improvements needed to address LOS deficiencies would also deal with this issue. No additional improvements would be required.

However, under cumulative conditions at project buildout, the 95th percentile queue extending back on Campbell Boulevard from Hammatt Avenue is projected to extend beyond the proposed western driveway on the project site, and a safety impact may be created. The traffic study suggests two alternatives for dealing with this issue, either of which the project may choose to implementation. Implementation of either alternative would reduce safety impacts related to the western driveway under cumulative conditions to a level that would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures:

CUMUL-4: The project applicant or successors in interest shall select and implement one of two alternatives related to traffic queuing at the western driveway:
1) Reconfiguration of the westbound Campbell Boulevard approach to allow left turns from two lanes. This change would equalize traffic volumes in each lane and reduce the queue lengths. This would require that the layout of the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection be wider to accommodate the concurrent turning paths of two STAA trucks. The project applicant or successors in interest shall be required to pay fair-share costs of improvements proposed by this alternative.
2) Left turns at the western driveway shall be prohibited. If determined to be needed by the City, the project proponents shall fund construction of a median treatment or other measure acceptable to the City to prohibit left turns.
c) Findings on Adverse Effects on Human Beings.

Potential adverse effects on human beings were discussed in Section 3.3, Air Quality; Section 3.7, Geology and Soils (seismic hazards); Section 3.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Section 3.10, Hydrology and Water Quality (flooding); Section 3.17, Transportation (traffic hazards), and Section 3.20, Wildfire. Potential adverse effects on human beings were identified in those sections, but these effects would be reduced to levels that are considered less than significant through compliance with applicable laws, Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 3-70 December 2020 regulations, and City ordinances and standards, along with mitigation measures described in this IS/MND that would reduce potential traffic safety impacts. No other potential adverse effects on human beings have been identified.

5.0 NOTES RELATED TO EVALUATION OF

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The following notes are included in the Environmental Information Checklist shown in Appendix G of the State CEQA guidelines. The notes provide guidance as to the proper use of the form.
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) “Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.” The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from “Earlier Analyses,” as described in (5) below, may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration [CEQA Guidelines Section 15063(c)(3)(D)]. In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed: Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.

Livingston Truck Stop Complex IS/MND 5-2 December 2020
c) Mitigation Measures: For effects that are “Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated,” describe the mitigation measures, which ones were incorporated or refined from the earlier document, and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances).

Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project’s environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9) The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

Recommendations/Comments: Based on existing data in our files the project area has a low sensitivity for the possible discovery of prehistoric or historic resources. Since the project area has been subject to previous investigations, no recommendations for further study are offered at this time.

Please be advised that a historical resource is defined as a building, structure, object, prehistoric or historic archaeological site, or district possessing physical evidence of human activities over 45 years old.

If at any time you might require the services of a qualified professional the Statewide Referral List for Historical Resources Consultants is posted for your use on the internet at http://chrisinfo.org
If archaeological resources are encountered during project-related activities, work should be temporarily halted in the vicinity of the discovered materials and workers should avoid altering the materials and their context until a qualified professional archaeologist has evaluated the situation and provided appropriate recommendations. Project personnel should not collect cultural resources.

If human remains are discovered, California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 requires you to protect the discovery and notify the county coroner, who will determine if the find is Native American. If the remains are recognized as Native American, the coroner shall then notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 authorizes the NAHC to appoint a Most Likely Descendant (MLD) who will make recommendations for the treatment of the discovery.

Due to processing delays and other factors, not all of the historical resource reports and resource records that have been submitted to the State Office of Historic Preservation are available via this records search. Additional information may be available through the federal, state, and local agencies that produced or paid for historical resource management work in the search area.

Additionally, Native American tribes have historical resource information not in the CHRIS Inventory, and you should contact the California Native American Heritage Commission for information on local/regional tribal contacts.

The California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) contracts with the California Historical Resources Information System’s (CHRIS) regional Information Centers (ICs) to maintain information in the CHRIS inventory and make it available to local, state, and federal agencies, cultural resource professionals, Native American tribes, researchers, and the public.

Recommendations made by IC coordinators or their staff regarding the interpretation and application of this information are advisory only. Such recommendations do not necessarily represent the evaluation or opinion of the State Historic Preservation Officer in carrying out the OHP’s regulatory authority under federal and state law.

We thank you for contacting this office regarding historical resource preservation. Please let us know when we can be of further service. Please sign and return the attached Access Agreement Short Form.

Note: Billing will be transmitted separately via email from the Financial Services office ($150.00), payable within 60 days of receipt of the invoice.

If you wish to include payment by Credit Card, you must wait to receive the official invoice from Financial Services so that you can reference the CMP # (Invoice Number), and then contact the link below:
