One truck trip would be required for the hauling of demolished materials (total of <br />approximately 185 cubic feet) to the disposal site, and approximately eight truck trips would be required <br />for soil hauling (148 cubic yards). The remainder of construction trips would be construction worker <br />trips to and from the project site each day of construction. Santa Fe Street would be partially blocked <br />during construction activities (primarily during the one day required to pave Santa Fe Street); however, <br />it would remain accessible with standard traffic control devices. Therefore, short-term construction <br />impacts to the circulation system would be less than significant. <br />The facility would continue to process 15 to 20 truck loads per day and maintain 12 full-time employees <br />(including truck drivers and on-site staff), resulting in a total of approximately 88 daily trips. Heavy truck <br />trips to and from the site would occur throughout the day, with the majority occurring outside of the AM <br />and PM peak hours. In addition, given the relatively limited on-site employment at the existing facility, <br />impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. Moreover, the minor aesthetic, drainage, water <br />quality, and safety improvements associated with the project would not expand operations or <br />JULY 2011 4.16-1 TRANSPORTATIONITRAFFIC <br />31A-89
