No <br />farmland exists within the site vicinity. In addition, based on the Orange County Important Farmland <br />2008 Map prepared by the California Department of Conservation, the proposed project site does not <br />occur upon any area designated Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide <br />Importance. Thus, no impacts would occur in this regard. <br />IMitigation Measures: No mitigation is required. <br />1 California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, Orange County Important Farmland 2008 <br />Map, published August 2009. <br />JULY 2011 4.2 -1 AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES <br />31A-37 <br />
