5 Evaluate Potential Impacts and Identify Mitigation Measures Reduced Project Alternative with Increased Volume Option Significant and Unavoidable Impacts ImpactEIR Resource Area Delta and Biological Resources Longfin Smelt Air Emissions-Indirect: Air Quality & -Sand shipped from Canada Climate Change/ -Sand from local quarries Greenhouse Gases

6 1.BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Impact: Regular operation of sand mining activities will cause entrainment and mortality of delta and longfin smelt. Mitigation Measures Timing of dredging relative to X2. Current restrictions on sand mining operations. Additional requirements and restrictions to minimize and avoid take will be set through consultation with the CDFG and would likely be a requirement of any Incidental Take Permit that may be issued for the Project. Compensatory mitigation measures. Impact remains Significant and Unavoidable

7 Mitigation Measures No feasible mitigation available; outside CSLC’s control and jurisdiction. 2. AIR QUALITY & CLIMATE CHANGE / GREENHOUSE GASES Impact: At Reduced Project mining volumes, sand from non-Project sources would result in emissions that exceed significance thresholds. AIR-1 - Criteria air pollutants: PM 10 & No x AIR-2 - Potential impacts on climate change: GHGs AIR-3 – Potential health risk from diesel particulate matter Impacts remain Significant and Unavoidable; but would be reduced to Less than Significant with exercise of Increased Volume Option.

Modeling Domain Used in All Modeling

The baseline is the point of departure, or starting point, for the EIR impacts analysis. The mining volume used as the baseline for the analysis in the EIR is the average annual volume of sand mined from 2002 to Less than the permitted levels under the previous leases. Less than the annual average mined during the entire 10 years under the previous leases. Recognizes fluctuations over time depending on market demand and other forces. 9 CSLC Determination of Baseline
