residents as the area is sparsely populated. Fugitive dust and regional haze would be increased <br />( during the period of mining operations. <br />No Action Alternative: None <br />I~ <br />Cumulative Impacts of the Proposed Action: The proposed activity will include <br />cumulative impacts to the generation of fugitive dust and regional haze in the area. The effects <br />could be expected to last only during the period of active mining. Adequate re-vegetation of the <br />detention basin would mitigate this effect once mining was complete. If, however, the surface of <br />the detention pond could not be adequately re-vegetated the 20 acre expanse of bare soil might <br />become a permanent generator of dust for the area It may be very difficult to re-vegetate the site <br />considering that the expectation is that it would be annually inundated by surface water that <br />would dry during the summer season. <br />CULTURAL RESOURCES <br />Affected Environment: Both prehistoric and historic sites are present in the vicinity of <br />the area ofpotential effect. Two aboriginal sites, SCF1937 and SCF2213, were recorded during <br />the cultural resources inventory [see Report CR-RG-06-105 (P)). <br />Environmental Consequences/Mitigation: Because neither site is eligible for the <br />National Register of Historic Properties, neither is considered a historic property and there will <br />be no effect on any historic properties. Therefore, no additional work is necessary. <br />Environmental Consequences/Mitigatfon: <br />Proposed Action: No effect, no mitigation necessary. <br />No Action Alternative: No effect, no mitigation necessary. <br />Other Alternative: No effect, no ntigation necessary. <br />Cumulative Impacts of the Proposed Action: None foreseen. <br />ENVIILONMENTAL JUSTICE <br />Affected Environment: There are no minority or low-income populations in or near the <br />project azea. <br />Environmental Consequences/Mitigatfon: None of the alternatives will have a <br />disproportionatelyhfgh and adverse human health or environmental effect on minority or low- <br />incomepopulations. <br />Cumulative Impacts of the Proposed Action: None <br />FARMLANDS, PRIME AND UNIQUE <br />
