Download as PDF 29780 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 24, 2005 / Notices the United States and administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Additionally, the project site lies within the boundary of the San Diego County Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan and will require a Major amendment to said plan through the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG). The site is 2.5 miles north east of the Otay Mesa International Border Crossing, approximately 1⁄4 mile north of the intersection of Alta Road and Otay Mesa Road. The proposed rock quarry operations will include phased recovery of rock resources, materials processing, concrete batch plant, cement treated base plant, asphalt batch plant, and recycling of asphalt and concrete products. Operations are expected to last approximately 50 years. The total anticipated production of the extraction operations is estimated to be 50 million tons (∼25 million cubic yards). Approximately seven million tons is proposed to be extracted from the Federal mineral estate. These Federal mineral materials are proposed to be disposed of in accordance with the 1947 Materials Act (61 Stat. 681) and the Federal mineral materials disposal regulations at 43 CFR part 3600. Total annual production amounts are anticipated to be between 0.6–1.0 million tons of aggregate. The proposed project would generate approximately 460 round trip truck trips per day. The project would also create biological preserve areas prior to extraction. Due to the long-term nature of the extraction activities on the project site, ongoing extraction and reclamation would occur consecutively. As final slopes are graded, these areas would be reclaimed in accordance with reclamation objectives. Reclamation of the site includes the creation of a nearly level pad up to 165 acres in size and an open space easement along the eastern portion of the site. Potential end land uses must be consistent with San Diego County’s East Otay Mesa Specific Plan which governs land use on the project site. Two likely uses compatible with the underlying plan and zoning designations for the site include residential development and/or mixed industrial development. The project alternatives are: (A) Proposed Action (210-acre rock quarry, materials processing, batch plants, and recycling of asphalt and concrete products) (B) Reduced Footprint (80-acre rock quarry, materials processing, batch plants, and recycling of asphalt and concrete products) (C) No Build/No Project (Two Scenarios): No Build Alternative would VerDate jul<14>2003 18:15 May 23, 2005 Jkt 205001 set the baseline environmental setting for the site and would assume that this area will remain undeveloped; No Project Alternative would assume that the site would be developed per the existing land uses approved with the East Otay Mesa Specific Plan.
