MINERAL RESOURCES -- Would the project: <br />a) Result in the loss of availability of a known <br />mineral resource that would be of value to the <br />region and the residents of the state? [~ <br />b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally- <br />important mineral resource recovery site <br />delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or <br />other land use plan? <br />DISCUSSION <br />a) The California Geological Survey (CGS) (formerly the California Division of Mines and Geology <br />(CDMG)) has classified lands within the San Francisco-Monterey Bay region into Mineral <br />Resource Zones (MRZs) based on guidelines adopted by the California State Mining and Geology <br />Board, as mandated by the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) of 1975 (Stinson et al., <br />1983). The CDMG classified urbanized lands within the South San Francisco Bay Production- <br />Consumption Region.according to the presence or absence of significant sand, gravel, or stone <br />deposits that are suitable as sources of aggregate. Areas classified as MRZ-1 are areas where . <br />adequate information indicates that no significant mineral deposits are present, or where it is judged <br />that little or no likelihood exists for their presence. MRZ-2 areas are those where adequate <br />information indicates that significant deposits are present. Areas classified as MRZ-3 contain <br />mineral deposits, but their significance cannot be evaluated from available data. Areas are <br />classified as MRZ-4 where available information is inadequate for assignment to any other MRZ <br />category. <br />The majority of the City, including the Project area, is classified as MRZ-1 indicating areas where <br />adequate information exists that no significant mineral deposits are present or where it is judged <br />that little likelihood for their presence exists (Stinson, et al., 1983). <br />MITIGATION MEAS URES <br />None required or recommended. <br />San Leandro Recycled Water Project 2-36 ESA / ?A3193 <br />Drafr IS/MND <br />
