Less than <br /> Significant <br /> Potentially With Less Than <br /> Significant Mitigation Significant No <br /> 10. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project: Impact Incorporated Impact Impact <br /> (a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be <br /> of value to the region and the residents of the state? <br /> (b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource 0 <br /> recovery site delineated on a local general plan,specific plan or other land <br /> use plan? <br /> Impact Analysis: <br /> a-b) According to the current 1990 City of Redwood City's General Plan,"Redwood City's mineral <br /> resources are limited to the saline waters of San Francisco Bay,shell deposits from young upper bay <br /> mud,mercury in Stulsaft Park,and magnesium compounds in association with salt evaporation <br /> processes....notwithstanding the presence of traces of mercury at Stulsaft Park and oyster shells on the <br /> bottom of San Francisco Bay,Redwood City does not have any exploitable mineral resources that <br /> would justify preservation." (General Plan, 1990). The proposed Multi-Agency Maritime Facility <br /> project would not require quarrying,mining, dredging,or extraction of locally important mineral <br /> resources on site,nor would it deplete any nonrenewable natural resource.Therefore,the project would <br /> have no effect on mineral resources at either a project-specific or cumulative level. <br /> Reference <br /> City of Redwood City, Strategic General Plan, Conservation Element,January 22, 1990,as amended. <br /> Port of Redwood City Multi-Agency Maritime Facility 34 February 2010 <br /> Initial Study <br />
