The purpose of this document is to inform decision-makers and the general public of any significant adverse enviroririlental effects associated with the proposed actions, and to identify measures which may be taken to mininiize these effects. The project site is known as the Corona Quarry. It is located near the TemeseaI Wash, east of the City of Corona,in an unincorporated portion of Riverside County. (See Figures land 2.) The project applicant, CalMat Co., proposes to mine arid process rock from this site in quantities offrom 300,000 to over 5 million tons per year, dependent upon resource quality and market conditions. Additionally, the applicant proposes to implement a reclamation plan concurrent with and following completion of mining operations. The reclamation plan will provide for the rehabilitation and reuse of mined areas. This document has been prepared as a "Focused" EIR, under the direction of the County of Riverside, which is the Lead Agency for this projeci; Thefocused scope of this EIR reflects the environmental setting of the site and the general characteristics of the proposed project. The applicant has filed for a Surface Mining Permit (No. 168) and Reclamation Plan appliCation with the County of Riverside to enlarge upon the existing Surface Mining Permit and Reclamation Plan. This application was reviewed by the Planning Department, who prepared ahEnvironmental Assessment Evaluation of the project. Based upon this information, the County determined that the project may have significant effects on the environment and an EIR should be prepared to focus on the following issues: 1. HydrolQgy - There may be hydrology-related impacts associated with the mining, including drainage, erosion, flooding, groundwater, surface and subsurface water quality. The Environmental Assessment indicated that erosion of soils on this site is considered high on slopes . of 15-50 percent. Mining will disturb large areas of the site, thus increasing the potential for this hazard. The westerly portion of the site, along Temescal Wash, is in a 100-year floodplain and the datil inundation area for Lake Mathews. Proposed processing facilities will be sited within this 100-year floodplain. The Riverside County General Plan indicates that heavy industry is generally unsuitable in floodplains unless a site investigation indicates that hazards can be mitigated. Impacts to groundwater and surface water quality may result from this project, especially with regard to the wash-water used for screening and washing of aggregates. 2. Noise and Vibration - Noise and vibrations from the proposed mining (including blasting) and processing, as well as from truck traffic, may impact adjacent neighborhoods, such as Home Gardens and El Cerrito. Similar to adjacent mining properties, hours of operation will be· restricted to daytime hours in order to mitigate noise and vibration impacts to the nearby land uses. 3. Air Quality - The cumulative effects of dust, mining and processing, vehicular emissions, and the production of asphalt typieaIly associated with such operations may cause significant effects to regional air qualitY. 4. Biological Resources - Mining and processing may produce impacts upon the riparian and coastal sage plant communities. Portions of the east end of the site are within the range and habitat of the Stephens kangaroo rat, a federally- and state-listed endangered species. Sensitive species may exist in the portion of the site traversed by Temescal Wash, although this area has been disturbed by mining in the past. Habitats will be eliminated by mining. 5. Archaeoloflica1 Resources - The possible existence of these resources are unknown at this tinle. Study is necessary to determine if anY inlpact upon historical or archaeological resources is possible. 6. Visibility and Aesthetics - Implementation of the Corona Quarry operation will cause significant inlpacts upon the local visual and aesthetic resources. The site is .within one mile and within the view of theCororia Freeway, I-15,an eligible State Scenic Highway. Many mining and industrial uses are already visually impacting aesthetics in this area. The proposed mining operation will result in noticeable landform and topographic changes to the site. Over 1,000 vertical feet of elevation change are anticipated. On a.clear day this operation will be visible from much of the surr9unding area. 7, Circulation - . Cajalco Street and Magnolia Avenue will be inlpacted by this project. Significant truck traffic will be necessary to haul the anticipated 5 million tons of rock, concrete, and asphalt froin the site for the rrrst 10 years alone. 8; Public Safety - The Corona Quarry project may generate public safety inlpacts related to site access and blasting. 9. Fire Hazard; The project is within a regional rrre hazard area as identified by the Riverside County General Plan. The Notice of Preparation(NOP) for this EIR was circulated and publicly reviewed for a 30-day period betWeen August 18, 1988 and September 16, 1988. The Environtnental Assessment Form and NOP both. indicated that the proposed project would involve the expansion of an existing ten-acre aggregate quarry over a 337-acre site, and the installation of a crushing, screening and washing plant, a con.crete batch plant and an asphalt plant on-site.

    Using Local Knowledge Graph Construction to Scale Seq2Seq Models to Multi-Document Inputs Angela Fan Claire Gardent Chloe´ Braud Antoine Bordes FAIR / LORIA CNRS / LORIA CNRS / LORIA FAIR angelafan,[email protected] claire.gardent,[email protected] Abstract Query-based open-domain NLP tasks require information synthesis from long and diverse web results. Current approaches extrac- tively select portions of web text as input to Sequence-to-Sequence models using meth- ods such as TF-IDF ranking. We propose constructing a local graph structured knowl- edge base for each query, which compresses the web search information and reduces re- dundancy. We show that by linearizing the graph into a structured input sequence, models can encode the graph representations within a standard Sequence-to-Sequence setting. For two generative tasks with very long text in- put, long-form question answering and multi- document summarization, feeding graph rep- resentations as input can achieve better perfor- mance than using retrieved text portions. 1 Introduction Effective information synthesis is at the core of many Natural Language Processing applica- Figure 1: Multi-Document Input to Linearized Graph tions, such as open-domain question answering Multi-document input resulting from web search queries are converted to a graph structured knowledge base using coref- and multi-document summarization.

    Section 5.5 – Geology, Soils and Seismicity 5.5 Geology, Soils and Seismicity 5.5.1 Introduction Information and recommendations presented in this section were taken from the original East Lake Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) [State Clearinghouse No. 92092027], and where appropriate, updated and/or augmented with information provided in the City’s General Plan Update Program EIR and General Plan that are herein incorporated by reference. These base documents were utilized to analyze the proposed Project land use changes and proposed backbone infrastructure improvements within the Infrastructure Improvements Areas (IIAs) at a programmatic level. Future development proposed as part of a future implementing development project would require additional analysis for consistency with the findings and determinations made in this EIR and may require additional project-level CEQA review, consistent with ELSPA No. 11 Section 10.7. 5.5.2 Environmental Setting The topography of the Project site is generally flat, dropping off to the west at gradients of one percent or less. The elevation of the site along Corydon Street is generally around 1,270 feet, this elevation falls gently towards the north and then to the west towards the Lake (Lake Elsinore) where the Lake line elevation around the levee ranges from 1,230 to 1,240 feet. Rome Hill lies southwest within the Project site. A smaller hill, southeast of Rome Hill, rises approximately 60 feet from the old Lake bed elevation. The San Jacinto River enters the site along the northeastern corner, crosses the northern portion of the site in the inlet channel, and empties into the Lake to the west.

  • Geology and Soils
    Section 4.12 Geology and Soils This section assesses the potential impacts on and from geology and soils that could arise from disturbances and impacts resulting from future development consistent with the General Plan as updated by GPA No. 960, the proposed project. 4.12.1 Existing Environmental Setting – Geology and Soils While the County of Riverside is at risk from many natural and man-made hazards, the event with the greatest potential for loss of life or property and economic damage is an earthquake. This is true for most of Southern California, since damaging earthquakes are frequent, affect widespread areas, trigger many secondary effects and can overwhelm the ability of local jurisdictions to respond. In Riverside County, earthquake-triggered geologic effects that may occur include groundshaking, fault rupture, landslides, liquefaction, subsidence and seiche, all of which are discussed below. Earthquakes can also cause human-made hazards, such as urban fires, dam failure and toxic chemical releases. Earthquakes are caused by movement of rock along a break called a fault. The movement releases pent up strain energy in the form of waves which travel outward in all directions. These seismic waves cause the earth to vibrate and this shaking is what we feel in an earthquake. Most earthquakes occur along plate boundaries. The outer portion of the Earth consists of enormous chunks of rock called plates, which slowly collide, separate and grind past each other. Frictional forces resist plate movement and the plate edges lock together. Much strain energy builds up as the plates keep trying to move. Eventually, frictional forces are exceeded, the locked edges move and all the stored strain energy is released in seismic waves.
