Approval of the Modification is anticipated to result in a reduction of approximately 35 truck trips to and from the Site per month, thereby reducing any truck noise related to operation of the Site. b. Approval of the Modification will not result in any additional noise impacts, further, note that the Court upheld the 2004 EIR with regard to its analysis of noise impacts. 4.
