<p>Mountain Springs Community encompasses an area targeted for growth (Lime Kiln) located in and around the Mountain Springs Golf Course, approximately 1.5 miles southeast of the City of Sonora. It includes 900 residential dwelling units and commercial development. The project required preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the community. A quantitative greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory and analysis was conducted with an increase in traffic trips and vehicle miles traveled serving as the primary source of GHG emissions. Following determination of a significant impact, carbon-reduction mitigation measures were recommended for consideration by the Board of Supervisors.</p>
