29 and around the candidate site and the current use of the properties adjacent to the candidate site. With these factors, a qualitative analysis of each candidate site will be made. The criteria used to evaluate impact's along the travel route will include the number of houses along the anticipated travel route and the weighted average haul distance from the centers of waste generation to the candidate site. The distances along the anticipated travel . outes can be established from road maps. The average haul distance can serve as a surrogate measure for litter impact because larger areas are potentially impacted the further a truck has to travel to reach a site. N 1SE The noise generated by the day -to -day operation of the sanitary landfill will have an impact upon the quality of life of persons living on property adjacent to the landfill and /or adjacent to the travel route used by the disposal vehicles. The noise impact ratings are presented in Exhibit R -7. The present use and future planned use of the properties in the vicinity of the candidate site will be considered in the evaluation. The criteria utilized to evaluate impacts along the travel route will include the number of houses along the anticipated travel route and the weighted average haul distance from the centers of waste generation to the candidate site, similar to the visual impact category. FLORA AND FAUNA The potential to impact flora and fauna will be present regardless of where a sanitary landfill is sited. However, the impact to general plant and animal life must be considered during the evaluation and steps taken to minimize the impacts during design and construction of the landfill. An effort must be made to preserve the habitats of all rare and endangered flora and fauna existing in Orange County. To verify the presence or absence of any such flora and fauna, extensive field work would be required. The F
