Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page I-4 Forward Inc. Landfill 2014 Expansion Project (B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; (C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or `J (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more sig- nificant effects on the environment,but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. CEQA Guidelines Section 15163 states: (a) The lead or responsible agency may choose to prepare a supplement to an EIR rather than a subsequent EIR if (1) Any of the conditions described in Section 15162 would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR, and (2) Only minor additions or changes would be necessary to make the previous EIR ade- quately apply to the project in the changed situation. (b) The supplement to the EIR need contain only the information necessary to make the pre- vious EIR adequate for the project as revised. (c) A supplement to an EIR shall be given the same kind of notice and public review as is given to a draft EIR under Section 15087. (d) A supplement to an EIR may be circulated by itself without recirculating the previous draft or final EIR. ` (e) When the agency decides whether to approve the project, the decision-making body shall consider the previous EIR as revised by the supplemental EIR. A finding under Section 15091 shall be made for each significant effect shown in the previous EIR as revised. A Supplemental EIR is being prepared for the 2014 Expansion Project because,per CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the proposed changes to the Project summarized in Section 1.3 above would represent changes to the development proposed for the site as anticipated in the 2013 EIR, and these changes would require revisions to the 2013 EIR due to potential new significant _ environmental impacts. In particular, the changes to the Project could result in additional or changed impacts to land use and agricultural resources,biological resources, traffic, noise, air quality, and health risk, compared with those identified in the 2013 EIR. This document includes revised sections addressing those topics only. These changed impacts are discussed in detail in Sections 4.1 through 4.6.All other topics are summarized in Section 4.7, Effects Found Not to Have Changed. This additional analysis constitutes minor additions and changes to the previous EIR because of the following. • no new significant impacts are identified beyond those identified in the 2013 EIR, • impacts would not be substantially more severe than those described in the 2013 EIR, J
