Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page VIII-89 Forward Inc.Landfill 2018 Expansion Project L. Responses to Terpstra Henderson Letter L-1. The comment's concerns regarding the adequacy of the DSEIR are noted. Please see responses L-2 through L-14 below for responses to specific concerns. Recirculation is required when, "significant new information' is identified at the Draft EIR stage. No such information has been identified in responding to comments received on the Draft DSEIR. See also response to Comment 16 in Comment I, Shute,Mihaly, and Weinberger letter. L-2. The comment requests that the EIR be a Subsequent instead of the present Supplemental EIR. Please note that the Notice of Preparation for this EIR stated that it was to be a Supplemental EIR, and the appropriate time to have requested an alternate document would have been at that time. Notwithstanding, there are no substantive or procedural differences between a Supplemental or Supplemental EIR. Both must fully identify the impacts of the project as currently proposed, either on their own or in combination with the prior document, and both also must undergo the same statutory review and comment periods. CEQA Guidelines§ 15162 provides that when an EIR has been certified for a project,no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, that one or more of the following is true: (1)Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;or (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3)New information of substantial importance,which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete shows any of the following: (A)The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR; (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 (D)Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment,but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
