i Significant and Unavoidable - The impact is one that would cause a substantial effect on the environment and for which no feasible mitigation has been identified f.J to reduce the impact to a less-than-significant level. Format of Issue Sections I Each issue section has three parts: (1) Introduction; (2) Setting; and (3) Impacts and Mitigation Measures. The Introduction describes the purpose of the section, as well as references and other data sources for the analysis. The Setting section describes the existing conditions at the regional, subregional and local level, and applicable plans, policies and regulations. The Impacts and Mitigation Measures section identifies the potential impacts of the proposed project and each of the alternatives, and the proposed project in conjunction with other projects in the vicinity ("cumulative" impacts). This section identifies standards for determining impact significance. The pre-mitigation level of significance for each impact is established. Project-specific mitigation measures and potential impact significance after I implementation of the mitigation measures are identified. Each impact and mitigation !.J measure is numbered consecutively for individual sections within the EIR. Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures are provided for all significant impacts. The CEQA Guidelines (Section 15370) define mitigation as: (a) avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; (b) minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation; (c) rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the impact !.J environment; , (d) reducing or eliminating the impact over time by Preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the action; and (e) compensating for the impact by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments. a Except for unavoidable significant impacts, the mitigation measures recommended in this EIR would be sufficient to reduce impacts to less-than-significant levels. Unless otherwise noted, when more than one mitigation measure is recommended for a specific impact, all ,; mitigation measures would be required to reduce the impact to a less-than-significant level.
