initial Study—LID Annexation distribution system would be coordinated with other utilities and the City of Lathrop to allow the use of common trenches. The electrical transmission and distribution lines will not create glare as a result of lighting, since there is no lighting proposed with these facilities and all overhead poles will be wood or non-reflective steel. As for the proposed substation, only a less than significant impact relating to emergency lighting used for maintenance of the facility at night as necessary is identified. The impact is also transient and temporary, since this lighting would not operate during normal working hours. As a result, the project would not impact scenic vistas,degrade scenic quality or great any additional glare not anticipated or mitigated with the previous EIRs. For the provision of sewer and water services, aesthetic impacts were analyzed in the Lathrop Water, Wastewater and Recycled Water Master Plan EIR (Master Plan EIR), River Islands EIR and for sewer and recycled water, the Phase I Expansion of Water Recycling Plant No. I EIR and LAFCO's LID Formation Initial Study/MND. All of these documents are incorporated by reference. Any impacts associated with these services would be mitigated by the mitigation measures identified in these previous documents and no additional analysis is necessary. Copies of the documents are available in the San Joaquin County Community Development Department Office. The proposed project does not involve substantial changes to the Project which will require major revisions of the prior environmental documents due to the involvement of new or substantially more severe environmental impacts because the LID formation and the LID's provision of services previously were evaluated in the prior environmental documents. Further, there are no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances in which the project will be undertaken that would involve new or more intensive impacts in this issue area. Finally, there is no new information of substantial importance,which was not known and could not have been known when the prior environmental documents were prepared, that indicates that the project would have new or more severe aesthetic impacts or that considerably different or feasible mitigation measures are available that the LID declines to implement. The proposed project would not require additional mitigation measures to avoid new significant environmental effects. For these reasons, no further analysis is required. 2.1.3 Aesthetics—Mitigations None required. 2.1.4 Aesthetics—References City of Lathrop(Grunwald and Associates).
