Findings: Unless specifically stated to the contrary in these findings, it is this Commission's intent to adopt all mitigation measures recommended by the EIR If a measure has, through error, been omitted from the Conditions of Approval,from these Findings or from the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP), and that measure is not specifically refected in these Findings, that measure shall be deemed to be adopted pursuant to this paragraph. In addition, unless specifically stated to the contrary in these Findings, all Conditions of Approval and the MMRP, repeating or rewording mitigation measures recommended in the EIR are intended to be substantially similar to the mitigation measures as worded in the EIR and are found to be equally effective in avoiding or lessening the identified environmental impact, even if minor wording changes have occurred. C.6. Absence of Significant New Information CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5 requires a lead agency to recirculate an EIR for further review and comment when significant new information is added to the EIR after public notice is given of the availability of the Draft EIR but before certification of the Final EIR. New information added to an EIR is not"significant' unless the EIR is changed in a way that deprives the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment upon a substantial adverse environmental effect of the project or a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect that the project proponent declines to implement. The Guidelines provide examples of significant new information under this standard, as follows: (1) A new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented. (2) A substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless mitigation measures are adopted that reduce the impact to a level of insignificance. (3) A feasible project alternative or mitigation measure considerably different from others previously analyzed would clearly lessen the significant environmental impacts of the project, but the projects proponents decline to adopt it. (4) The draft EIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were precluded. Recirculation is not required where the new information added to the EIR merely clarifies or amplifies or makes insignificant modifications in an adequate EIR. The Commission recognizes that the Final EIR incorporates information obtained by Agency since the Draft EIR was completed, and contains additions,clarifications, modifications, and other changes. With respect to this information, the Commission finds as follows: 4
