1 � State Clearinghouse in the Office of Planning and Research was responsible for distributing environmental documents to State agencies, departments, boards, and commissions for review and comment. The County followed required procedures with regard to distribution of the appropriate notices and environmental documents to the State Clearinghouse. The State Clearinghouse was obligated to make, and did make, that information available to interested agencies for review and comment. The NOP was received by the State Clearinghouse (SCH #2006112097)and a 30 day public review period started on May 31, 2012 and ended on June 29, 2012. The NOP and all comments received on the NOP are presented in Appendix A of the Draft EIR (DEIR, p. 1-6.) Consistent with the requirements of the San Joaquin Superior Court's April 9, 2012,judgment and writ,the EIR includes an analysis of the following issue areas: • Transportation; • Air Quality; • Cumulative Impacts (Transportation and Air Quality); and • Alternatives. The County published the Draft EIR for public and agency review on September 28, 2012. A public review period of 45 days was provided on the DEIR and ended on November 13, 2012. (DEIR Notice of Availability, p. 2.) This period satisfied the requirement for a 45-day public review period as set forth in Section 15105 of the CEQA Guidelines. Three letters commenting on the DEIR were received and upon review by County Staff, it was determined that none of the comments provided any basis to identify any new significant impacts or significant information that would require recirculation of the DEIR. The proposed Final EIR was issued on December 5,2012. On December 20, 2012, the Planning Commission held a hearing at which the Commission certified the final EIR, adopted CEQA Findings of Fact and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and approved the proposed Project. An appeal of the Planning Commission's certification of the Final EIR was timely entered on behalf of Pilot-Flying J, Inc. The County set the appeal for hearing before the County Board of Supervisors on February 12, 2013. IV.
