SECTION 5.0 <br /> Environmental Information <br /> This chapter contains 16 individual sections, each with a divider and tab heading. The <br /> sections represent the 16 environmental,public health and safety, and local impact <br /> assessment disciplines for which the California Energy Commission(CEC) Energy Facilities <br /> Siting Regulations (Title 20, California Code of Regulations,Section 1704,Appendix B) <br /> require information in an Application for Certification. The sections have a standardized <br /> format under the following headings: <br /> • Affected Environment <br /> • Environmental Analysis <br /> • Cumulative Effects <br /> • Mitigation Measures <br /> • Laws,Ordinances,Regulations,and Standards (LORS) <br /> • Agencies and Agency Contacts <br /> • Permits and Permit Schedules <br /> The Introduction briefly describes the subject matter and organization of each section. <br /> Affected Environment includes relevant background information about the project's <br /> environmental, social,and regulatory settings. Environmental Analysis analyzes the <br /> potential environmental consequences of the construction and operation of the Lodi Energy <br /> Center. The section begins with a list of the criteria used to determine whether <br /> environmental effects of the project qualify as significant adverse environmental impacts. <br /> Cumulative Effects discusses potential effects of the project that are not significant adverse <br /> impacts,but that could reach significance cumulatively in combination with other projects. <br /> Mitigation Measures describes any mitigation measures necessary to reduce potential <br /> impacts below the level of significance. Laws,Ordinances, Regulations, and Standards <br /> discusses and lists the LORS that pertain to the project for a given discipline and includes a <br /> demonstration that the project, as designed,would comply with all applicable LORS. <br /> Agencies and Agency Contacts is a list of federal agencies with permitting authority over <br /> the project,and state and local regulatory agencies that would have such permitting <br /> authority,but for the exclusive purview of the CEC to license thermal power plants greater <br /> than 50 megawatts in capacity in California. This section also contains a list of regulatory <br /> agency staff and their contact information. Permits and Permit Schedules lists applicable <br /> permits and their schedules. <br /> SAC/371322/082330006(LEC_5.0_ENVIRONMENTAL_INFO.DOC) 5-1 <br />
