J r u 1 �1 30;SUMMARY OF IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES The following table presents a summary of the project's potential environmental impacts and mitigation measures that would eliminate or reduce such impacts to a less than significant level. The table also identifies significant impacts on the environment that cannot be mitigated to an acceptable level. The following definition is provided to help clarify the concept of Significant Effects, as required by CEQA Guidelines, 1986, Section 15382: "A substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project, including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic significance. An economic or social change by itself shall not be considered a significant effect on the environment. A social or economic change related to a physical change may be considered in determining whether the physical change is significant." The significant unavoidable impacts identified in an EIR (CEQA document) require the Lead Agency and each Responsible Agency to make a finding (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15091; and Public Resources Code, Sections 21083 and 21087) for each significant, unavoidable, adverse impact and a Statement of Overriding Considerations (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15093) for the project, if approved. The responsibility for implementing the mitigation measure is identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Plan (Appendix J). Many of the mitigation measures will require a follow-up monitoring program to ensure that the significant impacts have been mitigated to an acceptable level. ER -93-1 -21 - (9-27-93)
