RECOMMENDED ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: On the basis of this initial evaluation: C] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a —, NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. X I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. F] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or'. NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are posed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. Date Printed Name, For John L. Funderburg III EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: I) A -brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that -,are adequately supported:by the: information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A, "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project -specific factors as well as.general standards (e.g. the.project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project -specific screening analysis). 2) Atl answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project -level, .indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead .agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, and then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries whem:the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less. than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect,to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from- Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced).
