of non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gases. There are no thresholds yet adopted for greenhouse gas emissions at either project or cumulative levels. The Project has incorporated in its design and the air emission mitigation measures its operations procedures, maximum feasible mitigation for greenhouse gas emissions and restrictions on types of permitted waste streams,24-hour encapsulation of biosolids and chipped construction lumber, landfill gas collection system, landfill gas flare, purchase of 788 trees and onsite equipment engine controls. It is assumed that the County will similarly implement and/or incorporate in the Project-area composting and landfill operations maximum feasible mitigation for greenhouse gas emissions. Nevertheless, it is concluded that, in the absence of thresholds, and because of the adverse environmental effects of global warming, cumulative greenhouse gas emissions are a significant environmental effect. Fmdina The cumulative air quality impact from greenhouse gas emissions is considered significant and unavoidable. All feasible and reasonable changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into,the project that substantially lessen the potentially significant effect as identified in the Final EIR. Brief Explanation of the Rationale for the Finding CEQA requires that all feasible and reasonable mitigation be applied to the project to reduce the impacts from greenhouse gas emissions on air quality and global climate change. Implementation of Mitigation Measures 4.1-2, 4.1-3, 4.1-4, and 4.1-5, 4-1.7 and project level design constraints would reduce greenhouse gas emissions. No other reasonable or feasible mitigation has been identified that will reduce impacts to-air quality for the project. The cumulative air quality impact is considered significant and unavoidable. Biological Resources A. Environmental Effects Of The Project Found To Have No Impact On The Environment,or Have A Less Than Significant Impact On The Environment. The project will not disturb Oak tree woodlands. The project will not conflict with other Habitat Conservation Plans(HCPs)or Habitat Lands. B. Environmental Effects Of The Project That Are Potentially Significant, But That Can Be Mitigated To A Less Than Significant Level. Potential Significant Effect Without proper mitigation,the project has the potential to disturb rare or endangered plant or animal life. Description of Specific Impact Construction and operations related activities associated with the proposed Project have the potential to result in impacts to rare or endangered plant or animal life. Potential impacts to species identified in . Table 4.2-3, could result from vehicle strikes, crushing or entombment, excavation or soil stockpiling activities, removal of vegetation or habitat features such as niches on the pit walls that could contain nest ............................ - Findings of Fact—Section 15091 March 15,2016 H.M.
