The Final EIR is hereby incorporated by reference and is available for review at the Kern County Planning Department,2700"M" Street, Suite 100, Bakersfield 93301. Section II. FINDINGS REGARDING THE POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT In May 2004, Kern County issued a Notice of Preparation and Initial Study for the project. Based on the Initial Study and Notice of Preparation, a determination was made that the Final EIR would contain a comprehensive analysis of all environmental issues identified in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. With respect to all impacts identified as"less than significant" or as having"no impact" in the Final EIR, the Board of Supervisors finds that those impacts have been described accurately and are less-than- significant or have not impact as so described in the Final EIR as follows-.' Air Quality 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 impact air quality due to emissions of ozone precursors (NOx, VOC) from employee commute and business travel. The project will not impact air quality due to fugitive emissions of ozone precursors (NOx, VOC) from landfill gas generation. ' Despite concluding that certain impacts would be less-than-significant or would have no impact, the Final EIR nonetheless incorporated mitigation measures in the form of complying with the goals, policies, and implementation measures of the Kern County General Plan or other adopted regulations. The Board of Supervisors finds that these effects are less than significant or have no impact before and after implementation of these mitigation measures.
