Hazardous waste storage at the facility may require a permit and/or Hazardous Waste Generator ID Number from the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) . The project proponent should contact the DTSC for assistance in determining permit and other requirements . Statement of Overriding Considerations The decision-making body of the Lead Agency, is responsible for the certification of the completeness of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) after reviewing and considering the information presented in the document (Title 14, California Code of Regulations (CCR) , Section 15090) . CEQA Guidelines, Article 7, Section 15091 (a) , states : "No public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an EIR has been completed which identifies one or more significant environmental effects of the project unless the public agency makes one or more written findings for each of those significant effects, accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale for each finding. " Page III .G. 19 of the DEIR states, "the cumulative air quality effect after mitigations would still be significant . " However, the DEIR does not identify this as an unavoidable significant cumulative environmental impact in the section on cumulative impacts . This section only identifies the disruption of the physical arrangement of the surrounding community, an aesthetic impact, as an unavoidable significant cumulative environmental impact . The Lead Agency has the authority to approve projects despite significant effects under 14 CCR 15043 . The Statements of Overriding Considerations should be written according to the guidelines outlined in 14 CCR 15093 , taking into consideration Section 21002 of the Public Resources Code. Air quality should be included in the Statements of Overriding Considerations .
