8. Impacts Found Not To Be Significant
The Initial Study identified various impact categories among a number of environmental issues that would
not be significantly impacted by the proposed project and therefore, did not warrant further review in this
Draft EIR. Each of these environmental issues was evaluated in the Initial Study and was determined not to
represent a potentially significant impact of the project. Please refer to the Initial Study in Appendix A for
more information. The impact categories found not to be significant are listed below. All other impact
categories are analyzed in this Draft EIR.
