The California Environmental Quality Act states that if any of the following can be answered yes or maybe, the project may have a significant effect on the environment and an Environmental Impact Report shall be prepared. a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate Yes Maybe ......

(A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future. ) i< x c. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant. ) x d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? x C. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION AND MITIGATION MEASURES (Attach sheets as necessary.) -see p'I"fA04EV c-oo/\/'oIIE/-l"f5. \.. ~ REVISED 10/87 PAGE 7 OF 8 PW 90-14 FEBRUARY 26, 1990 C. Discussion Measures: of Environmental Evaluation and Mitigation 19. The project area is located within a liquefaction zone. Because the project is not subject to Ordinance MC-676, a liquefaction report is not required. If a major earthquake was to occur, the sewer lines could rupture and discharge into the ground. Because of the relatively small potential magnitude of such a spill, the resultant environmental impact would be minimal. 3b. The installation of a storm drain will alter the course or flow of flood waters. However, the intent and design of a storm drain is to reduce the potential damage due to flooding through the redirection of flood waters. Therefore, no negative impacts will result from the alteration of the course or flow of flood waters. 5b. During construction, exterior noise levels are expected to exceed 65 dB. Since the increase in noise levels will be temporary, and because the hours of construction activity will be limited by Municipal Code Section 8.54, the impact is not considered to be significant. 9d. Due to construction activity on public streets, there will be temporary alterations to present patterns of circulation. The resultant impact shall be mitigated through the use of traffic controls, such as barricades, flagmen and detours. ( D. ~ DETERMINATl2!J On the basis of this initial study, o ,0;::-- The proPosed project COULD NOT have a significant effect environment and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. The proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, although there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described above have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. on the o o The proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
