21 . Mandatory Findings of Significance.
a. Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the environ-
ment, 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 or
eliminate important examples of the
major periods of California history
or prehistory?
b. Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the dis-
advantage of long-term, environ-
mental goals? (A short-term impact
on the environment is one which oc-
curs in a relatively brief, definitive
period of time while long-term impacts
will endure well into the future. ) _
c. Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but cumu-
latively considerable? (A project's
impact on two or more separate
resources may be relatively small, but
where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment
is significant. )
d. Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substan-
tial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
(IW
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a signi-
ficant effect on the environment, there will not be a signi-
ficant effect in this case because the mitigation measures
described on attached sheets have been added to the
project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
1 find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on'
the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required.
