period of time while long-term impacts
will endure well into the future. ) u
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
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.
.find the proposed project .MAY have a significant effect on'
the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT 'REPORT is
required.
