more separate resources may be

cause substantial 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 significant effect on
(r the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the
mitigation measures described on attached sheets have been added to the project.
A.NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment,
and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
