or wildlife population to drop below
self-sustaining levels,threaten to
eliminate a plant.or animal coninunity,
reduce the number or restrict the range
of a rare or endangered plant or animal,
or eliminate important examples of the
major periods of California~history or
prehistory?
___________
X
-7—
Exhibit A-7
Yes Maybe No
2.Does the project have the potential to
achieve short-term,to the disadvantage of
long—term,environmental goals?(A short-
term impact on the environment is one
which occurs in a relatively brief,de
finitive period of time,while long—term
impacts will endure well into the future.)
__________
X
3.Does the project have impacts which are
individually limited but cumulative con
siderable?(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.)
4.Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings,.‘
.
either’directly or indirectly?

effect on the environment and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
______
I.find that although the proposed:project could have a
significant effect on the.environment’,there will not be’
a significant effect in this case’because the mitigation

measures described on an attached sheet have,been added
to the project.A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.

•EXPLANATION OF YES AND MAYBE ANSWERS IN SECTION III-ENVIRONMENTM.~EYFECTS
‘!I A 2 Disruptions,displacements,compaction or overcovering of
the soil may occur during the construction of the facilities.
3 Change in topography or ground surface relief features may
occur during construction.
5 Construction will expose soils to wind and water erosion
until activities are completed.
3 1 The use of construction vehicles and equipment may affect
ambient air quality.
C 5&7 Dewatering devices may be employed during the construction
of the proposed facilities.The water from the dewatering:
activities may be discharged to the existing flood control
system.
F l&2 Noise levels may ~increase as the result of trenching and
paving operations during construction.
M 2&4 The traffic patterns in the construction area may be
disrupted.
6 Traffic hazards.in the area may be increased by construction
activities.
0 l&2 Energy will be consumed.during construction and the~ultimate
operation of the facilities..
P 1.Increased use of power or natural gas may result from the
larger sized facilities.
4 The implementation of the new facilities will,change the
existing sewerage system to accommodate growth projections
of agencies with planning jurisdiction.
S Drainage patterns may be altered during construction.
R The proposal may result.in the obstruction of a scenic
vista,during the construction process.
0 3.Short.term impacts associated with project construction,
i.e.,traffic congestion,noise,air emissions,etc.may be
