<p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>CEQA
STATUS</span></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>:
The Revised Draft EIR has been prepared consistent with CEQA (Public Resources
Code [PRC] Section 21000 et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California
Code of Regulations [CCR] Title 14, Section 15000 et seq.). The project could
result in significant impacts and mitigation measures have been proposed to
reduce the significance of impacts to a less than significant level in the
areas of: air quality and odor, biological resources, cultural resources,
geology and soils, hydrology and water quality, and transportation. All other
resource categories were deemed to be less than significant or have no impact.
The project site is not on any of the lists of hazardous waste sites enumerated
under Governmental Code Section 65962.5.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>The
original Draft EIR was issued in February, 2015. The <u>Revised</u> Draft EIR
modifies the following chapters: Project Description, Aesthetics, Air Quality
& Odor, Biological Resources, Hydrology & Water Quality, and
Alternatives Description & Analysis, and adds an Appendix L Bishop Pine
Mitigation Plan. All other chapters of the original Draft EIR are unaltered
and are incorporated by reference into the Revised Draft EIR.</span><span
