III. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
lb. Realignment of roadway will involve some compaction of soils.
2a. Dust raised during construction will be maintained by watering of site
12. Additional residential parcels will be created by this subdivision.
13d. Intersection of Highway 39 and Old San Gabriel Canyon Road will be
realigned to increase traffic safety.
16d. Septic tank hookups will be necessary for new construction on site.
MITIGATION MEASURES
Describe mitigation measures included in the project, if any are
needed, to avoid potentially significant effects:
None Noted.
DETERMINATION
(To be completed by Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
X I find the proposed project COULD NOT HAVE a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECARATION has
been prepared and is attached.
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.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect
effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required.
