21. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wild-
life species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below
self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the X
major periods of California history or prehistory? _
b. 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 definitive period of time while long-term impacts will X
endure well into the future.)
c. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited but
cumulatively considerable? ( 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.) X
d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings directly or
indirectly? X

None required.
DETERMINATION
(To be completed by Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
% 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.
