of the state cEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental

require major revisions of the CEQA documents because of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects;
b. There have not been any substantial changes with respect to the circumstances
under which the Proposed Project is undertaken that require major revisions of
the CEQA documents due to the involvement of new significant environmental
effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant effects; and
c. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known
and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at
the time MND 2006-05 was adopted, that shows any of the following: (a) the
project will have one or more significant effects not discussed Mitigated
Negative Declaration No. 2006-05; (b) significant effects previously examined
will be substantially more severe than shown MND 2006-05; (c) mitigation
measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed
in the MND 2006-05 would substantially reduce one or more significant effects

oral, received from persons who have reviewed Addendum #1 to Mitigated Negative

information contained in the Addendum #1 and the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
