conclusions set forth in the MND:
1. Revisions in the Project plans or proposals made by or agreed to by the applicant before a
MND and lnitial Study was released for public review and mitigation measures set forth in the
lnitial Study would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no
significant effects would occur.

suggesting that all potential impacts to the environment resulting from the Project can be
mitigated to less than significant levels. All appropriate and feasible mitigation has been
incorporated into the Project design. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan contains
an implementation program for each mitigation measure. Afrer implementation of the
mitigation contained in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan, potential environmental
impacts are effectively reduced fo /ess than significant levels.
