significant degradation to the environment. The Project will not
substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, nor
will it cause a population to drop below self-sustaining levels. The
Project will not eliminate a plant or animal community, nor reduce
the number or range of a rare or endangered plant or animal. The
site contains no known historical resources.

the level of significance through implementation of the Mitigation
Monitoring Program and the conditions of approval. The
Project's contribution to cumulative noise impacts are

noise resulring from projects within the vicinity. No considerable
cumulative impacts will occur as a result of the Project.
