EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT: There will be no significant long-term irreversible or irretrievable effects on the environment. There will be minimal, acceptable short-term disturbances due to construction activity. 5. BASIS FOR NEGATIVE DECLARATION: This project is consistent with the General Plan of the City of Newport Beach and could not have a signif- icant effect on the environment. 6. INITIAL STUDY: The City of Newport Beach Public Works Department has prepared this Negative Declaration and its Initial Study in accordance with Article 7, Chapter 3, Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970.

(a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of.a fish or wildlife 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 major periods of California history or prehistory? • b. Does the project have the poten- tial to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environ- mental 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 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.) -d. Does the project have environ- mental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? III. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (
