(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 cumu- latively 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.

Discussion of invironmental Evaluation IC. nPtermination (To he completed by the Lead Agency) '78 YES MAYBE N0 1 • • Ht-[A:Xb I6 r r^ I) On the basis of this initial evaluation: K. I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. 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. Date I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on thb environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. o%30%s-/ For a' e4(exi Signature /� (�4We t.�! r. r4ra1 Ilfrf dili4le(!,r(G' (Note: This is only a suggested form.
