MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a. Potential to degrade: 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?
MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. Potentially Significant Impact Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated Less than significant Impact No Impact 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, substantially 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?
MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. As noted in the Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Hazard and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, and Transportation sections above, the Project may result in potentially significant impacts and degradation to the quality of the environment. However, adoption and implementation of the Mitigation Measures in the IS/MND and MMRP would reduce these individual impacts to less than significant levels. Air Quality: The project will comply with all SJVAPCD Air Quality regulations. Implementing mitigation measures for Air Quality will lessen impacts to Air Quality to less than significant by implementing an approved SJVAPCD Dust Control Plan or Construction Notification form. Biological Resources: The pipeline route will run through private agricultural land. The presence of special-status plant and animal species on this site prior to ground disturbance cannot be positively determined. Based on habitat conditions surrounding the site with assumption that the site contains similar habitat characteristics, it is possible that special-status species (vernal pool branchiopods (fairy shrimp and tadpole shrimp and habitat), valley elderberry longhorn beetle, California tiger salamander, western spadefoot, giant garter snake, western pond turtle, nesting birds, tricolored blackbird, Swainson’s Hawk, Northern harrier, Bats (Pallid bats or any other CSC-listed bat species), San Xxxxxxx kit xxx, and American badgers species) may have been present prior to site disturbances. Mitigation measures for Biological Resources will be implemented to mitigate the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, reduce habitat for special-species, or cause special-species populations to drop below self-sustaining levels.
MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. 2 The lead agency shall find that a project may have a significant effect on the 4 project where there is substantial evidence, in light of the whole record, that any of the 5 following conditions may occur. Where prior to commencement of the environmental 6 analysis a project proponent agrees to mitigation measures or project modifications that

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. Responses to these questions shall be based on the impact discussions of the Initial Study and whether the project has any potentially significant impacts. The discussion shall reference incorporated and recommended mitigation measures as appropriate.
MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. The proposed agreement will have a less than significant impact on Mandatory Findings of Significance, and will not change the impacts identified in the SMWD CEQA documents.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a. The subject site does not contain the habitat of a fish or wildlife species and therefore the approval of the project would not cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, or reduce or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal. Likewise, approval of the project would not eliminate examples of major periods of California history or prehistory. The existing La Laguna De San Xxxxxxx Play Area is to be determined as to whether the area and all existing site furnishings will be preserved due to historical cultural significance. A cultural resource evaluation will be prepared to provide the background historical material for the HABS/HAER
MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE 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? O D The proposed project would have significant impacts in the areas of Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality and Noise as previously described in this Initial Study. Implementation of the mitigation measures also described, herein, would reduce these potential impacts to a level that would be less than significant.
MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) Does the project have the potential to substantially 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, substantially 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? Based on the answers to Section IV. a) (Biological Resources) there are no rare or endangered species present on the site and the parcel is not suitable habitat for any wildlife species or community. Since the project is within the urbanized area of the City, is surrounded by development, and has been previously graded, construction on this site will not degrade the quality of the environment to a point that would threaten any animal or plant species. Based on the answers to Sections V. and XVIII. (Cultural/Tribal Cultural Resources), there are no recorded cultural resources on the site. However, mitigation measures have been incorporated to protect any potential discovery of cultural resources encountered during project development. There are no historical structures located on the parcel. Therefore, the project will have no impact on the environment from degradation of the quality of the environment, substantial reduction of habitat of a fish or wildlife species, causing a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threatening to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduction in the number or restriction of the range of an endangered, rare, or threatened species or elimination of important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory.
