Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of l ong-te~m, environmental goals? (A short-term i~act 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). Does the project have impacts which are individually 1 freited, but cumul artrely considerable? (A project may impact on two of more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of these impacts on the environment is significant.) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or fndirec~y? YES Page 6 MAYBE NO X X X X Resolution No. 93-158 Page 13 III. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (Narratlve description of environmental impacts.) Page 7 Earth ~ere will be subgrade soils and aggregate base preparation and co, action for the replace~nt and/or widening sections of asphalt concrete pavement. 3. Water ~ew curb, gutter and catch basin will facilitate better drainage. 6. Noise a~xtsttng noise levels will increase due to equipment operations during construction, but could be mitigated by the tn)tallatton of noise attenuators and the restriction of hours of operation of equipment. 13. Transportation/Circulation a, b, d and f. During the construction operations, traffic and parking will increase on surrounding street near the project perimeter. Alterations to present patterns of vehicular and pedestrian circulation and any possibility of traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians during construction can be mitigated by the proper use of roadway warning and detour signs. 14. Public Services a, b and c. )Dis project will have an interim effect on the present pattern of circulation of vehicles (i.e., police, fire, school). Such circulation pattern impacts can be mitigated by prior notification to the respective agencies of the proposed street work giving time, date and duration of said work. IV. DETERMINATION (mo be completed by the Lead Agency.) X On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find 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 the environment, and an ENVIRONMENT II~ACT REPORT is required.
