Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two of more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the ieffect of the total of these impacts on the environment is significant.)

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (Narratl ve description of envl tonmental trapacts. ) IV. X Resolution No. 93-046 Page 13 DETERHI NATION (Io be completed by the Lead Agency.) On the basis of this initial evaluation: I ftnd the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION 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 OECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED. I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENT IMPACT REPORT is required.
