Environmental Review
59
The IS-MND identifies that the project would potentially affect
the following environmental factors unless mitigated:
•Air Quality
•Biological Resources
•Cultural Resources
•Hazards and Hazardous Materials
•Noise
•Transportation
•Tribal Cultural Resources
•Utilities and Service Systems
Mitigation measures have been identified to reduce these
potential impacts to less than significant.
Environmental Review
60
◼Cultural Resources:
▪Found the project would have less than significant
impact on historic resources, w/ mitigation.
▪Found the existing structure does not qualify as a
historic resource under the listing criteria.
◼Tribal Cultural Resources:
▪Found the project would have less than significant
impact on Tribal Historical Resources, w/
mitigation.
