(a) Draft EIR means an EIR conta'i_ni.n,� the
information specified in Section IIT C
of these Guidelines. Where a lead
agency consults with other agencies in
the p .-eparation of a draft EIR, the draft
EIR shall also identify each of those
'agencies.
(b) Final EIR means an EIR containing the
information contained in the draft EIR,
comments either verbatim or in suimnary
received in the review process, a list

the range of the environment.
(b) Impacts which achieve short-term to the
disadvantage of long-term environmental
goals. A short-term impact on the environ-
ment is one which occurs in a relatively

not have a significant effect on the environment.
Before completing a Negative Declaration, the City shall
consult with all responsible agencies, i.e., all
public agencies involved in carrying out or approving
the project.
(2) A Negative Declaration must include a brief
ciescr.iption of the project as proposed, a finding
that the project will not have a significant effect
on the environment, a brief statement of reasons
to support the findings, and a statement indicating
who prepared the initial study and :-here a copy of it.
may be obtained. The Negative Declaration should
normally not exceed one page in length.
(3) The Negative Declaration shall be made available
to the public with sufficient time before the project
is approved to provide an opportunity for members
of the public to respond to the finding.
(4) After making a decision to carry out: or approve
the project, the lead agency shall file a. Notice
of Determination with a copy of the Negative Declara-
tion attached. The procedure for filing the Notice
of Determination is set forth in Section IV B of
these Guidelines.
THE EIR,PROCESS.
A. Decision to Prepare an EI]'.. If the lead agency
iindrs alter an init�a study, that the project may
have a si_gni_ficant effect on the environment, the
lead agency must prepare or cause to be prepared
an Environmental Impact Report.

U. Method of Prepari inw the Dra t ]:1R..
The City may either prepare the draft L:IR itself
or it may require or peri -.dc a project applicant
to prepare the draft: ETR or it may contract for
the preparation of the draft- 1:IR. In all cases
the City has sole responsibility for the adequacy
and objectivity of the EIR. Both the draft <,nd
final Eli' must reflect the independent judgment
of the City.
V,71icn more than one public agency will be involved
in undertaking or approving a project, the City
shall consult with ill responsible agencies (i.e.,
all the other public agencies involved in carrying
out or approving the project) before completing
a draft EIR. This early consultation is designed
to insure that the EIR v7ill reflect the concerns
of all responsible agencies which t%ill issue approvals
for the project. After, completing the draft EIR
the lead agency shall also consult with and seek
to obtain comslents from other public agencies having
jurisdiction by law and should consult with persons
having special expertise and persons anci organizations
it believes will be concerned with the environmental
effects of tha project.
C. Contents of the Draft EIR.
The Environrzental Check List attached hereto as
Fxh-Lbit "D" should be used in preparing the
draft EIR.
(1) Description of Pro,jec.t. The description of the -
project siou G not supply extensive detail beyond
that needed for evalua�ion and review of the environ
.mental impact.
(a) The precise location and boundaries of
the proposed project shall be shown on
a detailed map, preferably topographic.
The location of the project shall also
appear on a regional map.
(b) A statement of the objectives sought by
the proposed project.
(c) A general description of the project's
technical, economic rind environmental
characteristics, considering the principal
engineering proposals and supporting public
service facilities.
(2) Description of Environmental SettinIg. An Elly
_r_ __._
must include <3�ce5 i pption o7`i:he environment in
the vicinity of the project, as it e::i_sts before
commencement of the project, from both a local and
regioizal perspective. Knowledge of the regional
setting is crrit:ical to the assessment: of environ-
mental ir:pacrs. Special emphasis should be placed
on environmental resources that are rare or unique
to that region. Specific reference to related

discussed, preferably in separate sections or
paragraphs.
(a) The Environmental Tmpact of the Proposed
Action: Describe the direct and indirect
impacts of the project on the environrlent,
giving due consideration to both the
short -tern, and long-term effects.
It should include specifics of the area,
the resources involved, physical changes,
alterations to ecological systems and
changes induced in population distribution,
population distribution, population con-
centration the human use of the land
(including commercial and residential
development) and other aspects of the
resource base such as water, scenic
quality and public services
(b) Any Adverse Environmental Effects �,lhich

(c) Mitigation Measures Proposed to Minimize
the Impact: Describe avoidable adverse impacts
including inefficient and unnecessary
consumption of energy, and the measures
proposed to minimize these impacts. This
discussion shall include an identification
of the acceptable levels to which such
impacts will be reduced, and the basis
upon which such levels were. identified.
Where alternative measures are available
to mitigate an impact, each should be
'discussed and the basis for selecting
one alternative should be identified.
Energy conservation pleasures, shall be
discussed.
(d) Alternatives to the Proposed Action:
Describe reasonable alternatives to the
project, or to the location of the

impede the attainment of the
project objectives, and are more costly.
(e) The Relationship Bett:-een Local Short -Terris
Uses of Man's Fnvironment- and the Main-
tenance and Enhanccment of Long -Teri:
Productivity: ;escribe the cumulative
and long-term effects of the proposed
project wl ich adversely affect the state
of the enviroru,:ent. Special attention
should be given to impacts, which narrow
the range of beneficial uses of the environ-
Ment or pose long -terra risks to health
or safety. In addition, the .reasons i•hy
the proposed project is believed by the
sponsor to be justified noV7, .rather than
reserving an option for further alter-
natives, should be explained.
(f) Any Irreversible Environmental Changes
Which Would Be Involved in the Proposed
Action Should It Be Implemented: Uses
of nonrenewable resources during the
initial and continued phases of the project
may .be irreversible since a large commit-
ment of such resources makes removal or
non-use thereafter unlikely. Primary
s and, particularly, secondary
impact
impacts (such as nii�ht.ay improvement which
provides access to a nonaccess_ble area)
generally con: -Lit future generations to
similar uses. Also irreversible damage
can result from environmental accidents
associated witil the project. Irretrievable
commitments of resources should -be evaluated
to assure that such current consumption
is justified.
(g) The Growth -Inducing Impact of the Proposed
Action: Discuss the •rays in which the
proposed project could foster economic
or population gro.;th, either directly
or indirectly, in the surrounding environ-
ment. Included in this are projects which
wouldremove obstacles to population crowt:h
(a major expansion of a waste water treat-,
ment plant might, for example, allow for
more construction in service areas). In-
creases in the population may further tax
existing co=iunity service facilities so
consideration rustbe liven to this impact.
Also discuss the characteristics of some
projects which may encourage and facilitate
Res. No. 75-136/10 of 23
other activities that could significantly affect
the. environment, either individually or cumulatively.
It must not be assumed that growth in any area is
necessarily beneficial, detrimental, or of little
significance to the environment.
(4) Organizations and Persons Consulted
The identity of all federal, state or local agencies, other or-
ganizations and private individuals consulted in preparing the
EIR, and the identity of the persons, firm or agency preparing
the EIR, by contract or other authorization must be given.
(5) Water Quality Aspects.
Describe in the environmental setting section, and other sections
where applicable, water quality aspects of the.proposed project
which have been previously certified by the appropriate state or
interstate organization as being in substantial compliance with
applicable water quality standards.
D. Public Review of the Draft EIR.
As soon as the draft EIR is completed a Notice of Completion must
be filed with the Secretary for the Resources Agency. The Notice
is described in Section IV B of these Guidelines.
In order to allow sufficient time for public review, the draft
EIR shall be made public 30 60 days prior to the time the
lead agency will hold a public hearing or make a determination
on the project. A public hearing on the draft EIR should be held
whenever possible. The ETR should be held whenever possible. The
EIR will be available for review at the offices of the Planning
Division and at the Carson Public Library. Notices will be posted
at the City Hall and Library that the EIR is available for review
and comments will be received during this period.
E. Evaluation by Lead Agency.
The lead agency shall evaluate comments received from persons and
organizations who reviewed the draft EIR and shall respond in
writing to significant environmental points raised by such persons
and organizations.
F. Contents of the final EIR.
(1) The Final EIR shall consist of:
(a) The Draft EIR or a revision of the draft.'
(b) Comments and recommendations received on the Draft
EIR either verbatin or in summary:
-10-
I
Res. No. 75-136 /11 of 23
(c) A list of persons, organizations and public agencies
commenting on the Draft EIR.
(d) The responses of the City of Carson to significant
environmental points raised in the review and con-
sultation process.
(2).?he response of the lead agency to comments received may take
the form of a revision of the draft EIR or may be an attachment
to the draft EIR. The response shall describe the disposition
of significant environmental issues raised (e.g., revisions to
the proposed project to mitigate anticipated impacts or objec-
tions) In particular the major issues raised when the lead
agency's position is at variance with recommendations and ob-
jections raised in the comments must be addressed in detail
giving reasons why specific comments and suggestions were not
accepted, and factors of overriding importance warranting an
override of the suggestions.
G. Degree of Specificity
The degree of specificity required in an EIR will correspond to
the degree of specificity involved in the underlying activity
which is described in the EIR.
(1) An EIR on -a construction project will necessarily be more
detailed in the specific effects of the project than will be
an EIR on the adoption of a local general plan or comprehensive
zoning ordinance because the effects of the construction can
be predicted with greater accuracy.
(2) An EIR on projects such as the adoption or amendment of a
comprehensive zoning ordinance or a local general plan should
focus on the secondary effects that can be expected to follow
from the adoption, but the EIR need not be as detailed as an
EIR on the specific construction uction projects that might follow.
IV. FILINGS REQUIRED BY CEQA.
A. Notice of Completion
As soon as the draft EIR is completed, a notice of completion must
be filed with the Secretary for the Resources Agency. The notice
shall include a brief description of the project, its proposed
location, an address where copies of the EIR are available, and
the period during which comments will be received. A form for
this notice is provided in the Appendices The Notice of Com-
pletion will provide the basis for information published by the
Secretary for Resources in an EIR Monitor. Where the EIR will
be reviewed through the State review process handled by the State
Clearinghouse, g the cover form required by the State Clearinghouse
will serve as the Notice of Completion, and no Notice of Completion
need be sent to the Resources Agency. A form for the Notice of
Completion is attached hereto as Exhibit "G".
B. Notice of. Determination
After making a decision on a project which is not exempt from CEQA,
the City shall file a Notice of Determination. Such notice shall
include (1) the decision of the City to approve or disapprove the
project, (2) the determination of the City whether the project
will or will not have a significant effect on the environment,
(3) a copy of the Negative Declaration or (4) a statement that
an EIR has been prepared pursuant to the provisions of CEQA.
The Notice of Determination shall be filed with the County Clerk
of the county or counties in which the project would be located.
If the project requires descretionary approval from a state agency,
the notice shall also be filed with the Secretary for Resources.
A sample Notice of Determination is attached hereto as Exhibit "H".
