Section 2. Location of Pipeline. The City Council finds that the public interest would be served by allowing the installation and operation of pipelines and appurtenant facilities limited to those certain streets, highways, roads, alleys and other public places dedicated to public use shown on the map attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and legally described as set forth in Exhibit "B" attached hereto.

Section 3. CEQA Findings. A. On September 1, 1994, following a duly noticed public hearing, a supplemental environmental impact report ("SEIR") was certified for the Ultramar Inc. Wilmington Refinery Reformulated Fuels Program (SCH No. 92111042). The environmental findings required by the California Environmental Quality Act are set forth in the Notice of Determination prepared by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and are hereby incorporated by reference. B. On September 19, 2000, by adoption of Resolution No. 00-122, the City Council approved an addendum to the SEIR ("the Addendum"). C. The SEIR contemplated the construction of the Wilmington hydrogen plant as well as associated pipelines, including a hydrogen pipeline from Wilmington to Torrance, California. The hydrogen plant was built in Wilmington and began commercial operation in 1996. In 1998, the City of Carson prepared a final environmental impact report for the Carson Hydrogen Facility and Specialty Gas Facility (SCH No. 97071078) as well as associated pipelines, including a tie-in to an existing 6- inch hydrogen pipeline that runs from the Wilmington facility towards Carson. The hydrogen plant was built in Carson and began commercial operation in 1999. The Franchisee seeks to complete the hydrogen pipeline evaluated in the SEIR to provide a connection to the Mobil Refinery located in Torrance. D. Based upon the record before the City Council, including the Addendum, the Initial Study of the environmental impacts prepared in connection with the pipeline franchise, and the findings set forth above, the City Council hereby finds and determines that neither a Subsequent EIR, Supplemental EIR, nor further environmental review is required for the pipeline franchise pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21166, 14 Cal. Admin. Code Section 15162 or 15163 based upon the following findings: 1. The elements of the project were contemplated and fully and properly analyzed in the SEIR certified and approved by SCAQMD on September 1, 1994. 2. There have been no subsequent changes to the project since August, 1994 which require major revisions of the SEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. 3. Substantial changes have not occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions CARSON CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING RESOLUTION NO.01-067 656978.1 - Page 2 Of 4- JUNE 19,2001 of the previous SEIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. 4. There is no new significant information since the certification of the SEIR which would show or tend to show that the project might have one or more significant effects not discussed in the SEIR. 5. There is no new information since the certification of the SEIR which would show or tend to show that significant effects previously examined might be substantially more severe than shown in the SEIR. 6. There is no new information since the certification of the SEIR which would show or tend to show that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project. 7. There is no new significant information since the certification of the SEIR which would show or tend to show that mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the SEIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment. E. The above determinations represent the independent judgment of the City Council.
