Document Type
NOP - Notice of Preparation of a Draft EIR
Received
Document Description
The purpose of this EIR is to identify possible environmental impacts and other county - wide concerns associated with the proposed 1993 RTP. This EIR includes suggested mitigation measures designed to lessen the impact that the RTP may have on the environment, and has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The RTP does not directly provide for the implementation of transportation projects (facilities). Rather, the RTP identifies necessary improvements to facilities in order to provide the best possible circulation/transportation system to meet the mobility needs of the entire County. As each project nears implementation, it will be necessary to undertake "project specific" environmental assessments before each project is approved and implemented. Such review will be required in accordance with CEQA guidelines and, if Federally funded, NEPA guidelines. If necessary, mitigation measures to offset potential adverse environmental impacts resulting from those projects will be implemented. Since CEQA does not require speculation, and since some of the projects identified in the RTP are subject to delay or a change in priority, it is unnecessary and would be premature to analyze the environmental impacts that individual projects may generate at this stage.
