Document Description
The San Francisco to San Jose Project Section Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR)/Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was prepared as a joint document to meet all pertinent requirements of both the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Specifically, the environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being or have been carried out by the State of California pursuant to 23 United States Code Section 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) dated July 23, 2019, and executed by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the State of California. Under that MOU, the Authority is the project’s lead agency under NEPA. Prior to the July 23, 2019 MOU, the FRA was the federal lead agency. Accordingly, and per the above, the California High-Speed Rail Authority is both the CEQA and NEPA lead agency for this project. Volume 4 of this Final EIR/EIS considers all comments received during the comment period for the Draft EIR/EIS and for the Revised Draft EIR/Supplemental Draft EIS and provides responses to those comments. This document considers, describes, and summarizes at a project level of analysis the environmental impacts of a proposed high-speed rail system for intercity travel between San Francisco and San Jose, California. Two end-to-end project alternatives and a No Project Alternative are analyzed. Impact Avoidance and Minimization Features, along with mitigation measures, are described to guide HSR environmental review to avoid or minimize potential impacts.
