Connect SoCal Program Environmental Impact Report Addendum #2

Connect SoCal Program Environmental Impact Report Addendum #2

SCAG has prepared this Addendum #2 to the Connect SoCal PEIR to demonstrate that the proposed changes to the Connect SoCal Project List, contained in Connect SoCal Amendment #1. As part of the RTP/SCS Connect SoCal process, SCAG solicited input from the region’s six County Transportation Commissions (CTCs) regarding updates to their individual project lists. The types of changes reflected in the updated Project List include: • Project is new and not currently included in the Project List; • Connect SoCal Revisions in the Project List include: o Revised description; o Revised schedule; and/or o Change in total cost; • Project is a duplicate and needs to be removed or combined with another project in the Project List; • Project is no longer being pursued and the CTC has requested its removal from the Project List; SCAG has assessed potential environmental effects of the proposed changes to the Project List, contained in the Connect SoCal Amendment #1, at the regional program-level, and finds that the additional and modified projects contained in PEIR Addendum #2 are consistent with the region-wide environmental impacts analysis, mitigation measures or alternatives, and Findings of Fact discussed in the previously certified Connect SoCal PEIR and PEIR Addendum #1, and do not result in any of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(1)(2)(3). For these reasons, SCAG has elected to prepare an addendum to the Connect SoCal PEIR rather than a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR, and this PEIR Addendum #2 is prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines
