On thc basis of this initial evaluation:
y I find tlic proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
• effect on the environment, and a NTiGVlTVE DECLAI ATION will
be prepared.
X find that although the proposed project could have a
significiint effect on the environment, tlicre will not be
a "significant effect in this case because the mitigation
•measures dcsciibed on an attached sheet have been added
to the project.^ A conditional negative declaration will
will be prepared,
I find thc proposed project M-\Y have a significant effect
on the environ:ncnt, and'an ENVIROIMIENTAL IMPACT REPORT
