Front 1

What three steps are part of the EIR DECISION process

Back 1

Consider and certify e i r, approve project, issue permit

Front 2

Three types of post EIR documents

Back 2

Subsequent eir, supplemental eir addendum to eir

Front 3

Screening criteria for alternatives

Back 3

Infeasible, failure to meet most of project objectives, does not reduce environmental impacts

Front 4

What is effective mitigation

Back 4

Requires explanation of objectives and

Who is responsible for implementation/oversight

What performance criteria/steps if criteria aren't met

How implemented

When

Where

Front 5

Definition of feasible mitigation

Back 5

Capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable amount Of time taking into account, economic environmental social legal Tech factors

Front 6

All categories of environmental impacts

Back 6

Direct, indirect, growth inducing, cumulative, long-term, short-term, residual

Front 7

Contents of a project description

Back 7

Project objectives, location, characteristics, foreseeable future phases, required approvals or permits, agencies using the e i r, phasing

Front 8

Required contents of an e i r

Back 8

Executive summary, project description, environmental setting, environmental impact analysis, Alternatives analysis, significant irreversible changes, references and organizations consulted, statement of insig. Impacts

Front 9

Contents of the EIA section of an eir

Back 9

Project impact, growth inducing impacts, cumulative impacts, mitigation measures, residual impacts

Front 10

(all) Phases of an e i r process

Back 10

Initial study, NOP, scoping , admin draft eir, draft e i r +public circulation, public notice of availability, notice of completion , review periods, final e i r + response to comments, certifying final with findings, agency decision making such as findings/mmrp/SOC, noticing requirements

Front 11

3 Phases or stages of e i r process

Back 11

Initiation, preparation, finalization

Front 12

Fair argument standard threshold

Back 12

An e I R must be prepared when it can be fairly argued, based on substantial evidence, and light of the whole record, that a project may have a significant environmental effect

Front 13

Four phases of CEQA process

Back 13

Preliminary review, initial study, Nd/mnd/eir, decision documents

Front 14

Three primary components of eia

Back 14

Description of the affected environment, prediction of impacts, impact mitigation

Front 15

Definition of eia

Back 15

The process of identifying predicting evaluating and mitigating the biophysical social and other relevant effects of development prior to Major decisions being taken

Front 16

Key components of the executive summary

Back 16

Significant effects, mitigation measures, areas of known controversy, issues raised by agency / public, unresolved issues

Front 17

Contents of environmental setting

Back 17

Description of physical environmental conditions at the time of the NOP, site description of, project vicinity, Regional description, policy and planning context

Front 18

Mitigation measure - avoid

Back 18

For the impact all together by not taking certain actions or parts of them

Front 19

Mitigation measure - minimize reduce or eliminate

Back 19

Minimize impacts by limiting degree of action and implementation, reduce or eliminate the impact overtime through preservation and maintenance during action

Front 20

Mitigation measure - rectify

Back 20

Rectify the impacts by repairing rehabilitating or restoring the affected environment

Front 21

Mitigation measure - compensate

Back 21

Compensate for impacts by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments

Front 22

Difference between improper and proper deferral of mitigation

Back 22

Proper deferral generally has more commitments, standards as well as methods for implementation. Improper is "prepare erosion plan"

Front 23

Importance and creation of mmrp

Back 23

Designed to ensure compliance during project implementation, is adopted and certified separately from the e i r

Front 24

Objectives of mmrp

Back 24

Answers implementation of mitigation, allows for adaptive management, provides feedback on mitigation, provides learning opportunities for improving mitigation in future, identifies need for enforcement action to prevent damage

Front 25

Contents of an NOP

Back 25

Description, location, public hearing agency, discussion of the probable env. Effects, address where docs can be viewed
