preparation of an EIR for a proposed project where the project is
subject to a discretionary action by a California unit of
government and where there is reason to believe that the proposed
project would result in one or more significant ( i.e. , adverse)
environmental impacts. The project requires�the discretionary
approval of the County in the form of a revision to the
landfill' s solid Waste Facilities Permit.

Potentially significant environmental impacts identified at this
time resulting from the height increase would include aesthetics
( impaired views from nearby residential development) , increased
traffic, and groundwater pollution through loading a closed
hazardous waste landfill.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to execute this contract would delay the preparation of
the Environmental Impact Report and, subsequently, the project
itself.
