Planning Commission Resolution No . 20- 1987 .
The Board hereby CERTIFIES that the Environmental Iwpact

environmental impact of the San Ramon Creek Flood Control
Project , has been completed in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act , and it has reviewed and considered the
information contained therein . This Board ACKNOWLEDGES that the
project would have certain environmental effects and ADOPTS the
findings and mitigation measures expressed in Planning Commission
Resolution No . 20- 1987 which mitigate those effects .
This Board further ALKNOWLEDLES that the project contained
in the Final Environmental Impact Report will have certain
environmental effects which have been only partially mitigated or
which have not been mitigated . These effects are as follows :
Future land use and hydrology ; traffic and circulation ;
water quality; wildlife and vegetation ; geology, soils and
earthwork ; noise ; air quality ; cultural resources ; and
growth inducement .
RESOLUTION 87/ 364
This project alternative was deemed best when all impacts
were considered . There is a great long-range economic and social
benefit attributable to flood protection and subsequent removal
of areas from the HUD flood hazard areas . Also , on an economic
basis , this is the lowest cost alternative which provides flood
protection . For these reasons , the Board FINDS that these
overriding social and economic needs outweigh the physical
impacts which may be attributable to the proposed project . The
project as --proposed will correct the existing significant
negative impact of flooding .
The Board hereby APPROVES the project and DIRECTS the Chief
Engineer to commence acquisition of the various rights of way
needed for the project and to file with the County Clerk a Notice
of Determination for this project .
1 hereby certify that this Is a true and correct copy of
