established by the County. The Scope of Services for the EIR was
developed in consultation with the staffs of the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District, the State of Department of Health
Services, the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control
Board, and the County' s Health Services Department.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
