At the meeting a recommendation of Determination of Non-Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M) with four (4) mitigation measures was approved. A Notice of Environmental Determination Issuance of a Determination of Non-Significance – Mitigated (DNS-M) was issued March 25, 2024 (Exhibit 2). The released determination only included two (2) of the four (4) mitigation measures approved at the ERC meeting. If a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) or DNS-M was previously issued and new information warrants additional analysis, the lead agency can withdraw or modify determination and issue a revised determination with additional supporting information such as a new staff report, or a new or revised checklist or addendum. As such, a revised determination including all four (4) approved mitigation measures (Exhibit 3) is proposed to be released in place of the previous determination.
