WHEREAS, the proposed project is considered a "project" pursuant to the terms of

WHEREAS, an initial study was prepared for said project; and

individually nor cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife resources, as defined in
Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code; and
WHEREAS, a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact was prepared for the
proposed project pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
of 1970, as amended, and mitigation measures are included in said Negative Declaration

insignificance.
