Appendix A State Environmental Quality Review FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM SEQR ~t:r?ose: The full EAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an orderly manner, whether a project :r actien may be significant. The question of whether an action may be significant is not always easy to answer. Frequent- :. there are aspects of a project that are subjective or unmeasureable. It is also understood that those who determine ;gnificance may have little or no formal knowledge or the environment or may be technically e~pert in environmental ~nalysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware or the broader concerns affecting :he question or significance. The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination ;Jrccess has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible to allow introduction or information to fit a project or action. ~\JII EAF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts: Part 1: Provides objective data and inrormation about a given project and its site. By identifying basic project data, it assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in PartS 2 and 3. Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action. It provides. guidance as to whether an impact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially- large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced. Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the impact is actually important. DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE- Type 1 and Unlisted Actions Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project: 0 Part 1 0 Part 2 OPart 3 Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (PartS 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting inrormation, and considering both the magi tude and importance of each impact, it is reasonably determined by the lead agency that: o A. The project will not result in any large and important impact!s) and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration will be prepared. o B. Although the project could have a significant effect on the environment. there will not be a significant effect for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3 have been required, thererore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared.. o C. The project may result in one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a positive declaration will be prepared. . A Conditioned Negative Declaration is only valid for Unlisted Actions Bradford Companies Name of Action Name of Lead Agency Print or Type ~ame of Respon~ible Officer in Lead Agency Title of Responsible Officer Signature of Responsible Officer in Lead Agency Signature of Preparer (If different from re~ponsible officer) Date 1 ......-..-.......

Date Jan. 15. 1990 Title Consulting Engineer If the ad" s in the Coasta Area, and you are a state agency, complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment. 5 Part 2-PROJECT IMPACTS AND THElR MAGNITUDE Responsibility of Lead Agency ;~neral Information (Read Carefully) In completing the. form the reviewer should be guided by the question: Have my responses and determinations bee., reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to be an expert environmental analyst. Identifying that an impact will be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is a/so necessarily significant. Any large impact must be evaluated in PART 3 to determine significance. Identjfying an impact in column 2 simpjy asks that it be looked at further. The Examples provided are to assist the reviewer by showing types of impacts and wherever possible the threshold of magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally applicable throughout the State and for most situations. But, for any specific project or site other examples and/or lower thresholds may be appropriate ror a Potential Large Impact response. thus requiring evaluation in Part 3. The impacts of each project. on each site. in each locality, will vary. Therefore. the examples are illustrative and have been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list or impacts and thresholds to answer each question. The number or examples per question does not indicate the importance of each question. In identifying impacts, consider long term, short term and cumlative effects. lstructions (Read carefully) Answer each of the 19 questions in PART 2. Answer Yes if there will be any impact. Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers. If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box (column 1 or 2) to indicate the potential size of the impact. If impact threshold equals or exceeds any example provided. check column 2. If impact will occur but threshold is lower than example, check column 1. If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3. if a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by cnange(s) in the project to a small to moderate impact, also check the Yes box in column 3. A No response inaicates that such a reduction is not possible. This must be explained in Part 3. IMPACT ON LAND Will the proposed action result in a physical change to the project site? .NO eYES Examples that would apply to column 2 Any construction on slopes or 15% or greater, (15 foot rise per 100 foot of length), or where the general slopes in the project area exceed 1 0 ~'O .

Construction on land where bedrock is exposed or generally within 3 feet of existing ground surface. Construction that will continue for more than 1 year or involve more :han one phase or stage. Excavation for mining purposes that would remove more than 1,000 :on5 of natural material (Le., rock or soil) per year. ::onstruction or expansion of a sanitary. landfill. ::onstruction in a designated floodway.

Brierly describe the impact. Describe (if applicable) how the impact could be mitigated or reduced to a small to moderate impact by project change(s). 3. Based on the inrormation available, decide if it is reasonable to conclude that this impact is important. To answer the question or importance, consider: . The probability of the impact occurring . The duration of the impact . Its irreversibility, including permanently lost resources of value . Whether the impact can or will be controlled . The regional consequence of the impact . Its potential divergence from local needs and goals . Whether known objections to the project relate to this impact. (Continue on attachments) Part 3-EVALUATION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF IMPACTS Jf 11
