considered all of the potential project environmental impacts and their
magnitude in connection with the proposed Action;

environmental impacts, and, therefore, is one which will not have a significant
impact on the environment; and

of Determination of Non-Significance with respect to this project (a copy of
which said form is on file in the Office ofthe Town Clerk of the Town of
