3. Environmental Checklist San Leandro Treatment Wetland IS/MND 3-71 February 2024 3.22. Mandatory Findings of Significance ISSUES: MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT IMPACT LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT NO IMPACT a) Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? ☐ ☒ ☐ ☐ b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) ☐ ☐ ☒ ☐ c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? ☐ ☐ ☒ ☐ Discussion a) Potential for significant non-cumulative impacts: The impact analyses outlined in the preceding sections demonstrate that the Proposed Project is not anticipated to have a substantial adverse effect on the environmental quality. Nevertheless, it is acknowledged that the Proposed Project does have the potential to yield noteworthy impacts in specific areas, including air quality, biological resources, hazards and hazardous materials, cultural resources, and tribal cultural resources. The incorporation and execution of the prescribed mitigation measures, as delineated in this document, are designed to mitigate all potentially substantial impacts associated with the Project, reducing them to levels that are considered non-significant. Consequently, the Proposed Project is expected to have no adverse effects on the environmental quality and will not lead to significant reductions in the habitat of fish or wildlife species, cause a decline in fish or wildlife populations to non-sustainable levels, pose a threat to the existence of a plant or animal community, substantially diminish the quantity or limit the distribution of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eradicate important instances of significant historical or prehistorical periods in California history. Impact Designation: Less than Significant with Mitigation b) Potential for significant cumulative impacts: As addressed in each of the impact analyses, the Proposed Project is not expected to result in cumulatively significant impacts. Impact Designation: Less than Significant Impact
