Pursuant to Section 15367 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the City of Carson (City) is the Lead Agency for the project. The Lead Agency is the public agency that has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project. The City has the authority for environmental review in accordance with CEQA and certification of the environmental documentation. This CEQA document provides decision-makers and the public with information concerning the potential environmental effects associated with the implementation of the proposed project, and potential ways to reduce or avoid possible environmental impacts. It is intended to be used as a decision-making tool for the City in considering and taking action on the proposed project. Any responsible agency may elect to use this environmental analysis for discretionary actions associated with the implementation of the project. 1.2 Summary of Findings The Initial Study includes a description of the proposed project; an evaluation of the project’s potential environmental impacts; the findings of the environmental analyses; and a recommended Mitigation Program to lessen or avoid the project’s significant adverse impacts on the environment. The Mitigation Program includes Standard Conditions and Requirements, and Mitigation Measures which are included in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the proposed project.
