INTRODUCTION The Doris Avenue/Patterson Avenue Educational Facilities Project Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2017051041) (hereafter “Final EIR” or “FEIR”) has been prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to address the potential environmental effects of the Doris Avenue/Patterson Avenue Educational Facilities Project and associated actions (hereafter “Proposed Project”) and considered by the Oxnard School District (hereinafter “district”) in connection with its public consideration of requested approvals for the Proposed Project. This Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR) has been prepared to describe the disposition of environmental issues raised in the comments received on the proposed project’s Draft EIR (Final EIR Vol.II). Evaluating the potential impacts of the proposed project on the environment and responding to comments is an essential part of the environmental review process required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (California Public Resources Code (PRC) § 21000 et seq.). This Final EIR has been completed in accordance with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14 of Section 15132 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) (14CCR § 15132)). 1.1 FINAL EIR REQUIREMENTS Table 1-1 identifies the required content of a Final EIR per Section 15132 of the CEQA Guidelines and where it can be located within this document.

Final EIR Volume I, Section 3.0 Draft EIR Errata Volume I of the Final EIR for the proposed project has been prepared to provide responses to comments received on the Draft EIR and is to be used in conjunction with, rather than in place of, the Draft EIR. The complete Draft EIR is included as Volume II of the Final EIR. Therefore, the information in this Final EIR, which incorporates the Draft EIR in Volume II, fulfills state CEQA requirements for a complete EIR. The Final EIR provides revisions for clarification or amplification of information already in the record. In no instances do the errata (Final EIR Volume 1, Section 3.0) provide substantial new information or indicate a new impact or increase in the severity of an impact identified in the Draft EIR. In compliance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15090, prior to approving a project the lead agency shall certify that: • The Final EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA. • The Final EIR was presented to the decision-making body of the Lead Agency, and that the decision- making body reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final EIR prior to approving the project; and • The Final EIR reflects the lead agency’s independent judgement and analysis. 1-1 Final Environmental Impact Report, Volume I Doris Avenue/Patterson Road Educational Facilities Project Tetra Tech, Inc.
