Sec. 7.13 Incorporation by Reference. 7.14 ' Sec . (a) An EIR may incorporate by reference all or portions of another document which is a matter of public record or is generally available to the public. Where all or part of another document is incorporated by reference, the incorporated language shall be considered to be set forth in full as part of the text of the EIR. (b) Where part of another document is incorporated by refer- ence, such other document shall be made available to the public for inspection at a public place or public building. The EIR shall state where the incorporated documents shall be made available to the public in an office of the Lead Agency in the county where the pro- Ject would be carried out or in one or more public buildings such as county offices or public libraries if the Lead Agency does not have an office in the county. (C) Where an EIR uses incorporation by reference, the in- corporated part of the referenced document shall be briefly described if the data or information cannot be summarized. The relationship between the incorporated part of the referenced document and the EIR shall be described. Standards for Adequacy of an EIR. An EIR should be prepared with a sufficient degree of analysis to provide decision- makers with information which enables them to make a decision which intelligently takes account of environmental conse- quences. An evaluation of the environmental effects of a proposed project need not be exhaustive, but the sufficiency of an EIR is to be reviewed in the light of what is reasonably feasible. Disagreement among experts does not make an EIR inadequate. The courts have looked not for perfection but for adequacy, completeness, and a good faith effort at full disclosure. -44-
