Environmental impact reports shall contain the <br /> information outlined in this article . <br /> Sec. 7. 2 Description of Project. The description of the project shall <br /> 1 contain the following information but should not supply ex- <br /> tensive detail beyond that needed for evaluation and review <br /> of the environmental impact . <br /> (a) The precise location and boundaries of the proposed <br /> project shall be shown on a detailed map, preferably <br /> topographic .
