• 0 I M Sec . 7 . 4 Environmental Impact . All phases t a project t r it t be considered when evaluating its impact: an tile i! 'pent : planning, acquisition, development and epeaatiea . The following subjects Shall be discussed , pr-feral .y separate sections or paragraphs : (a) The Environmental Impact of the Proposed Action : Describe the direct and indirect impacts of the pro- ject on. the environment , giving due consideration to both the short-term and _long-term effects . It should include specifics of the area, the resources involved, physical changes ) alterations to ecological systems and changes induced in population distribu- tion, population concentration, the human use of the land (including commercial and residential develop- ment) and other aspects of the resource base such as water, scenic quality and public. service . Economic information may be included in an EIR where deemed nedessary to evaluate the project . (b) Any Adverse Environmental Effects Which Cannot Be Avoided if the Prop.osal is Implemented : Describe any adverse impacts , including those which ' can be reduced to an insignificant level but not eliminated. Where there are impacts that cannot be reduced without imposing an alternative design , their implications and the reasons why the project is being proposed, notwithstanding their effect , should be described in detail . Do not neglect impacts on any aesthetically or culturally valuable surroundings , human health, standards of living, or environmental policies set forth in Sections 21000 and 21001, of the CEQA which would be sacrificed . Also it shall describe the parties affected and any obligation raised by them . ( c) Mitigation Measures Proposed to Minimize the Impact 1 Describe any mitigation measures written into the project plan to reduce significant environmentally adverse impacts to insignificant levels , and the basis for considering these levels acceptable . 1 Where a particualr mitigation measure has been chosen from among several. alternatives should he discussed and reasons should be given for the choice made , (d.) Alternatives to the Proposed Action : Consider two kinds of alternatives : First , the alter- native kinds of projects or locations of the same project , which could feasibly attain the basic ob- jectives of the project , and why they were rejected in favor of the ultimate choice . The specific alternative of no project must always be evaluated , along with the impact . Second, describe the alternative -2.1-
