City of Pleasanton Recycled Water Project CEQA Addendum described in subsection (A) occurs, a subsequent EIR or negative declaration shall only be prepared by the public agency which grants the next discretionary approval for the project, if any. In this situation no other responsible agency shall grant an approval for the project until the subsequent EIR has been certified or subsequent negative declaration adopted. (D) A subsequent EIR or subsequent negative declaration shall be given the same notice and public review as required under Section 15087 or Section 15072. A subsequent EIR or negative declaration shall state where the previous document is available and can be reviewed. As described in Chapter 3 of this Addendum, none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines section 15162 (which implements Public Resources Code section 21166) has occurred. Under such circumstances, CEQA Guidelines section 15164 allows for the preparation of an Addendum as described below: 15164. Addendum to an EIR or Negative Declaration (A) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. (B) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. (C) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration. (D) The decision making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. (E) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. 1.2 Purpose of this Addendum The purpose of this Addendum is to evaluate the addition of a booster pump station as a modification to the original project analyzed in the IS/MND and to demonstrate that the Proposed changes do not trigger any of the conditions described above. Based on the analysis provided below, an Addendum to the IS/MND is the appropriate CEQA document. 1.3 Impact Terminology This Addendum uses the terminology below to describe the levels of significance of impacts that the IS/MND concluded that Proposed Project would have. This terminology is helpful for determining how the environmental impacts, if any, of the proposed new booster pump station compare to the environmental impacts described in the IS/MND. • The proposed project is considered to have no impact on a particular resource topic if the analysis concludes that it would not affect that particular resource.
