City of Pleasanton Recycled Water Project <br />CEQA Addendum <br />An impact is considered less than significant if the analysis concludes that the impact would <br />cause no substantial adverse change to the environment and that accordingly it would not require <br />mitigation. <br />An impact is considered less than significant with mitigation incorporated if the analysis <br />concludes that, with the inclusion of mitigation measures to which the project proponent has <br />agreed, the impact would cause no substantial adverse change to the environment. <br />• An impact is considered potentially significant if the analysis concludes that the impact exceeds <br />applicable regulatory thresholds of significance and cannot be reduced to a Tess -than -significant <br />level with potentially feasible mitigation. <br />In assessing the impacts of the addition of a booster pump station to the project as originally approved, <br />the City is not assessing whether impacts are significant compared with existing physical conditions (i.e., <br />conditions without implementation of any part of the project). Rather, the City is assessing how the <br />incremental impacts, if any, associated with the addition of a booster pump station compare with the <br />impacts disclosed in the IS/MND. This approach is expressly sanctioned by the governing statutory and <br />regulatory provisions and case law. (See Public Resources Code, § 21166; CEQA Guidelines, § 15162; <br />Bowman v. City of Petaluma (1986) 185 Cal.App.3d 1065, 1078-1082; Temecula Band of Luiseno <br />Mission Indians v. Rancho Cal. Water Dist.
