California Department of Fish and Game U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Chapter 5. Public Involvement response to comments. USFWS, CDFG, and SLT have taken this approach in preparing the Final EIR/EIS. NEPA and CEQA Process The intent of the EIR/EIS is to disclose to the public the environmental impacts associated with the proposed restoration project. The EIR/EIS will be used by the lead agencies when considering approval of the restoration project. Final EIR/EIS As described above, the Final EIR/EIS consists of the revised Draft EIR/EIS, comments, and comment responses. The Final EIR/EIS includes additional information that was not included in the Draft EIR/EIS but that information clarifies, amplifies or makes insignificant modification to the information contained in the Draft EIR/EIS. An NOA for the Final EIR/EIS will be published in the Federal Register and in local newspapers, and the Final EIR/EIS will be filed with the USEPA as required by NEPA. USFWS, CDFG, and SLT will provide notices of the Final EIR/EIS to all who commented on the Draft EIR/EIS. USFWS will wait 30 days before making a decision on the project. Any comments received during this 30-day wait period will be considered in the decision making process. Under CEQA Guidelines, CDFG will send responses to comments to other state agencies prior to certification of the EIR. Record of Decision The final step in the NEPA process is the preparation of the Record of Decision (ROD), which presents a concise summary of the decision made by USFWS. At the conclusion of the 30-day waiting period on the Final EIR/EIS, USFWS will prepare and sign the ROD regarding the proposed restoration. The ROD will summarize the proposed action and alternatives considered in the EIR/EIS; identify and discuss factors considered in the federal lead agency’s decisions; and state how these considerations entered into the final decision. If appropriate, the ROD will state how the proposed restoration project will be implemented and describe any associated mitigation measures. EIR Certification The final step in the CEQA process is certification of the EIR, which includes preparation of a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, adoption of findings, and potentially preparation of a Statement of Overriding Considerations (if required) should the Sears Point Wetland and Watershed Restoration Project be approved. A certified EIR indicates the following: • the document complies with CEQA; Sears Point Wetland and Watershed Restoration Project Final Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement 5-4 April 2012
California Department of Fish and Game U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Chapter 5. Public Involvement • the decision-making body of the lead agency reviewed and considered the Final EIR prior to approving the project; and • the Final EIR reflects the lead agency’s independent judgment and analysis. After approval of the Project, the CEQA lead agency, CDFG, is required to file a Notice of Determination with the Office of Planning and Research and the relevant county clerks within five working days. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (CEQA) CEQA Section 21081.6(a) requires lead agencies to “adopt a reporting and mitigation monitoring program for the changes to the project which it has adopted or made a condition of project approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment.” The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) required by CEQA is included in Appendix G. The MMRP will be implemented by USFWS, CDFG, and SLT during and after project construction.
