1. Executive Summary Supplement to an EIR Supplement to an EIR is authorized by State CEQA Guidelines and cEQA statues (Section 1 6163, Public Resources Code Section 21166) as follows- (a) The Dead or Responsible Agency may choose to prepare a supplement to an EIR rather than a subsequent EIR if: 1 Any of the conditions described in Section 16162 would require the preparation of a subsequent EIR (see below), and (2) QnIy minor additions or changes would be necessary to make the previous EIR adequately apply to the project in the changed situation. (b ) The supplement to the EIR need contain only the information necessary to make the previous EIR adequate for the project as revised. (c ) A supplement to are EIR shall be given the same kind of notice and public review as is given to a draft EIR under Section 15087. d supplement to an EIR may be circulated by itself without recirculating the previous draft or final EIR. (e ) When the agency decides whether to approve the project, the decision -mal ing body shall consider the previous EIR as revised by the s upplemental El R. A finding under Section 1 5091 shall be made for each significant effect shown in the previous Ells as revised. Conditions That Require Preparation of a Subsequent EIR Pursuantto CEQA Guidelines and CEQA statues (Section 1 5162, Public Resources code Section 21166), a Subsequent EIR must be prepared if: (a ) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the environmental impact report. b Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken which will require major revisions in the environmental impact report. {c New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been mown at the time the environmental impact report was certified as complete, becomes available. This S upplement to the El contains only the information necessary to make the certified Santa Ana Second Main Track EIR adequately apply to the project in the changed situation. In this way, the S EIR is prepared to augment, through supplementation, the previously certified EIR to the extent necessary to address the conditions described in Section 1 5163 of the cEQA Gu idelines. The lead agency is required to consider the prior EIR as revised by the supplement in its deliberations whether to approve the project. Therefore, the Santa Ana Second Main Tracy Final EIR is included herein by reference. Findings are required for each significant effect shown in the previous EIR. Because this document is a supplement to the previous EIR, impacts and conditions presented in the previous EIR will serge as the primary base of comparison for analysis. This impact analysis will be based on the incremental change between the impacts disclosed for the original project and those anticipated for the proposed project.
