2. Introduction 2.3.2 Potentially Significant Adverse Impacts Three environmental factors have been identified as potentially significant impacts if the proposed project is implemented. These factors are: Air Quality Noise Traffic and Circulation 2,3.3 Unavoidable Significant Adverse Impacts This Draft S EIR identifies no significant and unavoidable adverse irnpacts, as defined by A, that would result from implementation of the proposed project. Unavoidable adverse impacts may be considered significant on a project - specific basis, cumulatively significant, and /or potentially significant. If the City of Santa Ana, as the Lead Agency, determines that unavoidable significant adverse 1rnpacts will result from the project, the City must prepare a Statement of Overriding Considerations before it can approve the project. A Statement of Overriding Considerations states that the decision-making body has balanced the benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable significant environmental effects and has determined that the benefits of the project outweigh the adverse effects and, therefore, the adverse effects are considered to be acceptable. Because no irnpacts were found in the Draft S EIR to be significant and unavoidable, a Statement of Overriding Considerations is not required. 2.4 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE The following documents are incorporated by reference in this Draft SEIR, consistent with Section 15150 of the State CEQA Guidelines, and are available for review at the City of Santa Ana. • Santa Ana Second Main Tracy Project Final Environmental Impact Re oft CH No. 2000091065) .
