Subsequent to the adoption of the REA/FEIR, the <br />Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) became the lead agency for the implementation <br />of the project. <br />In July 2016, Addendum No. 1 (Exhibits 2 and 3) to the REA/FEIR was prepared by OCTA to <br />address minor design modifications to the project resulting upon 30 percent completion of design <br />engineering. This environmental re-evaluation, which included noise and vibration, cultural and <br />historic, visual impact, and traffic analysis, concluded that the design modifications would not <br />result in any new significant environmental effects that were not previously analyzed as part of <br />the approved REA/FEIR. A second addendum, Addendum No. 2 (Exhibits 4 and 5), was <br />prepared in February 2017 to address additional minor design modifications that were identified <br />upon advancing to 60 percent completion of design engineering. Similar to Addendum No. 1, <br />Addendum No. 2 concluded that there were no new significant environmental effects that were <br />not previously analyzed as part of the approved REA/FEIR. A summary of design modifications <br />that were analyzed in the two addenda are listed below: <br />55A-1. <br />
