3.2.3 Air Quality These checklist questions were modified to delete Checklist Question Ill.b regarding violation of air quality standards and to modify the question regarding odors. All of the checklist questions as presented in the updated Appendix G checklist are addressed in Section 4.2, Air Quality, of the Draft EIR portion of the Certified EIR. 3.2.4 Biological Resources Checklist Question IV.c was modified to remove the reference to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. This modification does not affect the analysis of biological resources provided in Section 4.3, Biological Resources, of the Draft EIR portion of the Certified EIR. 3.2.5 Cultural Resources These modifications consisted of a minor word change to Checklist Question V.a and moving Checklist Question V.c from the cultural resources subsection to the geology subsection of Appendix G. Impacts on cultural resources are addressed in Section 4.4, Cultural Resources, of the Draft EIR portion of the Certified EIR. 3.2.6 Energy The modifications included creating a separate subsection for energy and also incorporating language from Appendix F of the CEQA Guidelines. These added checklist questions have already been addressed in Section 4.13, Utilities and Service Systems, of the Draft EIR portion of the Certified EIR. 3.2.7 Geology and Soils These checklist questions were modified to focus on both the direct and indirect impacts associated with geology and soils and to move the analysis of paleontological resources to this topic (from the cultural resources section). Impacts on geology and soils are fully addressed in Section 4.5, Geology and Soils, of the Draft EIR portion of the Certified EIR. Further, impacts with respect to paleontological resources are addressed in Section 4.4, Cultural Resources, of the Draft EIR portion of the Certified EIR. 3.2.8 Greenhouse Gas Emissions This topic was not included in the 2006 CEQA Guidelines, and therefore the Certified EIR did not include analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, both the existence and potential impacts of carbon dioxide and other GHG emissions from fossil fuel combustion and other activities were known and understood at the time the Certified EIR was certified. Therefore, potential GHG impacts do not constitute new information that would require a subsequent EIR.
