EXHIBIT "B"
The Atascadero City Council finds that:
1 . The EIR has been completed in compliance with CEQA.
2. The certified EIR was presented to the Atascadero City Council and was
considered prior to Council approval of the Source Reduction and Recycling
Element and the Household Hazardous Waste Element.
3. Specific solid waste management program changes or alterations are required
that avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect of the
project as identified in the EIR.
4. The proposed programs and facilities proposed in the plans will facilitate the
proper handling and disposal of waste materials, recyclables, and household
hazardous waste.
5. The implementation of the proposed mitigation measures where and when
individual projects or programs are initiated will avoid or mitigate potential
negative environmental impacts.
6. The SRRE and HHWE include extensive listings of potential programs that may
be needed to accomplish State-mandated waste reduction goals. However,
only those programs that are necessary to meet the goals are likely to occur.
Thus, the EIR addresses a broad range of possibilities that will probably far
exceed the actual degree of program implementation that will be occurring.
