Ho%st'erey, '~ Mayor Mary Wy SAN DIEGO PIPELINE COMPANY FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM February 18, 1988 CEQA~ THE GUIDELINES With reference to Section 15164 of The California Environmental Quality Act: The Guidelines, it is stated that the Lead Agency shall prepare an addendum to an EIR if: (1) None of the con- ditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred; (2) Only minor technical changes or additions are necessary to make the EIR under consideration adequate under CEQA; and (3) The changes to the EIR made by the addendum do not raise important new issues about the significant effects on the environment. Review of Section 15162 (Item #1 above)' reveals that no additional EIR need be prepared since none of the conditions listed apply to this proposed addendum. Furthermore, with regard to Items #2 and #3 above, changes to the project necessitating this addendum are in fact only minor in detail, and do not raise important new issues about the significant effects on the environment. For these reasons, this addendum to the San Diego Pipeline Final Environmental Impact Report was prepared, in full compliance with CEQA guidelines. PROJECT . DESCRIPTION Ail portions of the project description as detailed in the original Final Environmental Impact Report, dated December 9~ 1987 remain unchanged, with the one exception being the proposed reroute of the pipeline in the area of the I-5 crossing at Tustin Ranch Road. This. proposed reroute is detailed below° Proj e.ct_ Location Due to potential maintenance/operation constraints to result from proposed future development on the originallY proposed pipeline route, the proposed route must be relocated as shown on the attached drawings numbered Line Section SD-6, Sheets 2'0, 20A, and 20B over an approximate total distance of 2525 feet. As the pipeline route proceeds southwesterly down Tustin Ranch Road after leaving Bryan Avenue, instead of continuing directly across I-5 as originally proposed, the proposed reroute turns southeasterly to proceed down Auto Center Drive, on the southbound side, for an approximate distance of 800 feet. At this point the reroute leaves Auto Center Drive and proceeds southwesterly across private property (The Irvine Company), adjacent to their property line, crossing I-5 at a distance approximately 370 feet south of the original proposed point of crossing. On the west side of I-5 the reroute then re-enters upon private property (again The Irvine Company), following their fenceline to the west to rejoin the originally proposed route within Tustin Ranch Road right-of-way. SUMMARY OF IMPACTS. AND MITIGATION MEASURE$.~ Ail impacts and mitigation measures as identified' in the original Final Environmental Impact Report, dated December 9, 1987 remain unchanged. Ail mitigation measures will be strictly followed on the reroute as on the originally proposed pipeline route. Ail affected private property owners are in agreement to the reroute, as is the State Fire Marshal' s office. From an operations and maintenance perspective, the reroute provides better accessibility to the pipeline route, and as a result improves the overall safety of the' line. .,.
