Twelve environmental issues will be analyzed in the Chabot Dam EIR: aesthetics/visual quality, biological resources, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, public services (parks), hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, cultural resources, geology and soils, transportation and traffic, recreation, and noise and vibration. The EIR analysis will identify potential impacts resulting from the project for each environmental issue, and propose mitigation measures that either avoid, reduce or eliminate the significance of the impact. The Draft EIR will be released for public review in late 2013, and a public meeting will be held during the 45-day review period. Written comments on the Draft EIR will be addressed in the Final EIR which will be presented for Board action in spring 2014.
