The EIR Process

The EIR is part of the record, quite voluminous, and will not be reproduced in full here. The EIR consists of two separate documents, the Draft EIR and the Final EIR, which cumulatively make up the EIR. We refer to the cumulative documents as the EIR, unless referring to a particular section or discussion, in which case we will specifically reference either the Draft or Final EIR. This section provides a summary of the EIR process and certifies the EIR.

For purposes of evaluating the project under CEQA, the "Proposed Project" identified in the EIR is the project formally presented in SDG&E's application as modified by the amended application. The EIR assumes that SDG&E will meet all the construction specifications and will complete all applicable mitigation measures.
