Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority

Environmental Impact Reports (EIR)
to the
Gold Line Foothill Extension from Pasadena to Azusa Project

Notice:

Final Supplemental EIR No.2 is now available. Prior to approval of the Project, the Construction Authority board of directors will consider whether to certify the document. The board will consider the item at their January 25, 2012 meeting.

Background:

Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), public agencies are charged with the duty to avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental impacts of a project where feasible. This process is undertaken through an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), an assessment that identifies any potentially significant impacts of a proposed project on the environment. The EIR indicates the manner in which those significant impacts can be avoided or significantly lessened; identifies any significant and unavoidable adverse impacts that cannot be mitigated; and identifies reasonable and feasible alternatives to the proposed project that would eliminate any significant adverse environmental impacts or reduce the impacts to a less-than significant level.

Although the Construction Authority prepared and certified a Final EIR for the Pasadena to Azusa Project in 2007, and a Supplemental EIR was certified in January 2011, a number of proposed project refinements have been identified that require a subsequent Supplemental EIR (SEIR No. 2). The Draft SEIR No.2 was released for public review and comment in November 2011 and the Final SEIR No. 2 below is now available:

Please note: Previously certified environmental reports are also available on this website.
