the Negative Declaration and the Initial Study for the project.

to adversely effect the environment or resources under the protection
of the California Department of Fish and Game, and no significant
impacts are anticipated as a result of the purchase of the Valencia

C. A proposed Negative Declaration was prepared for the project based on
the Initial Study findings and the determination that the proposed
project could not have a significant effect on the Environment.
d. A notice of environmental assessment was posted and advertised, and
the proposed Negative Declaration was made available for a 30 day,
review period in compliance with CEQA.
e. No correspondence regarding the project has been received from any
agency, or from the public, during the 30 day review period.
