A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SEAL BEACH FINDING THE DRAFT
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR DRAFT
REGIONAL PLAN AMENDMENT: AVIATION ELEMENT,
JULY, 1980, INCOMPLETE ANO INAOEQUATE
WHEREAS, the Southern California Association of Governments, prepared
the Southern California Aviation Study: Technical Report,
July, 1980 and Draft E.I.R. for Draft Regional Plan Amendment;
Aviation Element, July, 1980 for a proposed off-shore airport; and
WHEREAS, the Seal Beach City Council directed the Seal Beach Environmental
Quality Control Board to study the Technical Report and Draft
E.I.R. to determine potential impacts on the City of Seal Beach
as well as to determine the completeness of the documents; and
WHEREAS, after a comprehensive review of both documents, the Environmental
Quality Control Board found that the documents are inadequate in
the following respects:
1. The Study and Oraft E.I.R. does not address any potential noise
problems which may arise from changing wind patterns. Noise and
air pollutants could be measurably affected by changing wind
patterns as could an impact on shoreline activities and boating.
2. The Study and Draft E.I.R. does not adequately address the impact
or mitigation measures, if any, on the current air traffic corridors
above the City of Sea} Beach.
3. The Study and Draft E.I.R. does not present a sufficient discussion
of any potential change to "wave patterns and currents" which may
result from an off-shore airport and their impact on the existing
coas tl i ne.
4. The Study and Draft E.I.R. does not adequately address the potential
impacts on activities that take place on the current beaches,
shoreline and ocean. Such activities as sport fishing, commercial
fishing, boating, swimming and surfing should be addressed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Seal Beach
does hereby oppose the certification of the E.I,R, until such time as
the areas of inadequacy are thoroughly addressed as provided for in
the California Environmental Quality Act.
