The ELS will (amine the potential impact of the project on the services and costs the City fire department and related emergency services. The ill examine possible mttgative measures. may be necessary at some point in the future to take corrective tions to mitigate a hazardous situation or problem at thc project re. The E. IS will estimate' the potential costs of these actions and he impact on local, regional and state governments. The applicant's roposed plans 'and other available programs to address these situa- t, tons and their adequacy will be analyzed. I~PA~T MI.T IGAT.ION P~teqtial measures to reduce or eliminate any adverse environmental, eco- ~mid, employment or sociological impact of the project will be included !i~r t~e EIS. Spe_cific mitigation measures will be identified in response it~ ti~e potential impacts identified in each section of the EIS. For le~am~ile, if the EIS identifies potential noise i:.~pacts associated with ~t~e dperation of the expansion, appropriate mitigative measures will be :d~scQssed. · ' .A~.
