Residential development has irreparable consequences. Increased noise disrupts country tone. Population increase impacts local schools. Too much traffic on Brea Canyon Road. Requests that the EIR should include jobs - housing balance, economic impacts, infrastructure, and health effects. An interdisciplinary approach to biology, hydrology, and geology impacts should be taken. All altematives must be identified. Development would destroy the community's visual backdrop. EIR should address unstable slope areas, location of drainage facillties, long-term water supply, cumulative traffic impacts, and noise on animal population. Avoid major impacts on wildlife corridors. Higher demand for recreational facilities. Include a detailed mitigation measures for oil wells. Recognize conflicts in coordinating service providers with development, Request EIR to provlde traffic studies, address natural resources, water allotments, air quality studies, water treatment facilities, and future development information. Requests to recognize SEATAC's notes on the adverse effects on wildlife resources, an evaluation of impacts from high density development, and a review on ail well and geological impacts. Impacts on Metropolitan's facilities, such as pipelines and reservoirs, should be addressed. Groundwater disposal can presents a danger for the Reservoir. Encourages the conservation of water. Requests the DEIR to address the impacts on the wildlife corridor at Harbor Blvd and open space preservation alternatives.
