(,4) revisions on the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to by, the
applicant before the proposed negative declaration and onotial study are released
fog public review would avid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where
clearly no significant effect on the environment would occur, and
(B) there as no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the Dead

When there is substantial evidences in light of the whole record,
that the project may have a significant effect ®n the environment.
EIR conclusions must be based ®n substantial evidence (e.g.,
technical studies)
Much more detailed than an IS
