The North Connector Project

General Information

Introduction:

The Solano Transportation Authority (STA) is the Lead Agency for the project under CEQA
and as such has prepared this Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which examines the
potential environmental impacts of the North Connector Project (Project) located in Solano County, California. This document evaluates the Project and examines a reasonable range of Project alternatives. The document includes discussion of the existing environment that could be affected by the Project, the potential impacts that are associated with implementation of the Project, and proposed avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures.

What should I do?
