An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND/IS) is available for review for the. proposed 41-acre Taylor Yard River Parcel G2 (2070 North San Fernando Road). The project site is located approximately, 3 miles north of downtown Los Angele in the community of Cypress Park of Los Angeles and Council District 1 area of the City of Los Angeles. The project consists of implementation of best management practices (BMPs) as part of water quality improvements including placing hydrodynamic separators at stormwater inlets points; diversion and treatment of all dry weather and a portion of wet weather flows; construction of treatment wetlands; and creation of parkland, and open space.

Although the proposed project identified significant impact in the following areas including biological resources, cultural resources, noise, and transportation/traffic, mitigation measures were applied in those areas to reduce the impact to levels less than significant.
