substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a
fish or wildlife species to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict
the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate
important examples of periods of California history or prehistory.

achieve short term to the disadvantage of long term environmental

cumulatively considerable, through the inco"rporation of mitigation
measures should future traffic volumes warrant initiation of
improvements .
