(a) Upon initiating a Type I project, the vice chancellor for capital facilities shall direct that an environmental impact assessment form be prepared. The completed environmental impact assessment form shall be reviewed by an environmental quality review committee, whose membership shall contain one appointee of the vice chancellor for capital facilities and two appointees of the general manager of the State University Construction Fund.

(b) The environmental impact assessment form shall contain sufficient information for the environmental quality review committee to conduct an environmental analysis to determine whether the project may or will not have a significant effect on the environment, and will include identification of those other agencies, including Federal agencies, which have a relation to the project.

(c) Programmatic or generic environmental impact statements, master or campus-wide statements, or statements for comprehensive campus plans may be appropriate for use by the environmental quality review committee to assess the environmental effects of (1) a number of separate projects on a given campus which if considered singly may have minor effects, but if considered together may have significant effects, (2) a chain of contemplated projects, (3) separate projects having generic or common impacts, or (4) programs or plans having wide application or restricting the range of future alternative policies or projects. Such statements will eliminate multiple sequential reviews of the same or similar actions. No further environmental impact statements need be prepared for projects which are included in such a statement.

(d) However, amendments or supplements to such statements must be prepared to reflect impacts which are not addressed or adequately analyzed in such a statement as initially prepared. The public and other agencies shall be informed of such additions through the same notification channels specified in section 314.6 of this Part.
