to both the shoreline and the Gateway Open Space Preservation Site and will be maintained by the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy (SELC). Based on this location and alignment, the grade-separated underpass will not have a significant effect on the environment and is expected to have beneficial impacts to the community of Solana Beach. The Final EIR for the North Coast Corridor Project examined the potential impacts of the Solana Beach Pedestrian Pathway, which crosses underneath the North County Transit District’s rail alignment and provides access to areas of Solana Beach east of the Project alignment. The Final EIR identified no potential impacts for the San Elijo Lagoon underpass. Because there are no significant environment impacts resulting from the project that is before the Commission, the project is exempt from CEQA. (CEQA Guideline 15061(b)(3).) Accordingly, no further findings are required under CEQA. The Commission’s Energy Division will file a Notice of Determination with the CEQA clearinghouse stating that the Commission considered the environmental documents related to the proposed railroad crossing. 3. Filing, Safety and Engineering Requirements Applications for the construction of grade-separated railroad crossings must meet the requirements of Rule 3.11 as well as the minimum clearance requirements of General Order (GO) 26-D. SED’s response stated that SED staff engaged in multiple site visits to the proposed railroad crossing location and attended a field diagnostic review meeting at the proposed railroad crossing. After a review of the application, SED staff also found that the application complies with applicable Commission Rules and General Orders.
