The issue of whether a discussion in an EIR is sufficient is a mixed question of law and fact subject to de novo review, though underlying factual determinations in an EIR are subject to a more deferential standard. The mitigation measures included equipping HVAC units at individual projects with catalyst systems and planting shade trees.
