An EIR must describe the proposed project and its environmental setting, state the objectives sought to be achieved, identify and analyze the significant effects on the environment, state how those impacts can be mitigated or avoided, and identify alternatives to the project, among other requirements. (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21100, subd. (b), 21151; CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15124, 15125.) “The purpose of an environmental impact report is to provide public agencies and the public in general with detailed information about the effect which a proposed project is likely to have on the environment; to list ways in which the significant effects of such a project might be minimized; and to indicate alternatives to such a project.” (Pub. Resources Code, § 21061.) Ultimately, however, “[b]ecause the EIR must be certified or rejected by public officials, it is a document of accountability.” (Laurel Heights, supra, 47 Cal.3d at p. 392.) *445
