Document Description
The Metropolitan Water District of Souther California (Metropolitan) proposes to make upgrades to the existing industrial process water-use efficiency program in order to encourage greater participation by businesses. Upgrades to program elements include: (1) consideration by Metropolitan of all proposals, regardless of project size, as opposed to the previous criteria that required projects to save at least 10 acre-feet per year, and (2) providing member agencies a choice of how to provide incentive payments to the industrial customer, either through Metropolitan contracting directly with the inductrial customer, or through the retail or member agency working directly with the industrial customer.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
sec 15301 and 15378(b)(4)
Reasons for Exemption
The action involves financial incentives to industrial customers for installation and modification of warer-use efficiency equipment or other capital/operational improvements at existing private facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use and no possibility of significantly impacting the physical environment. The fiscal aspects of the financial incentives themselves and potential agreements with member agencies or industrial customers are not subject to CEQA because it involves other governmental fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
