Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
S: 14 CCR 15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The project involves planning, coordination, and outreach activities and does not result in physical changes to the environment. No physical construction will occur as part of this project. Rather, the outreach activities funded under this project include, for example, public "ride and drives" and interaction with Monterey Bay area fleet managers to promote EVs. This project has no potential for causing a significant environmental impact, and therefore is categorically exempt under Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, S: 15061(b)(3).
