Document Description
The Department of Water Resources provides the opportunity for local agencies to request modification to the Bulletin 118 groundwater basins per California Water Code section 10722.2. Based on these modifications some previously identified basins subject to critical conditions of overdraft must be evaluated for changes.
The Department has determined that the basin boundary modifications and subsequent critical condition of overdraft evaluation do not represent a project under CEQA, and that if it were a project it would be eligible for the "common sense" exemption (CEQA Guidelines S15061 (b)(3)) on the grounds that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
