Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
State CEQA Guidelines section 15378 (b)
Reasons for Exemption
The Resolution authorizing the General Manager to apply
for grant funding and to execute a grant agreement does
not constitute a “project” under CEQA. The Board did
not commit to approve or undertake the Saugus Wells 3 &
4 (Replacement Wells) Well Equipment and Site
Improvement Project. The Board reserved all necessary
discretionary authority to approve, deny, or condition the
Replacement Wells Equipment and Site Improvement
Project, including the authority to adopt any mitigation
measures or alternatives necessary to avoid or
substantially lessen the environmental impacts of the
Project. As noted in the Resolution proposed for adoption,
any approval of the Replacement Wells Equipment and
Site Improvement Project itself is expressly conditioned
on CEQA review. As such, approval of the Resolution
did not constitute an approval of the Replacement Wells
Project and so is not a decision subject to CEQA.
