Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15282(u)
Reasons for Exemption
The approval by the Casitas Municipal Water District Board of Directors of the term sheet effectuating the transfer of Table A State Water Project supply from the Casitas Municipal Water District to the Central Coast Water Authority is statutorily exempt from substantive CEQA review under State CEQA Guidelines section 15282(u), which exempts temporary changes in the point of diversion, place of use, or purpose of use due to a transfer or exchange of water or water rights. Here, the proposed Project involves the transfer of up to 250 Acre-Feet of Casitas Municipal Water District’s 2022 Table A State Water Project water supply. The Project merely changes the place of use, and does not involve construction of any additional facilities to service the Project. As the Project involves a one-year transfer, it also satisfies the definition of “temporary change” pursuant to Water Code section 1728.
