Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
Guidelines, 14 Cal. Code Regs. 15061(b)(3).
Reasons for Exemption
Emissions banking does not authorize or result in any direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical or
operational changes at the facility, air emissions, or impacts to the environment, so it is not a "project" pursuant
to CEQA. In addition, the Air District has concluded with certainty, based on materials in the applicant's permit
application including a CEQA Appendix H, that the issuance of these IERCs has no potential to result in any
additional or different environmental impacts beyond what is already entailed in the applicant's existing use of
the source. Therefore, if issuance of the IERCs were a "project" pursuant to CEQA, it would be subject to the
"common sense" exemption
