California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was adopted in 1970 and incorporated in the Public Resources Code Section 21000-21177. Its basic purposes are to: inform governmental decision-makers and the public about the potentially significant environmental effects of proposed activities; identify ways that environmental damage can be avoided or significantly reduced; require changes in a project through the use of alternatives or mitigation measures when feasible, and disclose to the public the reasons why a project was approved if significant environmental effects are involved. CEQA applies to projects undertaken, funded, or requiring an issuance of a permit by a public agency.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was adopted in 1970 and incorporated in the Public Resources Code Section 21000-21177. Its basic purposes are to: inform governmental decision-makers and the public about the potentially significant environmental effects of proposed activities; identify ways that environmental damage can be avoided or significantly reduced; require changes in a project through the use of alternatives or mitigation measures when feasible, and disclose to the public the reasons why a project was approved if significant environmental effects are involved. CEQA applies to projects undertaken, funded, or requiring an issuance of a permit by a public agency.
A Notice of Determination (NOD) is a notice filed with the County Clerk's Office following project approval which describes a project and identifies expected environmental impacts if any. The type of determination is specified in the notice (Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration) and indicates if the California Department of Fish and Wildlife fees are required. A filing of a Notice of Determination starts a 30-day period for a legal challenge.
A Notice of Exemption (NOE) is a brief notice filed at the County Clerk's office, which states the Lead Agency has approved or will carry out a project that is exempt from the requirements of CEQA.
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is a detailed report about a project's environmental effects, ways to minimize the project's significant environmental effects, and reasonable alternatives to the project.
Fish and Wildlife filings are governed by California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 753.5, and Fish and Wildlife Code Collection of Filing Fees.
Environmental impact documents, agendas, and notices are filed with the Office of the County Clerk and are posted for 30 days. All notices will be posted within 24 hours of receipt in the County Clerk’s Office (Public Resources Code 21152(c)).
