General Information
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 potential significant environmental effects of proposed activities;
identify ways that environmental damage can be avoided or significantly reduced; require changes in 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.
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.
