Document Description
The Phase I North Coast IRWM Plan resulted from the approval of Proposition 50, the Water Security, Clean Drinking Water, Coastal and Beach Protection Act of 2002. The Act encourages regional cooperation in water resources planning by providing grant funding for projects identified in a regional plan that are intended to improve regional water supply reliability, water recycling, water conservation, water quality, stormwater capture and management, flood management, recreation and access, wetlands enhancement and creation, and/or habitat protection and restoration. The Phase I North Coast IRWM Plan is an information gathering and regional planning document which identifies needs and opportunities in the region and projects that would qualify for funding under Proposition 50. Adoption of the Phase I North Coast IRWM Plan would not commit participating agencies to complete or fund particular projects listed in the plan, but rather it would make these projects eligible for funding under Proposition 50 and future bonds.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15306, 15262
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt from the CEQA because it consists of basic data collection and resource evaluation activities which would not result in the disturbance of any environmental resource (CEQA Guidelines §15306). Additionally, the project involves planning studies for possible future actions which the participating agencies have not yet approved. Once the Phase I North Coast IRWM Plan is approved, there will be no legally binding effect on later activities (CEQA Guidelines § 15262).
