CEQA was
adopted in 1970 and intended to:
inform
governmental decision-makers and the public about potential environmental effects of a
project;
identify
ways to reduce adverse impacts;
offer
alternatives to the project; and
disclose
to the public why a project was approved.
CEQA applies
to projects undertaken, funded or requiring an issuance of a permit by a public agency.
The AQMD has two basic roles under CEQA:
Lead
Agency; responsible for preparing environmental analysis in the form of an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR), Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), Negative Declaration (ND), or
Environmental Assessment (EA). For information regarding these document types,
please refer to the Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs).
Commenting
Agency Responsibilities; review and comment on air quality analysis prepared by other
public agencies.
