Revision as of 20:56, 1 April 2013

  • The lead agency is a public agency that is responsible for carrying out its own project, or is responsible for overseeing a private project. The precise definition in the text of CEQA is:
Lead agency means the public agency which has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project which may have a significant effect upon the environment.

[1] [2]

Lead Agency Procedures

  • Each public agency must adopt guidelines, criteria and specific procedures consistent with CEQA statute and guidelines. The implemented procedures should contain at least provisions for:
  1. Identifying activites that are exempt from CEQA, including:
    1. Provisions for evaluating a proposed activity to determine if there will be a significant effect on the environment.
    2. Projects or permits for which the public agency has only ministerial authority (some examples presumed to be ministerial include issuance of building permits, issuance of business licences, approval of final subdivision maps, approval of individual utility service connections, although each agency should identify ministerial actions) [1].
    3. Specific activities the agency has found to be categorically exempt as established by CEQA Guidlines.
  2. Conducting initial studies.
  3. Preparing negative declarations.
  4. Preparing draft and final EIRs.
  5. Consulting with and obtaining comments from other public agencies and the public.
  6. Assuring adequate opportunity and time for public review and comment on Draft EIR or Negative Declaration.
  7. Evaluating and responding to comments received on environmental documents.
  8. Assigning responsibility for determining the adequacy of an EIR or Negative Declaration.
  9. Reviewing and considering environmental documents by the person or decision-making body who will approve or disapprove a project.
  10. Filing documents required or authorized by CEQA and these Guidlines.
  11. Providing adequate comments on environmental documents which are submitted to the agency for review.
  12. Assigning responsibility for specific functions to particular unit of the public agency.
  13. Providing time periods for performing functions under CEQA.

[2]. [3].

Responsible Agencies

  • Lead agencies have principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project. A Responsible Agency may have some authority over some aspect of a project, but relies on the lead agency's environmental document on aspects of the project which requires its approval. The responsible agency makes its own determination on the feasibility of mitigation measures or alternatives for each significant environmental effects identified in the EIR. The Responsible Agency must make one or more of three findings:
  1. Changes have been incorporated to avoid or substantially lessen the identified significant environmental effect.
  2. The changes are within the jurisdiction of another agency and the changes have been or should be adopted by that other agency.
  3. Specific considerations which make infeasible the alternatives identified in the final EIR.
