History

  • Relation to NEPA

Process

  • Pre-Application Phase

Proposed project has been developed to the point where permit requirements need to be addressed. The potential applicant should identify the types of permits which will be required as well as the agencies associated with the project.

  • Application Phase

All required permitting applications are filled to the corresponding agencies. By this time a comprehensive project description must be completed. Agencies which receive applications are charged with concluding if applications are missing information or supporting documents.

  • Review Phase

Once an application is completed, a review procedure commences which evaluates the appropriate permitting guidelines and corresponding environmental investigation. Proposed projects are assessed to determine if CEQA applies to them.
