Document Description
The project involves the adoption of the City of Turlock’s Water Master Plan (WMP), prepared by Carollo Engineers, Inc. The purpose of the WMP is to provide a comprehensive planning framework for evaluating and managing the City’s water supply, distribution infrastructure, and long-term resource needs. The plan includes assessments of existing conditions, forecasts of future water demand, and recommendations for infrastructure improvements, operational enhancements, and conservation strategies.
The WMP is a non-binding planning document that will inform future decisions regarding water system upgrades and investments but does not itself authorize or fund any specific project. It is intended to support regulatory compliance, promote water resource sustainability, and improve long-term operational efficiency.
Beneficiaries of the project include the residents, businesses, and agricultural users within the City of Turlock who rely on a safe, reliable, and resilient water supply. The plan also aids City decision-makers by providing data-driven guidance for prioritizing infrastructure and resource management efforts.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
California Environmental Quality Act Section 15262
Reasons for Exemption
The adoption of the Water Master Plan is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15262 of the CEQA Guidelines, which applies to planning and feasibility studies. The Water Master Plan is a strategic planning document that evaluates future water supply and infrastructure needs but does not approve or fund any specific projects. As such, it does not have a legally binding effect on future activities and does not trigger the need for environmental review at this stage. Environmental factors were considered during the plan's development, and any future actions arising from the plan will be subject to separate CEQA review, if applicable.
