Section 15061 (b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines provides that a project is exempt from CEQA review where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. Today’s action is to approve and execute the Second Amended and Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement (SARA) and Administrative Agreement No. 1 between the City of San Diego and the Participating Agencies (including the Sanitation District), for the continued use of the Metropolitan Sewerage System for wastewater discharge. The proposed action includes approval and execution of the revised legal document governing the regional cooperation on wastewater treatment and recycled/repurified water planning, including a new framework to establish specific or programmatic or
ministerial-type changes accomplished through Administrative Agreements. It can be
seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed action would have a
significant effect on the environment. Therefore, the proposed action is exempt from
CEQA review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
