Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Declared Emergency
Type, Section or Code
Sec. C 21080(b)(3); Sec. G 15269(a)
Reasons for Exemption
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15269(c) exempts from CEQA review “specific actions necessary to prevent or mitigate an emergency.” Furthermore, projects that “maintain, repair, restore, demolish, or replace property” in an area in which a state of emergency has been proclaimed by the Governor is exempt pursuant to Section 15269(a). On September 21, 2026, Governor Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency due to the developing El Niño weather event that has “greater than 90% chance of a very strong event” and may cause “conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property”. As such, the Department of Public Works proposes to conduct specific emergency repairs to stormdrain infrastructure to prevent or mitigate potential flood conditions at the identified locations.
