Reasons for Exemption
Not a "Project"-- This transfer is not a "Project" in that it is not reasonably forseeable to result in the physical change in the environment. There will be no changes in the environment. There will be no changes in the environment as a result of the transfer. The transfer will be carried out utilizing existing facilities of all parties involved. The transfer will not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; and, therefore, is not subject to CEQA. In this regard, the same quanity of water will be exported from the Delta, with or without the transfer. Although not technically applicable, it is noted by analogy that transfers which are no longer than one year in duration are not subject to CEQA when involving a discretionary action of the State Water Resources Control Board.
