Environmental Compliance & Categorical Exemption Support

The contract focuses on providing environmental compliance support for a cannabis-related project in Petaluma, California, specifically for the preparation and submission of CEQA Class 1 and Class 32 categorical exemption documentation. This includes conducting site assessments and performing impact analyses related to noise, traffic, and utilities to demonstrate compliance with state environmental regulations and qualify for exemptions that streamline project approval.

This is a subcontract under NAICS code 541620, which categorizes the work as environmental consulting services. The project is tied to the California Department of Cannabis Control and is located at a site with a 94954 ZIP code in Petaluma. The contract was posted on July 2, 2026, and is accessible through the CEQA Net portal, indicating the state’s use of its environmental tracking system to manage and review compliance documentation. All deliverables must align with California’s CEQA guidelines to ensure the project proceeds without triggering more extensive environmental review requirements.
