Regulatory Compliance and CEQA Exemption Documentation

The contract requires the preparation and filing of regulatory documentation to confirm an exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to California Water Code Section 10652, ensuring compliance with state environmental review requirements for water-related projects. This includes assembling all necessary technical and legal materials to substantiate eligibility for the exemption and coordinating the formal submission with the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to meet procedural and timeline obligations. The work is scoped as a subcontract under the Citrus Heights Water District and falls under NAICS code 541611, indicating it involves environmental consulting services focused on regulatory compliance. The contract is tied to a specific project identified in the CEQA Net database with the project ID 2026070304, and while the place of performance is not explicitly defined, the agency designation as California suggests the work pertains to state-level regulatory processes. All deliverables must ensure full alignment with CEQA guidelines and OPR submission protocols to secure formal recognition of the exemption without requiring additional environmental review.
