CEQA is the California Environmental Quality Act, which requires state and local agencies such as East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) to identify the project's significant environmental impacts and to avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible. EBMUD will publish a draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that will describe the impacts of the preferred alternative and the proposed mitigations. The public can comment on the draft EIR and those comments and EBMUD responses would be included in the final EIR.
