REF250037 - WATER ALLOCATION POLICY Consider and provide input on a draft Water Allocation Policy for areas of unincorporated Monterey County served by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) Project Location: Unincorporated Monterey County MPWMD Water Service Area Proposed CEQA action: The proposed County of Monterey Water Allocation Policy (Policy) is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065 and CEQA Guideline section 15378 because the Policy is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Any future discretionary development that obtains a water allotment pursuant to the Policy will undergo the necessary environmental review pursuant to CEQA when the project is considered. Additionally, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) analyzed the potential effects of water allocation made available through the Pure Water Monterey Expansion project via Environmental Impact Report Addendum (dated January 2024, State Clearinghouse #2013051094).
