REF250037 - WATER ALLOCATION BOARD POLICY Consider adopting a resolution to approve a water allocation policy for the allocation of limited excess water from the California American Water Company (Cal-Am) service area of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) for areas of unincorporated Monterey County served by MPWMD. Proposed California Environmental Quality Act Action: The proposed County of Monterey Water Allocation Policy (Policy) is exempt from further (CEQA) review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) as the proposed Policy does not make any changes to allowable uses or development regulations at any location in unincorporated Monterey County. Additionally, any future discretionary development that obtains water allotment pursuant to the Policy will undergo the necessary environmental review pursuant to CEQA when the project is considered. Lastly, 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).
