The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires government agencies to consider the environmental consequences of their actions before approving plans and policies or committing to a course of action on a project.
CEQA has a few goals:
- Inform decision makers and the public about the potential significant environment impacts
- Prevent significant, avoidable damage to the environment by requiring changes to a project
- Identify the ways that the environmental damage can be avoided or reduced
- Disclose to the public the reasons why decisions are made if significant impacts occur
