RESOLUTION NO. 2023-XXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA, DETERMINING THE FULLERTON MAIN PLANT PFAS WATER TREATMENT PLANT PROJECT EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT WHEREAS, the City of Fullerton determined that it requires a treatment plant for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to reduce concentrations in drinking water extracted from the groundwater basin at the existing Main Plant well site.
WHEREAS, City of Fullerton, in its capacity under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has conducted an evaluation of the potential for environmental impacts associated with the City of Fullerton Main Plant PFAS Water Treatment Plant Project (Project).
WHEREAS, such evaluation determined that the Project is consistent with the applicable Categorical Exemption (Class 3, Section 15303) under the CEQA Guidelines as it would consist of the construction and operation of a small treatment plant at a previously disturbed site representing the development of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures and it would not result in any significant impacts to the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council OF THE CITY OF FULLERTON resolveS as follows:
1. The above recitals are incorporated herein by reference. 2, The Fullerton Main Plant PFAS Water Treatment Plant Project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 because it consists of the construction and operation of a small treatment plant at a previously disturbed site representing the development of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures and it would not result in any significant impacts to the environment.
