SUPPORTING AND ADOPTING THE FINDINGS THAT THE CITY OF TUSTIN
PFAS WATER TREATMENT PLANT IS EXEMPT FROM CEQA PURSUANT TO
SECTION 15303 OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES
WHEREAS, the City of Tustin staff determined that a treatment plant for PFOA and
PFOS compounds is required to reduce concentrations in drinking water extracted from the
groundwater basin at existing and future well connections; and
WHEREAS, the Orange County Water District, 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 Tustin PFAS Water Treatment Plant
Project; and
WHEREAS, the Orange County Water District Board of Directors authorized filing a
Categorical Exemption for the City of Tustin PFAS Treatment System Project in compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines on June 8, 2022; and
WHEREAS, the City of Tustin has reviewed and concurs with such evaluation of the
potential for environmental impacts associated with the City of Tustin PFAS Water
Treatment Plant Project; and
WHEREAS, such evaluation determined that the Project is categorically exempt from
CEQA under Class 3 categorical exemptions (CEQA Guidelines Section 15303) as it
consists of the construction and operation of a small treatment plant and associated
pipelines at previously disturbed sites representing the development of limited numbers of
new, small facilities or structures and it would not result in any significant impacts to the
environment; and
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Tustin supports and adopts the finding that the City of Tustin PFAS Water Treatment Plant
Project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines because
it consists of the construction and operation of a small treatment plant and associated
pipelines at previously disturbed sites representing the development of limited numbers of
new, small facilities or structures and it would not result in any significant impacts to the
environment.
