The California Coastal Act establishes the basic land use policies that protect our coastal zone. In many ways, the Coastal Act should serve as a model for the kind of land use planning that should prevail everywhere in the State of California.
LandWatch comments on the Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) for the Coastal Water Project
LandWatch reviewed the MOUs between the County of Monterey, Marina Coast Water District, and the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency that went before the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, April 28th. LandWatch is concerned that these MOUs are defined as “projects” under the California Environmental Quality Act or CEQA and the language in the MOUs reflect that, yet the agencies claim they are planning documents. LandWatch encouraged the agencies to delay action on the MOUs until requirements of CEQA are addressed. (05.06.09)
