Bill > AB2669

This bill amends several sections of the Public Resources Code related to environmental quality, primarily focusing on the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It clarifies exemptions for certain pipeline maintenance projects, permits air pollution control districts to issue certain permits without a full CEQA review unless there's a physical or operational change, and updates guidelines for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. The bill also modifies rules regarding project exemptions for scenic resources and sites with hazardous materials, and clarifies the process for tiered environmental reviews when a prior environmental impact report (EIR) exists. Additionally, it adjusts public review periods for environmental documents submitted to the State Clearinghouse, mandates consultation with lists of hazardous material sites, and modifies requirements for EIRs for certain waste-burning facilities. The bill also repeals several sections related to CEQA enforcement and limitations.
