The following South Coast AQMD Projects have been determined to be subject to CEQA and thus the following documents have been prepared.  The dates in the parentheses are either the closing date for comments on the draft CEQA document or the South Coast AQMD Governing Board Meeting Public Hearing Date when the final CEQA document was certified.  

Please Note:  If a project was determined to be exempt from CEQA, a Notice of Exemption (NOE) may be issued.  The NOEs can be found under "Public Notices" on this website.
