Your project should be well-designed and meet applicable environmental standards to reduce any potential risks associated with regulatory non-compliance. To help determine required standards for the project, carefully evaluate the location of the project and review existing local/state/federal environmental rules and regulations that would apply. Additionally, consult with experts who specialize in managing Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) processes to understand what type of environmental studies, if any, are needed. Ultimately it is important to develop a plan of action so that potential risks regarding regulatory compliance can be avoided or minimized as much as possible.

One way to avoid environmental regulations is to ensure your project meets the requirements for categorical exemptions. Categorical exemptions are determinations made by the California Coastal Commission which may exempt a project from certain state or local environmental regulations, depending on the criteria met. It may be helpful to consult with an environmental attorney who specializes in Coastal Act compliance to assess your projects’ eligibility for categorical exemptions.
