Comm for Better Envir. v. SJ Unified Air Pollution
Plaintiffs challenge San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s (Air District) 2014 approval of permits authorizing the construction of an oily water sewer system (sewer system) for a rail-to-pipeline transfer terminal in Kern County. Plaintiffs contend Air District violated the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA; Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq. ) by concluding the proposed sewer system involved only ministerial actions, and was therefore exempt from environmental review. Plaintiffs argue approval of the permits was discretionary, not ministerial and, therefore, the CEQA exemption determination was wrong.
