LANDWATCH MONTEREY COUNTY v. COUNTY OF MONTEREY Part I
Approval of development project with mitigated negative declaration did not violate CEQA where evidence suggesting proposed project might contribute to a severe groundwater overdraft consisted largely of opinions of persons with little technical expertise and failed to discredit the specific technical analyses and conclusions reached by qualified experts in site specific studies or the testimony that there was an adequate water supply for the project, and agency prepared MND only after it had independently reviewed and exercised its judgment over initial study, information and material submitted by property owners and their consultants, and testimony of witnesses.
