For exemption, and revised site plans. submit the CEQA exemption on Benicia’s behalf. EBl said it would take about 2 - 3 weeks to prepare the exemption application. Once it is prepared, they then have to post the CEQA exemption application to the California State Clearinghouse for 30 days to allow other agencies to review and comment if they have any concerns. Once the 30 days is up, EBl will produce a CEQA exemption document that we will then resubmit to CalTrans along with the policy exception letter and the revised site plans. CalTrans will then review.

Flock permitting is working to address the comments from CalTrans, including the NEPA requirement. Flock’s permitting team met with the consulting firm EBl to review the NEPA (National EnvironmentalProtectionAct)andCEQA(CaliforniaEnvironmental Quality Act) requirements for the Policy exception from CalTrans D4. CalTrans has informed us that the CEQA report has to be done in the City’s name. We will need confirmation from your City’s public works that they would like EBl to do the CEQA report or if the City would like to do the report as it will be in their name.

Could you please advise if your public works will do the CEQA report or if we should ask EBl to proceed on the City’s behalf? Please let me know if you have any questions.
