This book is intended to be used as a general guide to implementing CEQA. It selectively cites CEQA (Pub. Res. Code Secs. 21000–21177), the State CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Reg. 15000-15387), other relevant statutes, and case law when doing so clarifies the underlying legal authority for a particular requirement. For more detailed information users should consult the CEQA statute, the State CEQA Guidelines, and relevant case law. The legal citations in the book are not exhaustive and should not be taken as legal advice. When in doubt, always consult with legal counsel.
