APPENDIX APublic InvolvementPublic Review under CEQAPublic involvement is an essential feature of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) process. The CEQA environmental review process has greatly expanded theopportunities for interested citizens to participate in project planning and governmentdecision-making. CEQA encourages public involvement as early as possible in theProject planning phase. The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is a well-establishedtool to inform and influence the outcome of a broad variety of projects, including theproposed EBMUD Estates Reservoir Replacement Project. EBMUD’s outreach effortsfor the Project, described below, exceed CEQA requirements.Public Involvement for the ProjectEBMUD has provided and will continue to provide opportunities for the public toparticipate in the CEQA process through meetings, public notices on and public review ofthe Draft EIR, additional public meetings, and preparation of the Final EIR.
