CEQA: The Rumrill Boulevard Complete Streets Project (Project) is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15301, Existing Facilities (Class 1) of the CEQA Regulations, on the basis that the Project involves repair and minor alteration to the existing public streets, sidewalks, gutters, and similar facilities.  The Notice of Exemption was filed and recorded with the Contra Costa County Clerk on January 7, 2018.  Moreover, since the Project is also receiving federal funding, the Project was also determined to be categorically exempt under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Section 23 CFR 771.117 (c)(3). The Notice of Exemption for NEPA was filed on March 14, 2018 and revalidated on August 7, 2020 by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
