CEQA: California Environmental Quality Act

Benefits

CEQA compliance is an uphill battle - do you know what you're up against?

The California Environmental Quality Act is the cornerstone of the state's environmental protection laws.

Developing strategies for surviving potential litigation is an important aspect of preparing good CEQA documents.
