3. California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)

The CEQA requires that the Commission act as the designated lead agency to assess the potential environmental impact of a project in order that adverse effects are avoided, alternatives are investigated, and environmental quality is restored or enhanced to the fullest extent possible. Since Wholesale states that it does not intend to construct any facilities, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that granting this application will have an adverse impact upon the environment. Before it can construct facilities other than equipment to be installed in existing buildings or structures, Wholesale must file for additional authority, and submit to any necessary CEQA review.
