California Court of Appeal
Western Placer Citizens for an Agric. & Rural Env't v. County of Placer, C049364
Determination that a county's environmental impact report analyzing a proposed aggregate mine violated the California Environmental Quality Act is reversed where: 1) CEQA does not per se require a revised project description be included in the FEIR itself, and substantial evidence in the record demonstrated the changed phasing of aggregate mining and reclamation was not significant new information requiring additional analysis in, or recirculation of, the FEIR; and 2) the record contains sufficient evidence to support defendant's findings that there would be sufficient water to supply the project's needs through its mining life and its reclamation requirements.
