ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION Clause Samples
The Environmental Determination clause establishes the process by which a party assesses and confirms whether a project or activity complies with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Typically, this clause outlines the steps for conducting environmental reviews, obtaining necessary permits, and documenting findings before proceeding with work. Its core function is to ensure that all legal environmental requirements are met, thereby reducing the risk of regulatory violations and project delays.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. The proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State CEQA Guidelines) and therefore CEQA is not applicable.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. The Economic Development Assistance Program for Office Depot and the Sales Tax Sharing Agreement are not “projects” for the purposes of CEQA, as that term is defined by the California Environmental Quality Act. The Office Depot development has been properly mitigated and controlled by prior development approvals and precise plans. There is sufficient office space for the 13 additional employees, as well as on-site parking. Reviewed by: ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Attachments:

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. The project will include an environmental determination, anticipated to be a Simple Written Record. Work Element 2: Specification Package Development
Task 2.1 Engineer’s Design Report (EDR) – SEH will complete an engineer’s design report sharing project justification, equipment acquisition intent, cost estimates, schedule, and project budget analysis. The EDR will follow steps required in AC 150/5220-20A on selection of components and recommended specification sections. The existing EDR prepared for previous equipment will be updated with current information.
Task 2.2 Specification Bidding Documents – SEH will develop and compile the specifications and bidding documents for procurement for CFME unit. The specification package will include a table of contents, advertisement for bids, proposal documents, schedule of prices, State, Federal, and City of Minot requirements, wage rates, technical specifications, and newly published federal provisions. SEH will complete 90% and 100% design documents. Consideration will be given on delivery time for equipment associated with penalties. Documents will include at a minimum; instruction to bidders, clauses, procurement contract agreement, bonds, state, federal, and city provisions, and Buy American process and forms. Work Element 3: FAA Specifications/Buy American Review Task 3.1 – FAA Coordination – SEH will coordinate with the FAA on submitting a 90 percent complete set of specifications for FAA review.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. Prior to obligation of funding for construction, a review and determination of environmental effects for the project will be completed according to policies and procedures established by the federal funding source. In addition, all pre-construction environmental requirements and stipulations will be completed prior to obligation of funding for construction. Any mitigation measures identified through the environmental review will be fully implemented.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. Contractor shall conduct an initial environmental review of the project and complete an initial study checklist on the General Plan Update in compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Contractor shall work with Orange County Public Works to determine the appropriate environmental document for the project. All work shall meet the standards for technical supporting documents required for a General Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. Environmental Considerations – SEH will complete a request for environmental Categorical Exclusion (CATEX) for the project. SEH will also identify necessary permits, including but not limited to NPDES and developing a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in concert with preliminary erosion control plans, if required for contractor to procure. Work Element 5: Preliminary Design
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. Consultant will conduct an initial environmental review of the project and complete an Initial Study (I/S) checklist in compliance with local requirements, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements (Public Resources Code 21000 et. seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Section 15000 et. seq.).

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION. The CATEX has been approved by FAA and no additional effort is scoped. Work Element 2: Specification Package Development
2.1 Engineer’s Design Report (EDR) – SEH will complete an engineer’s design report sharing project justification, equipment acquisition intent, cost estimates, schedule, and project budget analysis. One EDR will be submitted for both pieces of equipment. The EDR will follow steps required in AC 150/5220-20A on selection of components and recommended specification sections. The existing EDR prepared for previous equipment will be updated with current information.
