the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to, 15060(c)(2), 15061(b)(2),
15061(b)(3) CEQA as review is not required because there is no possibility that this Ordinance may

alteration in a land use limitation under CEQA Guidelines 15305, and based on CEQA Guidelines
15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15321, (Enforcement Actions by Regulatory Agencies).
WHEREAS, Orange County Sanitation District has expressed a desire to consolidate permitting,
inspection, monitoring, and enforcement activities over the Inland Empire Brine Line, formerly
known as the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor Brine Line into one public agency, specifically the
Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority ("SAWPA"), to ensure continuity and consistency in the
operation of the Inland Empire Brine Line; and
WHEREAS, the member agencies of SAWPA have previously drafted an ordinance governing the
use of the Brine Line, to be adopted by the member agencies so as to provide uniform and consistent
guidelines governing the use of the Brine Line; and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to adopt, in full, the provisions of SAWPA Ordinance No. 8
establishing regulations for the use of the Inland Empire Brine Line.
WHEREAS, the City wishes to repeal Chapter 13.20 of the Beaumont Municipal Code concerning
Pretreatment and Treatment of Wastes, the subject matter which will be replaced, superseded and
