ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The appeal of the Director’s determination on the road modification is not a “project” as defined in CEQA Section 15378. Section 15378(c) sets forth that the term “project” refers to an activity which is being approved, and does not mean each separate governmental approval. In this case, the Board’s determination on the road modification merely establishes how existing regulations are being interpreted, and will not result, either directly or indirectly, in a physical change in the environment. This code interpretation is necessary to establish the scope of the “project” that will       then be subject to CEQA evaluation.
