Edward 'Ted' Taylor Science & Engineering Building Project Draft (EA & FOC)

California State University, Monterey Bay has determined that the Edward ‘Ted’ Taylor Science and Engineering project is consistent with the Master Plan EIR certified by the Board of Trustees in May 2022 and has prepared a Finding of Consistency in accordance with CEQA (Section 15168(c)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines).

Additionally, because the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) will provide partial funding for a portion of the construction and maintenance of the building and will relocate the main office of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary from Monterey to a portion of the new building, an Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, using the 2024 Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA Implementing Regulations at 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 1500-1508. The notice can be found on the ONMS website here: https://montereybay.noaa.gov/new/news.html.
