Segmentation or piecemealing is illegal in the State of California under the
Environmental Quality Act, as defined by Appellate Court Decisions and
written into law. A project is different from a permit, as it encompasses all
necessary actions associated to make the project go forward. Agencies that try to
only assess the impact, of say a driveway or access road without looking at
the sum total of all its parts can get sued and lose big time.
