Which of the following is NOT a type of agency involved in the CEQA process?

Trustee Agency
Lead Agency
Enforcement Agency
Responsible Agency

The correct answer is: Enforcement Agency

In the context of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the terms associated with agency involvement are well defined. The concept of a "Lead Agency" refers to the agency primarily responsible for preparing the environmental document for a proposed project. A "Trustee Agency" is one that has jurisdiction over natural resources that may be affected by a project but does not have primary responsibility for approving the project itself. Similarly, a "Responsible Agency" is one that must issue permits or approvals for a project but is not the Lead Agency. The term "Enforcement Agency," however, does not correspond to a specific role recognized in the CEQA framework. While various enforcement agencies may act to ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations, they do not have a defined role in the CEQA process as described above. Thus, identifying "Enforcement Agency" as the option that is NOT a type of agency involved in the CEQA process is correct.
