Document Description
During record storm flows in 2023, the metal debris rack of the Lower Mission Creek Reach 2B-2 bypass channel was destroyed when large amounts of debris accumulated on the rack and caused it to fail. This project will replace the rack with an updated design to address potential weak points and avoid future failure. The rack size and functionality will remain the same and will involve no expansion of former use.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA Article 19, Categorical Exemption, Section 15301 - Existing Facilities. Class 1 consists of the operation, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Reasons to support exemption findings: The key consideration for Class 1 Exemption 15301 for Existing Facilities is whether the activity involves negligible or no expansion of use. The debris rack is an existing component of the stormwater bypass facility that is regularly managed and maintained for flood control purposes. The activity would not expand the size or change the use of the facility. There are no scenic highways, hazardous waste sites, historical resources, or designated resources of critical concern or officially adopted. There are no unusual circumstances that conclude a reasonable possibility that the activity would have a significant effect or cumulative impact on the environment pursuant to Section 15300.2.
