Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
sec 15301, 15303, 15306
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed actions involve providing financial incentives and modeling efforts in the design and installation of conservation equipment within existing public facilities along with the construction of minor appurtenant structures with negligible or no expansion of use and no possibility of significantly impacting the physical environment. Also, some of the activities consist of basic data collection and resources evaluation activities, which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. This may be strictly for information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action that a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded. In addition, the fiscal aspect of financial incentives is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act.
