Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
This exemption allows for the "...operation, repair, maintenance...or minor alteration of existing public...structures, facilities...involing negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination." The project involves negligible expansion of an existing water system to provide for greater storage capacity and flow. Additionally, the project involves remodeling the interior of the dormitory, relocating a basketball pad, and pouring a cement pad immediately adjacent to the existing mess hall, all qualify as "negligible expansion of an existing use." CDF has investigated the project area and is unaware of any potential project impacts.
