Document Description
Engine 4174, crew, equipment, and supplies will be relocated from the current location at the Tulare County Poso FFS to temporarily relocate to CAL FIRE's Porterville FFS located at 26488 Avenue 140 in Porterville, CA. This engine company will then permanently relocate to CAL FIRE's Tulare Unit (TUU) Headquarters, the old Fire Prevention building will be remodeled to convert its use to a one-engine fire station. The move from Porterville FFS to TUU Headquarters will take place after the remodel project is completed. The final move will provide better fire protection services to the western half of Yokohl Valley and second-in at Woodlake, Elderwood, and Lindsay areas. The Porterville FFS is equipped to house these additional resources. When the engine is assigned to TUU Headquarters, they will be sharing the facility with CAL FIRE, Visalia City and Tulare County.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt because it involves actions at existing facilities. The only new construction will be the remodeling at TUU Headquarters but this will not affect any historic or aesthetic qualities. Fire protection services will be maintained. The slight increase in the number of persons housed at the Porterville and TUU Headquarters locations will not result in significant impact in water consumption or sewage generation and minor increase in traffic and noise. There will be no significant environmental impact resulting from this project. Environmental review documentation supporting this NOE is on file at TUU Headquarters in Visalia.
