Type, Section or Code
Class 1: Existing Facilities; General Exemption
Reasons for Exemption
The basis for the Division's determination that the project is exempt from the
requirements of CEQA is provided in the brief explanation below.
Class 1 - Existing Facility: The Division has determined that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA under the "Class 1" (14 CCR 15301) exemption because the activity is already permitted. No new surface disturbance will occur.
General Exemption-: The Division has determined that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA under the General or Common Sense (14 CCR 15061(b)(3)) exemption per the CEQA Guidelines because the adjustments in air sampling requirements for this well has no possibility of a significant effect on the environment.
Exceptions to Exemptions: The Division further finds that there are no exceptions to the otherwise-applicable categorical exemptions (PRC §21084; 14 CCR 15300.2(c)). There is no substantial evidence that there are any "unusual circumstances" associated with the proposed project that create a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment, and that there is no significant "cumulative impacts" resulting from successive projects of the same type in the same place. Therefore, this project is not subject to CEQA.
