Reasons for Exemption
This project is exempt because the electric vehicles charges will be installed in existing parking lots involving negligible or no expansion of use, and may include alterations to existing mechanical equipment on the facility. There will be limited numbers of new, small electric vehicle chargers on the existing parking lot structure. The project includes replacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems. All power will be provided from the existing electrical panel and the work includes installation of conduit, wiring, electrical connections and mounting equipment. Other activities may include minor alterations to land where minor trenching may be required to bring power from local sources to the proposed electric vehicle chargers, including backfilling where the surface is restored.
