Document Description
A Revised Notice of Exemption has been prepared to amend the previously approved project to add improvements to the existing booster pump station (installing a new antenna tower and emergency backup diesel generator, and upgrading and retrofitting the building); improvements to three existing water storage tanks (upgrading existing antennas, control panels, and the programmable logic controller); improvements to three existing wells (new piping, pumps, motors, valves, well level transmitters, chlorination facilities, and intrusion alarms); general improvements to existing well houses (e.g., windows, doors, siding, roofing, fencing, etc.); and upgrading the water system's obsolete SCADA hardware component. Well 8 is currently powered by PG&E with a back-up natural gas engine that needs to be upgraded. If upgraded, the natural gas engine would serve as a secondary source of power for Well 8. Alternatively, Well 8 may be connected to the emergency backup generator to be used for the other two wells. If this alternative is selected, the existing natural gas engine and all related equipment would be demolished. These improvements are in addition to the improvements identified in the original project.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
§15301, §15302, §15303, §15304
Reasons for Exemption
Class 1 includes the repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public structures, facilities, and mechanical equipment, involving negligible or no expansion of use; Class 2 includes replacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity; Class 3 includes the installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and Class 4 includes minor trenching and backfilling on land with a slope of less than ten percent where the surface is restored. The project is consistent with the categorical exemptions noted above because work would consist of repair, upgrades, and minor alterations to existing structures; no expansion of capacity or use would occur; only minor trenching to install the new piping at the Well Field site would occur; and the ground surface would be restored.
