Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 4-S: 15304
Reasons for Exemption
15261(b) - Ongoing Project: The Division has determined that the project is
statutorily exempt under the Ongoing Project (14 CCR 15261(b)) exemption per the
CEQA guidelines because the Division identified the Midway-Sunset Oil Field and
issued permits in this oil field pre-CEQA (prior to April 5, 1973). Additional permits
issued in the developed areas of the Midway-Sunset Oil Field are considered part of
an ongoing project and exempt from further CEQA reviews.
Class 4- Minor Alterations to Land: The Division has determined that the project is
categorically exempt from CEQA under the "Class 4" (14 CCR 15304) exemption per
CEQA guidelines and per DOGGR regulations (14 CCR 1684.2) because the
proposed project is located on previously graded or otherwise recently disturbed land
within a densely developed oil field.
