Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301, Class 1
Reasons for Exemption
This project will install an advanced heat recovery system at the Yosemite Foods meat processing facility in Stockton, CA.
This project will involve minor alteration of existing facilities and mechanical equipment at an existing food processing facility and will result in no expansion of the existing use. The heat recovery system consists of circulation pumps, storage tanks, heat exchangers, piping and fittings, insulation, and associated control systems. The materials used to construct the system are chemically inert, not hazardous to human health, and do not have a significant effect on the environment. The project will not have a significant impact on local air quality, noise, or traffic, and is expected to reduce local criteria pollutant emissions. For these reasons, the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and falls under the categorical exemption listed in 14 C.C.R. § 15301.
