Reasons for Exemption
The Main Drain Canal was originally constructed in 1948 predating the completion of the State Plan of Flood Control. Here, the Board’s action is limited to approving an encroachment permit to authorize the Main Drain Canal Bridge. The project is exempt from CEQA under the Class 1, Existing Facilities categorical exemption (CEQA California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15301), because the activity consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use. No expansion of existing or former use will occur. Further, none of the exceptions to the exemption in CEQA California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15300.2 apply.
