Reasons for Exemption
Board staff has determined the project is exempt from CEQA under the Class 2, Replacement or Reconstruction categorical exemption (CEQA Guidelines § 15302), because the proposed activity consists of the removal and replacement of a UPRR bridge with substantially the same size, purpose, and capacity. Further, none of the exceptions to the exemption in CEQA Guidelines § 15300.2 apply.
