Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Existing Facilities – Section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
This Categorical Exemption allows for the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing private facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency’s initial approval of the project.
Department staff conducted a preliminary review to determine whether a Categorical Exemption is adequate for the Department’s concurrence on this revised SWFP. Due to the proposed changes being only a property boundary adjustment with no proposed expansion to the existing permitted active disposal area, Department staff made the finding/determination that a Categorical Exemption, 14 CCR, Section 15301 – Existing Facilities is adequate for the Department’s concurrence of this revised SWFP.
