Document Description
The Burney Water District is proposing to replace approximately 350 water meters with automatic meter reading (AMR) meter. Minor ground disturbance (a total of less than approximately 1,000 square feet) would occur at meter sites in the Burney Water District area during replacement of some of the meter boxes where the existing meter boxes are too small to accommodate the new meters. The purpose of the project is to allow the District to remotely read the meters to improve efficiency, provide more accurate readings, and result in water savings.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1, Section 15301; Class 2, Section 15302; Class 3, Section 15303; Class 4, Section 15304
Reasons for Exemption
Class 1 includes the repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public structures, facilities, and mechanical equipment, involving negligible or no expansion of use; Class 2 includes replacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity; and Class 3 includes the installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and Class 4 includes minor trenching and backfilling on land with a slope of less than ten percent where the surface is restored.
The Project is consistent with the categorical exemptions noted above because work would consist of minor alterations and replacement of existing meters; no expansion of capacity or use would occur; only minor earth disturbance would occur at some of the meter sites; and the ground surface would be restored.
