The project includes improvements to the Honcut School Water System that are required in order to replace aging infrastructure, comply with BCPHD requirements, and ensure a safe and reliable water supply for students and teachers. In addition to constructing a new well, improvements include the following items:
• Constructing a new concrete masonry well building to house the new well, with a separate room for chemical dosing equipment;
• Installing a 50-gallons-per-minute submersible well pump;
• Installing a day tank, pump, and appurtenances to dose the well water with sodium hypochlorite;
• Installing a 400-gallon hydropneumatic tank;
• Installing new piping and appurtenances to connect the new well to Classroom 3 and the irrigation system;
• Installing an automatic transfer switch and an electrical conduit to connect to a future generator;
• Installing fencing to protect the well building;
• Destroying the old well per Department of Water Resources requirements; and,
• Removing the building and all above-ground appurtenances associated with the old well.
Staging of materials and construction equipment would occur within school-owned parcels. Site preparation and grading would be required; however, no trees would be removed.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 2, §15302; Class 3, §15303; Class 4, §15304
Reasons for Exemption
The project is consistent with the categorical exemptions noted above because work would consist of the replacement of the existing well and distribution line, construction of new small structures, and minor alterations to the land. Only minor earth disturbance would be required to accommodate the proposed project, and the ground surface would be restored following construction. No mature trees would be removed, and no expansion of the District’s water system would occur. No wetlands or other waters are present on the project site. The proposed project would not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances; would not result in damage to scenic resources within a scenic highway; is not located on a hazardous waste site pursuant to §65962.5 of the Government Code; would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource; and would not result in cumulative impacts.
