Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Existing Facilities (15301); Minor Alterations to Land (15304)
Reasons for Exemption
The actions to be taken pursuant the Drought Relief Funding Agreement and Notice of Drought Relief Funding involve the ongoing administration of water resources under the existing authority of the RD1004's settlement contract, consistent with historic practices, and do not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). ((Pub. Resources Code, § 21065; CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(c).) Alternatively, these actions are exempt from CEQA because they fall within the following categorical exemptions: Class 1 (Operation of Existing Facilities) (CEQA Guidelines, § 15301) and Class 4 (Minor Alterations in the Condition of Land, Water and/or Vegetation) (CEQA Guidelines, § 15304) and there is no reasonable possibility that these actions will result in a significant impact due to unusual circumstances.
