Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.
The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use. The project would involve the removal of the existing water storage tank and abandonment of the existing well, as well as the removal of the PG&E power pole, associated pipes, pumphouses, and other facilities. The project would consist of minor alterations of existing facilities, and would not involve expansion of use and project components would not be replaced or reconstructed elsewhere. Therefore, the Class 1 exemption is applicable.
