Document Description
The purpose of this project is to demolish and remove one potable water reservoir and one duplex pump station which are a potential hazard and have reached the end of their service life. The reservoir houses existing AMI equipment to be relocated within the project site. Piping connected to the reservoirs and pump station will be blind flanged and left in place. The pump station building will be protected in place to house AMI and SCADA equipment. Project beneficiaries will be EVMWD’s workers and ratepayers, as EVMWD will no longer be required to maintain the unused facilities.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301 – Class 1: Existing Facilities
Reasons for Exemption
The project, involving the demolition of 1 reservoir and
the relocation of AMI equipment, would be similar in
scale and generate a similar amount of waste (much of
which will be recyclable) as the types of demolition listed
in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301. The “Common
Sense” exemption is also applicable because this project
would be exempt under Section 15302 if the reservoirs
were going to be demolished and replaced on site with
similarly sized facilities. Common sense dictates that if
demolishing and replacing facilities would not have a
significant impact on the environment, then merely
demolishing the existing facilities without constructing
replacements would also not have a significant impact on
the environment. This reflects that demolition would
occur more quickly, use fewer resources, and generate less
waste than would demolition followed by reconstruction.
