Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15301 ; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15302
Reasons for Exemption
This project will involve minor alteration of existing facilities and mechanical equipment at an existing food processing facility and will result in negligible or no expansion of the existing use. The electric roasters will directly replace the existing roasters at the facility. The systems purchased have safety certifications in compliance with relevant codes and standards. In addition, all required permits for the installation and operation of the system will be obtained prior to system installation and demonstration. The demonstrations will not have a significant impact on local air quality, noise, or traffic and are expected to reduce local criteria pollutant emissions. For these reasons, the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and falls under the categorical exemption listed in 14 C.C.R. § 15301.
