Reasons for Exemption
The proposed action is Categorically Exempt (Class 1) from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines, since Class 1 (Existing Facilities) consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographic features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. The proposed action is separately and independently Categorically Exempt (Class 4) from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15304 of the CEQA Guidelines, since Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land) involves minor alterations to land. The proposed action is separately and independently Categorically Exempt (Class 7) from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15307 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of Natural Resources), since Class 7 consists of actions taken by a public agency for the protection of natural resources.
