Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental·
Quality Act (CEQA) under the California Code of Regulations pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines
(Cal. Code Regs., § 15000 et seq.) Sections 15061 (b)(2) in that the proposed project is
categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 -
Existing Facilities, 15302 - Replacement or Reconstruction, 15303 - New Construction or
Conversion of Small Structures, 15304 - Minor Alterations to Land, and 15332 - In-Fill
Development Projects; and Section 15061 (b)(3) - Common Sense Exemption in that it can be
se seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the project may have a significant effect on
the environment. The Bath Well treatment plant is intended to replace the existing aged treatment
plant, and will be -located on the same parcel as the existing treatment plant. The treatment plant
is located approximately 30 feet east of an existing one-and-a-half million-gallon reservoir on a
site that has been previously, and continuously disturbed. The site has no potential for habitat for
rare or endangered species. The proposed project will result in short-term noise disruption to the
area for the construction of the treatment plant; however, the impacts will be short-term and
limited. Further, there are no sensitive receptors on, or near, the project site. The proposed
treatment plant is replacing an existing treatment plant therefore no significant new infrastructure
will be required to connect the Bath Well treatment plant to the existing water system. Therefore,
. it can be seen with certainty that the project will not result in any direct or indirect environmental
impacts pursuant to the General Rule of CEQA as outlined in Section 15061 (b )(3).
