Document Description
Following a wetter than normal winter, a significant amount of debris and sediment have washed into the segment of Perris Valley Channel between Laterals "A" and "B", reducing the as-built capacity of the facility. The District is proposing to remove accumulated sediment and debris within the existing District owned and maintained Perris Valley Channel between Laterals "A" and "B". The project does not propose any new construction and only proposes to return the facility's capacity to as-built condition, improving its flood protection capability from its current state.

Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301 - Existing Facilities
Reasons for Exemption
The Project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to the Class 1 Categorical Exemption as described in Section 15301(b) of the CEQA Guidelines. The Class 1 (Existing Facilities) Exemption allows for 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 project involves maintenance of an existing, publicly owned flood control facility. Maintenance work will be limited to restoring the facility to its original design capacity and would not result in an expansion of the existing use beyond design lines and grades. As such, work as proposed is consistent with the Class 1 Exemption.
