Notice of Exemption

Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
SECTION 21152(b) OF THE PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE AND CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15062
Reasons for Exemption
This permit application is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Class 1: Existing Facilities- CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 since there will be a negligible expansion of existing use. The existing use of the facility on which the generators will be installed and operated is a chemical manufacturing plant. These two additional engines and the structure associated with them is a negligible expansion of that use and the engines will only be used for the purpose of providing power to a firewater pump within the facility in the event of an emergency. Further, based on the review of the permit application materials, including Appendix H, the project will not have any significant environmental impacts, and cumulative impacts from successive projects of the same type in the same place will not result in significant environmental impacts. The Air District does not expect there to be successive projects similar to this at this same place since these engines will satisfy the need for fire prevention at this part of the facility.
