Document Description
On December 13, 2023, the Commission of the March Inland Port Airport Authority (MIPAA) approved an updated 5-year Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) consistent with FAA funding criteria. The ACIP included phases of the FAA approved Pavement Management Plan (PMP) for MIPAA. The Taxiway G Realignment and Rehabilitation/Reconstruction of PMP Phases 4, 5, 12, 13, 14 and 15 would achieve:
1. Realignment of Taxiway “G” would accommodate the existing Group V aircraft which currently park on the air cargo apron at MIPAA. In its current configuration, the Group V aircraft encroach onto the Taxiway Object Free Area while parked.
2. Rehabilitation/Reconstruction of Phases 4, 5, 12, 13, 14 and 15 are areas that have been identified as being in poor condition (PCI 31 & 48) in the 2023 PMP.
This project is proposed to be completed in a single phase and would replace an estimated 34,000 square yards of deteriorated pavement. No expansion of pavement surface is proposed.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1, Section 15301, Existing Facilities and Class 2, 15302, Replacement and Reconstruction
Reasons for Exemption
The Project is categorically exempt from CEQA in that it involves the replacement of 34,000 square yards of deteriorated pavement along the existing Taxiway G and pavement management areas 4, 5, 12, 13 and 14 of the Air Cargo Apron at March Inland Port Airport Authority (“MIPAA”). No expansion of pavement is approved. The replacement of the deteriorated pavement would allow for safer movement of aircraft taxied to the Air Cargo Apron at MIPAA.
The project is categorically exempt from CEQA under the existing facilities exemption, CEQA Guidelines section 15301(d). The existing facilities exemption applies to the restoration or rehabilitation of damaged or deteriorated facilities so long as there is no expansion of use. The project proposes rehabilitation of existing Taxiway G and does not involve any expansion of use for the Taxiway.
The project is also categorically exempt from CEQA under the replacement or reconstruction exemption, CEQA Guidelines section 15302, which applies to the replacement of existing facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the replaced structure. The project proposes replacement of the existing Taxiway G on the same site. As replaced, Taxiway G will have the same purpose and capacity and there will be no expansion of use.
None of the exceptions to the use of a categorical exemption identified in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply here. No significant cumulative impacts would result from the proposed project. Nor is there any reasonable possibility that the project will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, because no unusual circumstances are presented. The project is not located on a scenic highway and will not damage any scenic or historic resources. Finally, the project is not located on a hazardous waste site identified in the Cortese list
