Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301, 15302
Reasons for Exemption
The project corrects violations of District rules and regulatory requirements that were found in July 2021, May 2022, and November 2022 during a routine inspection of equipment and operations at the Security Fee/Thomas Lease at the PCEA North Cat Canyon Stationary Source (SSID 11517). The project is located at an existing oil field and there is no new development or ground disturbance as part of the project. The project results in negligible or no expansion of existing or former use of the subject equipment and the oil and gas facility. The replacement equipment will be located on the same site and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the existing equipment. The District reviewed the exceptions to the categorical exemptions pursuant to Section 15300.2 of the State CEQA Guidelines and none of the exceptions apply to the project.
