Reasons for Exemption

The proposed action is the installation of an approximate 560 feet of new pipeline (24" in diameter) that would allow continued delivery of adequate water supply in the surrounding project area. Statutory Exemption 15282 states: (k) The installation of new pipeline or maintenance, repair, restoration, removal, or demolition of the existing pipeline as set forth in Section 21080.21 of the Public Resources Code, as long as the project does not exceed one mile in length, The proposed action has been determined to fall within the scope of Statutory Exemption 15282(k) because it occupies public right-of-way. Therefore, this proposed action is not a “project” subject to CEQA or the State CEQA Guidelines.
