Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sections 15301, 15304, 15307 and 15308 (Classes 1, 4, 7 and 8) of the CEQA Guidelines
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed action was previously determined to be Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to Sections 15301, 15304, 15307 and 15308 (Classes 1, 4, 7 and 8) of the CEQA Guidelines, on October 8, 2019, when it was originally approved. CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1 (Existing Facilities) provides for the exemption of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment or topographic features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15304, Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land) provides for the exemption of minor alterations to land. CEQA Guidelines Section 15307, Class 7 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of Natural Resources), provides for the exemption of actions taken by a public agency for the protection of natural resources. CEQA Guidelines Section 15308, Class 8 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment), provides for the exemption of actions taken by a public agency for the protection of the environment. This action will allow for the renewal of an existing contract for continued hydroseeding services for the purpose of environmental protection at existing landfills in the form of erosion control, slope stabilization and minimization of siltation at Orange County Landfills which is consistent with a Class 1, Class 4, Class 7 and Class 8 Categorical Exemption determination. The proposed action results in no new findings and continues to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to the identified Categorical Exemptions.
