Reasons for Exemption
Pursuant to Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the Project is exempt from CEQA because it consists of a minor alteration of an existing facility.

It has been determined that the Project site is not in an environmentally sensitive location, will not have a cumulative effect on the environment, is not on a hazardous waste site, will not cause substantial change in the significance of a historical resource, and will not result in damage to a scenic highway.
