Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15303 New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures
Reasons for Exemption
The Class 3 Categorical Exemption consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. The project involves the installation of a new fiber optic cable and
four vaults.
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15304 Minor Alterations to Land
Reasons for Exemption
The Class 4 Categorical Exemption consists of minor public or private
alterations in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation which do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees except for forestry or agricultural purposes and backfilling where the surface is restored. The Project involves excavation
for the fiber optic cable and vaults and backfilling where the surface will be restored.
The Port has determined that none of the exceptions to the exemptions in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15300.2 foreclose the use of Categorical Exemption CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land); therefore the Project is exempt from CEQA and no further environmental review is required.
