Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Class 1 § 15301
Reasons for Exemption
The project is categorically exempt from CEQA under the Class 1 categorical exemptions set forth in California Code of Regulations sections 15301. Section 15301 (Class 1) exempts from CEQA “the operation, repair, maintenance … or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, [or] facilities … involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use,” including “(b) Existing facilities of both investor and publicly owned utilities used to provide electric power, natural gas, sewerage, or other public utility services.”
The project consists of replacing the HVAC units at two buildings and a pump station to maintain the function of the HVAC system. The project will not increase the capacity or otherwise expand the current use of it. Section 15301(b) specifically contemplates the exemption of repairs, maintenance, or minor alterations to existing sewerage facilities such as functional repairs at issue here and therefore applies to the project.
