Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Emergency Project
Type, Section or Code
Sec. 21080(b)(4); 15269(b)(c)
Reasons for Exemption
This emergency project is exempt under Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(2)(4) and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15269(b)(c) because the project involves emergency repairs to a publicly owned service facility necessary to maintain water service essential to public health, safety, and welfare. The project is necessary to provide adequate water service for the community. The project is also a specific action necessary to mitigate structure fires following a declared fire emergency. Additionally, Section 15282(k) applies, as the installation of approximately 400 feet of new pipeline is well under the one-mile threshold outlined in Section 21080.21 of the Public Resources Code.
