Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CCR section number: Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, Section 15306
Reasons for Exemption
Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, sec. 15306 provides that projects which consist of basic data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource are categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA. These may be strictly for information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action which a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded. (Section 21083, Public Resources Code. Reference: Section 21084, Public Resources Code.) This project involves the procurement of field test equipment (“field standards”) that will evaluate and verify commercial measuring devices dispensing electricity as a zero-emission transportation fuel. The contract will result in the procurement of fifteen field standards which are mobile devices that will be loaned to counties across the state to test and verify newly installed EVSE. Through the contract, data regarding the framework used to train county officials and loan equipment will be recorded. In addition, the contract will collect data regarding the number of EVSE tested using the procured field standards, the impact(s) to EVSE installation across the state resulting from the contract, and how these impacts effect state goals for EVSE deployment. The project is categorically exempt pursuant to section 15306 of CEQA Guidelines because it consists of basic data collection, research and resource evaluation activities which will not result in a major disturbance to an environmental resource. The project will not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies; does not involve any cumulative impacts of successive projects of the same type in the same place that might be considered significant; does not involve unusual circumstances that might have a significant effect on the environment; will not result in damage to scenic resources within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway; the project site is not included on any list compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5; and the project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Therefore, none of the exceptions to categorical exemptions listed in CEQA apply to this project.
