Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 3 (CCR Sec. 15303) and Class 1 (CCR Sec. 15301)
Reasons for Exemption
Project involves installation of small new equipment in an existing small structure, qualifying for a Class 3 exemption. Project is also consistent with a Class 1 exemption as it is a minor alteration to a public facility with no expansion of existing use. Furthermore, the project meets none of the exception criteria for Class 3 and Class 1 exemptions including: being located in a particularly sensitive location (applicable to Class 3 only), resulting in cumulative impact from successive projects of the same type in the same place, having a reasonable possibility of a significant effect, causing damage to scenic resources within a State scenic highway, being located on a hazardous waste site, or causing a substantial change to a historical resource.
