Section 15304 Minor Alterations to Land (Class 4):
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 trenching for the installation of underground conduit and demolition of an existing concrete curb for pavement restoration 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 15301 (Class 1. Existing Facilities), Section 15302 (Class 2. Replacement or Reconstruction), Section 15303 (Class 3. New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), and Section 15304 (Class 4. Minor Alterations to Land); therefore, the Project is exempt from CEQA and no further environmental review is required.
