Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CE 15301, 15302, 15303
Reasons for Exemption
The Project consists of the replacement of existing valves, construction of a third backwash reclaim tank, and utility infrastructure that supports treatment within the
existing permitted capacity of the Tanner WTP, with negligible or no expansion of capacity from the existing WTP site use. No exceptions to the application of these
exemptions have been identified. The Project would be consistent with the existing land uses, on a developed and highly disturbed site, with limited construction scope,
no increase in staffing or operational trips, consistent with the height and use limitations requirements from the ALUC, and would operate within the Tanner WTP's
existing permitted capacity. Due to the limited extent of the Project, absence of impact to nearby sensitive receptors, absence of significant air quality, noise, biological
resources, land use, traffic, VMT or water quality impacts, the AWA use of the "common sense" exemption per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3) is appropriate.
