Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines §15301/Class 1
Reasons for Exemption
Staff has performed a preliminary environmental assessment of this project and determined that it falls within the Categorical Exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15301/Class 1 which exempts projects that relate to the operation, repair, maintenance, leasing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures and facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time. Examples include exterior or alterations including interior partitions, existing streets, gutters, sidewalks, additions to structures that are less than 2,500 square feet.
The proposed project involves road widening at two locations to enhance the safety of workers and equipment. Existing roads in these areas are too narrow for the heavy equipment that currently uses them. In other locations, current dirt roads will be paved. This also enhances safety for workers and equipment that must regularly use these dirt roads. These improvements do not expand the size or purpose of the Fresno-Clovis Regional Wastewater Reclmation Facility, which is a publicly owned utility facility that provides an essential public utility service.
Furthermore, Staff has determined that none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2 apply to this project.
