Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Article 19, Section 15302 (c)– Replacement or Reconstruction of Existing Utility System Facilities
Reasons for Exemption
The culvert replacement is exempt from CEQA as it involves the replacement and reconstruction of an existing facility serving the same purpose. The construction of a small retaining wall at the culvert inlet is exempt as it supports the culvert’s function involving negligible or no expansion of capacity. Together, these improvements will enhance stormwater management and maintain reliable access to a critical reservoir.
