Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Class 1 Section 15302 Replacement or Reconstruction
Reasons for Exemption
The project falls into Class 1 Section 15302, as it will be the replacement of existing structures and facilities where the updated smart meters will be located at the same site as those being replaced, and will have substantially the same purpose while being more efficient and ultimately save 5% potable water demand as noted above. Therefore, the application of CEQA Section 15302 is applicable and appropriate for this project.
