Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 14 §§ 15302
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt under CEQA Guideline § 15302 as it involves replacing existing transformers and associated equipment within the existing Substation No. 1 footprint with new equipment of the same purpose and capacity. In addition, a spare/backup transformer will also be installed adjacent to the existing transformer pad, adding less than 8,000 square feet to the existing Substation No. 1 footprint. The project will be located on the same site as the replaced equipment and will involve a negligible expansion of capacity to Substation No. 1.
