Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301, Existing Facilities and Section 15302, Replacement or Reconstruction
Reasons for Exemption
The City of San Diego determined that the project would qualify to be categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301, Existing Facilities. Section 15301 allows for the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing facilities (public or private), involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the determination. This exemption would apply because the project is renewing an existing permit to continue the operation of an existing WCF located on an existing 30-foot-tall Water District tower. The project would also qualify to be categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15302, Replacement or Reconstruction. CEQA Section 15302 allows for the replacement and reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure being replaced. The project is proposing to modify the existing WCF by removing old equipment and replacing it with new equipment. No environmental impacts would occur. The exceptions listed in CEQA Section 15300.2 would not apply in that no cumulative impacts were identified; no significant effect on the environment was identified; the project is not adjacent to a scenic highway; lastly, the project was not identified on a list of hazardous waste sites pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
