Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301 Class 1-Existing Facilities and Section 15302 Class 2-Replacement or Reconstruction.
Reasons for Exemption
Pursuant to Sections 15022(a)(1 )(C) and 15300.4 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the
Napa County Board of Supervisors have adopted implementation procedures, identifying specific projects that would be categorically exempt from established CEQA Guidelines. The proposed improvements would be considered Categorically
Exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 Class 1-Existing Facilities, which includes the operation and repair of existing public or private structures or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing of former use. The proposed
improvements would also be considered Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15302, Class 2- Replacement or Reconstruction, which consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. A key consideration in the appropriateness of using these Categorical Exemptions is whether the Project would be located on the same site and have substantially the same purpose and involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use. In terms of negligible expansion, the proposed Projects will take place within the existing roadway footprints or shoulder areas, and do not include significant expansions beyond existing conditions. The proposed Projects would repair existing roads and shoulder areas. Therefore, it has been determined that the proposed Projects qualify for a Class 1 and Class 2 Categorical Exemption, and have no reasonable possibility of having a significant effect on the environment. The areas proposed for repair and maintenance are not listed on any hazardous waste sites enumerated under Government Code Section 65962.5.
The proposed improvements would also be in conformity with the adopted Napa County General Plan (June 2008). Improvements proposed for County owned, operated or occupied buildings and facilities are consistent with General Plan Policy AG/LU-29 which allows governmental organizations to operate and use existing structures/facilities, and to expand in size and/or volume, in order to upgrade or modernize facilities to meet public needs. This determination is based on information provided by James Reese of the Napa County Public Works. Should the proposed Projects be modified or new evidence be presented that environmental impacts have not been fully disclosed, this determination would not be valid.
