Section 15302 Replacement or Reconstruction (Class 2):
Reasons for Exemption
The Class 2 Categorical Exemption 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. The new replacement electric-vehicle charging stations for battery-electric utility tractor rigs (eUTRs) will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced.

Type, Section or Code
Section 15303 New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures (Class 3):
Reasons for Exemption
The Class 3 Categorical Exemption consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. The project involves the installation of a new fixed-portal x-ray cargo inspection system with new pedestals to screen cargo in containers.
The Port has determined that none of the exceptions to the exemptions in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15300.2 foreclose the use of Categorical Exemption CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1. Existing Facilities), Section 15302 (Class 2. Replacement or Reconstruction), and Section 15303 (Class 3. New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures); therefore, the Project is exempt from CEQA and no further environmental review is required.
