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 removal of up to six (6) antennas, six (6) remote radio units, and three (3) hybrid trunks from tower as well as one (1) RBS 6201 outdoor enclosure cabinet, one (1) EZBFO cabinet, two (2) baseband processor unit 6630's, one (1) power supply unit 4813 VR2A Kit, one (1) baseband processor unit 6648, one (1) digital unit for WCDMA 30, and one (1) generator plug from ground will allow for the replacement equipment to be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the equipment replaced. All equipment that is removed from the site will be disposed of in a manner that meets all federal, state and local environmental and regulatory requirements.
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) and Section 15302 (Class 2. Replacement or Reconstruction); therefore, the Project is exempt from CEQA and no further environmental review is required.
