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 electrical cabinet, conduit, wiring, communication systems, end stops, and a new spout platform approximately 30 feet long by 5 feet wide.
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.
