Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status

Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt because it consists of the routine maintenance, repair, and in-kind replacement of degraded internal mechanical components of an existing piblic utility turbine. All work will occur entirely within the established facility footprint, involves no physical expansion, results in zero change to the historically approved use, and will maintain the original generation capacity.
