Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301
Reasons for Exemption
Class 1 consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.
This replacement/new bridge will be located adjacent to the existing bridge and will serve the same purpose and capacity. The existing alignment crosses the All-American Canal (AAC) using a structure (Bridge 58-320) consisting of a more than 80-year-old U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBOR) water flow check structure facility. The original bridge was constructed for maintenance and operations purposes and does not meet Caltrans’ safety standards
