Exempt Status: (check one):
D Ministerial (Sec. 21080(b)(1); 15268); D Declared Emergency (Sec. 21080(b)(3); 15269(a)); D Emergency Project (Sec. 21080(b)(4); 15269(b)(c));
[gl Categorical Exemption. State type and section number: Class 30 Section 15330, Class 8 Section 15308,
and Class 3 Section 15303
D Statutory Exemptions. State code number: __
Reasons why project is exempt: This Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") under
Section 15330/Class 30 (Minor Actions to Prevent, Minimize, Stabilize, Mitigate or Eliminate the Release or Threat of
Release of Hazardous Water or Hazardous Substances), under Section 15308/Class 8 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for
Protection of the Environment), and under Section 15303/Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures)
of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 because it has no potential to have
a significant effect on the environment.
The Class 30 exemption allows minor cleanup actions taken to prevent, minimize, stabilize, mitigate, or eliminate the
release or threat of release of hazardous waste or substance which are small or medium removal actions costing $1 million
or less. The cleanup action shall not require the onsite use of a hazardous waste incinerator or thermal treatment unit, or
the relocation of residences or businesses. The action shall not involve the potential release into the air of VOC as defined
in Health and Safety Code Section 25123.6, except for small-scale in situ soil vapor extraction and treatment systems
PA2022-0180
which have been permitted by the local Air Quality Management District {"AQMD"). The cleanup action must be
consistent with all applicable state and local environmental permitting requirements such as off-site disposal, and air
quality rules, and approved by the regulatory body with jurisdiction over the site.
The Project is consistent with the intent of the Class 30 exemption for minor cleanup actions as it proposes to mitigate
the presence of VOC in the soil without the use of a hazardous waste incinerator or thermal treatment unit. The Project
will not relocate any residences or businesses. Coordination with the Water Board has commenced and a permit for the
release of VOC into the air in small-scale in situ soil vapor extraction and treatment systems will be obtained. The Project
is consistent with all applicable state and local environmental permitting requirements and is approved by the Water
Board.
The Class 8 exemption allows actions taken by regulatory agencies as authorized by state law or local ordinance to
assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process
involves procedures for protection of the environment. Construction activities and relaxation of standards allowing
environmental degradation are not included in this exemption.
The Project has been mandated by the Water Board as part of the required ongoing monitoring of groundwater and
site conditions of the former Ford Facility. The Project will remediate the existence of VOC observed in the soil in
order to protect the environment as well as the residents of the community. No construction activities or relaxation
of standards that would cause environmental degradation are proposed and the Project is consistent with the intent
of the Class 8 exemption.
The Class 3 exemption allows the construction of new, small facilities or structures including accessory (appurtenant)
structures including garages, carports, patios, swimming pools, and fences.
The Project proposes the construction of a small 240-square-foot treatment system building for the purpose of soil
vapor remediation. The soil vapor extraction and treatment system is intended to re mediate the presence of VOCs
for the residents in the Bayridge Park community.
The exceptions to this categorical exemption under Section 15300.2 are not applicable. The Project location does not
impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern, does not result in cumulative impacts, does not
have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances, does not damage scenic resources within
a state scenic highway, is not a hazardous waste site, and is not identified as a historical resource.
