Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301: Minor alteration of existing facilities, 15303: New construction of limited number of facilities
Reasons for Exemption
This radio site has existing radio equipment and propane tanks. The installation of this backup power generator and accompanying propane tanks, which will only operate during power outages, will therefore have no significant effect on the environment (15061) and constitutes a minor alteration of existing facilities (15301) and the new construction of a small structure (15303).
