The work includes inspection, design, and thereafter, rehabilitation of primary clarifier structural components, mechanical and electrical systems, sludgehandling equipment, and associated conductor cables, as well as visual evaluation of coating conditions. These activities restore deteriorated infrastructure necessary for continued wastewater treatment operations and public health protection, consistent with subsections (b) and (d). All work will occur entirely within the existing RWRF footprint and involves the repair or replacement of existing equipment with no expansion of footprint, capacity, or change in use. The project is limited to improving the condition and reliability of existing facilities and does not result in any changes that would increase environmental impacts. As such, the Project qualifies for a Class 1 exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(b) and (d).
