Approval of the Recommendations will allow the Project and Facilities Management Department (PFMD) to solicit competitive bids for the Project located in Apple Valley. The Department of Airports manages a system of six airports, including County Service Area 60 (CSA 60) Apple Valley Airport for the County. The purpose of the Project will be to provide a self-contained area in which aircraft can taxi into position under power or by tug, undergo washing, and be pushed-back by tug onto adjacent taxi lane pavements. The Project will provide a concrete pad; independent drainage system to be conveyed through an oil water separator to the septic system to comply with state and local stormwater requirements; storm drainpipe and drain junction structure; water meter pressure washing system; and associated utilities.
It is recommended that the Board find the Project to be categorically exempt from further review under Section 15301, Class 1, Subsections (a), (d) and (e), minor alteration of existing structure and Section 15302, Class 2, Subsection (b), replacement or reconstruction of existing structures of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (Title 14, California Code of Regulations). As evidenced by the Notice of Exemption, Section 15301 provides categorical exemption for projects involving Class 1, Subsection (a), (d), and (e), minor alteration of existing structure and Section 15302 provides categorical exemption for projects involving Class 2, Subsection (b), replacement or reconstruction of existing structures. All work involved in the Project is consistent with Class 1 and Class 2 exemptions and will not have a significant environmental impact.
