Standby Power Generator Replacement Project
This Project is Now Complete
Standby power generators were placed at OCTA’s Anaheim and Irvine Construction Circle bus bases to support 24/7 operations in the event of a utility power loss.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), OCTA has prepared a Notice of Exemption which is available for public review. To access the Notice of Exemption, click here.
In addition, the Notice of Exemption has been filed electronically with the State Clearinghouse and posted on their CEQAnet Web Portal, which may be accessed by clicking here.
The electronic filing and posting of the Notice of Exemption is being implemented in accordance with Governor Newsom's Executive Orders N-54-20 (April 22, 2020) and N-80-20 (September 23, 2020) in response to the threat of COVID-19. For questions regarding the filing and posting of the Notice of Exemption, please contact Cliff Thorne, at cthorne@octa.net.
