features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of

replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure
will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the
same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced, and that, therefore, pursuant to
Sections 15301 and 15302 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the Proposed
