Reasons for Exemption
The property will be acquired for fish and wildlife conservation purposes (15313 of the CEQA Guidelines) and in this connection will be operated and maintained consistent with KWBA's existing HCP and associated permits with USFWS and CDF&G. Additionally, by acquiring the property for this purpose it will be preserved as open space and not subject to development (See 15317 of the CEQA Guidelines); and Exemption Section 15061 (b) (3) of state . The aquisition will not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; and, therefore, the assignment is not subject to CEQA.
