Reasons for Exemption
This project consists of minor land alterations involving the removal of surface vegetation. A search of the Natural Diversity Database was completed in July of 2005 and results were reviewed with DFG. A CDF archaeologist reviewed the project area and had no concerns with the project as proposed. Burning will only be conducted on permissible air quality burn days. The project as proposed will not have a significant impact on the environment.
