Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301, 15304
Reasons for Exemption
This project is intended to facilitate the maintenance of existing facilities through the periodic and incidental removal of trees. This project will not enable the expansion of an existing use of these facilities nor result in the conversion of timberland. These activities will cause minimal environmental disturbance because of the limited number of trees that will need to be removed and the development that already exists at these facilities.
