Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15302
Reasons for Exemption
The project involves ground disturbance and building construction/reconstruction on the site of an existing CAL FIRE forest fire station. Proposed improvements will conform in style and type to existing facilities. The project site is located on slopes of less than 5%. Grading and drainage will be designed and constructed under the direction of a registered Civil Engineer. Proposed activities will not result in the taking of endangered, rare, or threatened plant or animal species. The existing apparatus building lacks historic integrity and is not a candidate for retention, restoration and/or relocation. An archaeological site survey has been prepared for the station site by a CAL FIRE Associated Archaeologist. An environmental study has been conducted to confirm that no special circumstances exist at the project site that would preclude the use of a Class 2 Categorical Exemption for CEQA compliance. The Environmental Checklist is on file at CAL FIRE.
