Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sections 15303 and 15304
Reasons for Exemption
(1) The proposed project includes the installation of approximately 1,050 feet of 4-inch diameter Class 160 PVC underground irrigation mainline for the purpose of irrigation water conveyance and liquefied manure application. This is an extension of the Dairy Facility's irrigation water conveyance and liquefied manure application systems, and this work clearly fits within the description of the Class 3 Categorical Exemption.
(2) The proposed pipeline will be laid in a trench with a typical depth and width of approximately 30 inches and 6 inches, respectively. The trench will be backfilled with native soil and all disturbed areas will be seeded with a pasture seed mix. This is a relatively minor trenching and backfilling activity where the surface is restored, and this work clearly fits within the description of the Class 4 Categorical Exemption.
(3) The proposed project entails no exceptions to categorical exemptions.
