Document Description
The geotechnical site reconnaissance will include temporary disturbance primarily in unvegetated areas for access routes, two (2) bulk soil samples and 16
boreholes, with depth range up to 10' each. Geotechnical information will be used in the design and construction of a proposed 800-acre wetland
enhancement project. Measures to avoid impacts include seasonal restrictions on work, avoidance of habitat features, and retaining on-site monitors for
biological and cultural resources during all field activities. Boreholes will be refilled with natural material immediately after sample collection.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15306, Class 6, Information Collection
Reasons for Exemption
The use of avoidance measures and on-site biological and cultural resources monitors during field activities would ensure no impacts to sensitive resources would occur, which is in compliance with CEQA Section 15300.2 (Exceptions). Therefore, the project is exempt under Section 15306 which allows for basic data collection and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource, and which are undertaken for information gathering purposes.
