Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
C:6;S:15306
Reasons for Exemption
Statutory Exemption - Feasibility and Planning Studies (Section 15262 of the State CEQA Guidelines)
The preparation of the IRWMP update, climate change technical study and salt and nutrient management plan are exempt under the provisions of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, since they involve only conceptual plans associated with feasibility and planning studies for possible future actions, as well as basic data collection and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. These activities will be strictly for information gathering purposes, or as part of studies leading to actions which a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded. Accordingly, the IRWMP update, climate change technical study and salt and nutrient management plan qualify for the feasibility and planning studies statutory exemption and a categorical exemption for information gathering purposes.
