Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
S:15301,15302,15304,15333
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project would install new gates, fences and signs, remove weeds, and remove hazard and trash. Installation of signs, gates and fences are categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under 14 Cal, Code of Regulations Section 15301 and 15302 because it involves repair or replacement of existing facilities. Consolidation and improvements of existing trails is categorically exempt under Section 15304 as it involves only minor alterations of land. Some of the propose project involves habitat restoration, such as weed and trash removal, and therefore is categorically exempt under Section 15333 as a minor habitat restoration project smaller than 5 acres in size. Finally, development of a comprehensive interpretive program is statutorily exempt under Section 15262 since it involves only feasibility or planning studies for possible future approval and the program planning will consider environmental factors.
