Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
S:15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
Tulare Lake has determined that there are no foreseeable environmental impacts because, both lands have been actively farmed, no new land has been developed, no additional groundwater will be pumped, and there is no physical change associated with this project. The single year transfer is also exempt from CEQA under Water Code Section 1729. Further, the transfer is categorically exempt under CEQA since it involves the use and operation of an existing facility.
