Notice of Exemption

Exempt Status

Categorical Exemption

Type, Section or Code

S:15061(b)(3);15061(b)(3);15301;

Reasons for Exemption

The renewed Conditional Waiver will not have any effect on the environment because the environmental baseline, against which the NCRWQCB considers environmental impacts of a project, includes the protections provided by the 2012 Conditional Waiver. The renewed waiver covers existing dairies which have undergone no expansion in size. New or expanding dairies must apply for individual permits from the NCRWQCB.
