Reasons for Exemption
Project is in forestland partly devastated by the Valley Fire, declared an emergency, September 22, 2015. The project is located within a FRAP Very High Hazard Zone; reduces the fuel load of hazardous burned trees posing a threat to public health and safety; tree removal will comply with the Tree Mortality Task Force Guidelines, 2016. The Lake County Community Development Department has determined that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
