Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15307 (Class 7); 15308 (Class 8)
Reasons for Exemption
In compliance with CEQA, the Department approved the project relying on the categorical exemptions contained in CEQA Guidelines of Title 14, CCR: Section 15307 (Action by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of Natural Resources) and Section 15308 (Action by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment). The exemptions apply to agency actions to protect natural resources and the environment, respectively. This action implements a fishing advisory, which will have the overall effect of reducing the entanglement risk by educating fishermen of areas of whale presence and entanglement risk. Therefore, this action is the proper subject of CEQA’s Class 7 and 8 categorical exemptions.
