Reasons for Exemption
The project involves data collection and resource evaluation and is thus categorically exempt under CEQA, per §15306 pertaining to information collection activities that do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

Reasons for Exemption
The project also involves preparation of designs, environmental studies, an operations plan, and permit applications, which are also exempt from the provisions of the CEQA pursuant to 14 Cal.

Consistent with this section, the project will consider environmental factors in the plan development and permit applications.
