Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301; 15304; 15306; 15307; 15308
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed agreements are determined to be Categorically Exempt pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines and the Sections of the District’s Guidelines for Compliance with CEQA as identified above. These are appropriate for the agreements because they involve no expansion of use beyond that previously existing, no permanent effects on the environment, provide data collection, research, resource evaluation activities, and potentially responding to requests from regulatory agencies which would not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. The District has determined none of the five exceptions to the use of a categorical exemption apply to this project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2).
