Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 4: Minor Alterations to Land (§15304)
Reasons for Exemption
The project is non-ground disturbing except for the minor disturbance of planting a mix of container plants and seeds. The property has been in production agriculture for decades and thus is already heavily disturbed. No channel disturbance, mastication, or herbicide are authorized. Project implementation, as designed, would have less than significant impact in each resource area and an exemption pursuant to §15304 is indicated.
