Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
This action is consistent with Section 15061(b)(3), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if "The activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the
environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA." The use of Section 15061(b)(3) is applicable and appropriate
because preparing the report will not make any physical change to the environment since it only involves gathering information to prepare a written report concerning whether or not the County of Tulare is in compliance with the 2017 Animal Confinement
Facilities Plan ("2017 ACFP") and the 2017 Dairy and Feedlot Climate Action Plan ("2017 Dairy CAP").
This action is consistent with Section 15306 Class 6, pertaining to basic data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. The use of Section 15306 is applicable and appropriate because preparing the report will not make any physical change to the environment because it only involves gathering information to prepare a written report concerning whether or not the County of Tulare is in compliance with the 2017 ACFP and the 2017 Dairy CAP.
