Document Description
There are numerous structures at Coyote Lake-Harvey Bear Ranch County Park located in the Mendoza Ranch area, where the WERC is moving in as a lessee. WERC will bring in various wildlife species for rehabilitation and education for the public, so a revised chain-link fencing installation will serve as a protective feature surrounding all the site animals' cages, pens, coops, and enclosures. The fence will protect the animals from prohibited public access. Approximately 800' of galvanized chain-link fence will be installed in total, and replace the existing barbed-wire fence in this vicinity. The chain-link fence will be 8' high with additional barbed wire and plastic slats.

Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code

Reasons for Exemption
The chain-link fence will not take away any visibility or access to the WERC animals via staff and public groups hosted by the staff, nor alter the structures. The fence will conform to the topographic areas and require minimal plant removal (invasive vegetation/ native grass). There is existing barbed wire fencing around this site area that will be removed, and chain-link fencing will be installed in the same footprint wherever feasible.
