Reasons for Exemption
The project consists of Marin County Parks (MCP) entering into a Permission to Enter and Construct Agreement with PG&E to allow construction of a new powerline alignment and to provide conveyance of a permanent easement to PG&E for maintenance of the powerline. PG&E’s proposed relocation an existing overhead powerline would result in the minor alteration of existing facilities located on public land involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.
Neither the agreement nor the proposed powerline relocation would result in impacts on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies. The proposed project is not located on a hazardous waste site pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. The project area is not located within an officially designated state scenic highway and nonetheless would not affect scenic resources including trees, historical buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resource. The project area is located adjacent to wetlands with the potential of habitat for special status species. PG&E would implement Best Management Practices to avoid negative impact to these species as described in the Permission to Enter and Construct Agreement. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in cumulative impacts; result in a significant effect to the environment due to unusual circumstances; or change the significance of a historical resource.
