Document Description
Removal of four (4) existing wooden piles that are deteriorating which currently support a boat lift and roof. The two existing steel piles of the boat lift will remain while the wooden piles will be replaced with steel piles that are necessary to ensure the project's structural integrity. Wooden piles will be cut down to the lakebed level and the new steel piles will be installed close to the previous wood pile locations.
Workers/crews will park vehicles on the driveway of the house which is accessed through Paradise Lagoon Drive. All construction activities and equipment will be on barges floating near the existing boat lift (work area). Construction equipment will include the following: crane, barge, transport barge, and drop hammer style equipment that is housed on the crane/barge setup. Crews will have pedestrian access to the project site predominantly through the property's side yard. Due to limited access for heavy equipment, tracked equipment will not be used.
All work will take approximately one (1) month from the start date. Vegetation is not present on site. Work is scheduled to occur between October 15 to December 31 to avoid the Clear Lake hitch. A site diagram and habitat evaluation completed for the project are attached.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Section 15303 Class 3 New Construction or Conversio
Reasons for Exemption
Pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Section 15303 Class 3 New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures will be applied to the proposed project. The project includes the removal of wooden pilings to be replaced with steel pilings in the existing disturbed footprint. The County has concluded that no known impacts covered in the exceptions listed in the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Section 15300.2 would occur from the proposed project based on the following: There is no vegetation at the site. All work would occur between October 15 to December 31 to avoid the State listed Clear Lake hitch (Lavinia exilicauda chi). The CNDDB database resulted in no other records of federal or state listed endangered or threatened animal or plant species. Although there are other lakebed projects that occurred around the lake prior to the proposed project, and some that will occur at the same time and after, the majority would be temporary with no or minimal expansion which sometimes can be associated with an increase of use. There are no officially designated state scenic highways according to the Caltrans List of Officially Designated County Scenic Highways. There are no recorded hazardous waste sites according to the State’s Envirostor database. The project site is not on the California Historical Resources list and there are no other known historical resources. The Lake County Community Development Department has determined that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
