Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15262 and 15306
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15262 because it involves only feasibility and planning studies for possible future actions not yet funded by the Conservancy and the project will consider environmental factors in the plan development and permit applications. The project is also categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15306 because it involves data collection and resource evaluation activities that do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.
