Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 4, CCR Section 15304
Reasons for Exemption
Class 4, CCR Section §15304 consists of minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water and/or vegetation which does not involve the removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees except for forestry or agricultural purposes. Furthermore, in accordance with CCR Section §15300.2, a Class 4 exemption location must be considered for significant impacts. An Environmental Review Report for an Exempt Project was prepared for the proposed project and it was determined that the project will not have a significant impact on the environment, and the objectives of enhancement and restoration of wildlife and pollinator habitat, and the implementation activities as designed for this project, will result in minor alterations to land and vegetation, and therefore fit within the CCR Section 15304 exemptions.
