Type, Section or Code
Class 15304: Minor Alterations to Land
Reasons for Exemption
This project fits under the categorical exemption 15304 minor alterations to land (Class 4) which allows minor alteration of vegetation including fuel management activities to reduce the volume of flammable vegetation and hazard tree removal so long as it does not involve the removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees and the activates do not result in the taking of endangered, rare, or threatened plant/animal species or cause significant erosion and sedimentation of waters. The proposed project has been designed to protect private infrastructure, hydrology, and water and soil resources to prevent significant erosion or sedimentation of waters. The project as designed, is consistent with the use of a categorical exemption. Field review confirmed that no exceptions apply that would preclude the use of a notice of exemption for this project. Environmental review consistent with California Environmental Quality Act has concluded that no significant environmental impact would occur to aesthetic, agriculture and planning, mineral resources, noise pollution and housing, public services, recreation, transportation and traffic, utilities and services, soils, or to wildfire. The project is designed to protect private infrastructure from wildfire and provide safer ingress and egress for landowners, first responders, and emergency resources. The project will have no significant adverse effects on the environment.
