Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15304 Class 4 Categorical Exemption, Minor Alterations to Land
Reasons for Exemption
CCR defines a Section 15304 Class 4 categorical exemption as "minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation which do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees except for forestry or agricultural purposes." This program will remove fine fuels and ladder fuels in existing open space in order to provide protective fuel reduction to surrounding developments. Solano RCD staff conducted a CNDDB search and determined that project activities will not cause significant adverse impact to special status species. The construction of up to 0.4 miles of new dozer line will not have a significant impact considering existing dozer line already in place at the project site.
