Involves the construction and location of a limited number of small structures. The project will involve minor trenching

collect hydrologic data and monitor stream flows. Stream gages would not result in a serious or major disturbance to
environmental resources. Therefore, the proposed project meets the requirements of CEQA guidelines 15303,1 5304,
and 15306 and is catagorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA.
