Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Minor alteration to land, Section 15304
Reasons for Exemption
This project involves minor brushing, thinning, and pile burning. This project will reduce the risk of fire spread, protecting communities of people and ecosystems. No impacts to hazardous or critical resources and no cumulative effects from successive projects will occur. The District finds that this project does not have the potential to significantly degrade environmental factors, such as aesthetics, agriculture/forestry, air quality, biological/cultural/tribal resources, geology/soils, greenhouse gases, hydrology/water quality, land use, minerals, noise, population, public services, recreation, transportation, or utilities and is therefore, categorically CEQA exempt.
