Document Description
The proposed project involves the installation of one stream gage consisting of two poles, approximately 2 inches in diameter, which will be driven into the ground to support the necessary measuring equipment.

The installation is expected to be completed in a one-week period during dry creek conditions. No in-water work would be conducted.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15303 New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures; 15304. Minor Alt. to Land; 15306. Information Collection
Reasons for Exemption
Installation of the stream gage would involve minor trenching and backfilling, where the ground surface would be restored and no in-water work. The proposed installation of the stream gage would qualify for categorical exemptions 15303 (new construction or conversion of small structures), 15304 (minor alterations to land), and 15306 (information collection) because proposed activities would result in temporary, minor ground disturbance, collect important hydrologic data, and not result in a significant effect on the environment.
