Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 4, Section 15304; Class 6, Section 15306

The project is also exempt under Class 6, Section 15306, because it involves data collection (potholing to determine existing buried facilities) that will not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.
