Reasons for Exemption
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to prescribed fire, thinning, or fuel reduction projects undertaken on federal lands to reduce the risk of high-severity wildfire that have been reviewed under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) if the primary role of a state or local agency is providing funding or staffing for those projects. All Fort Hunter Liggett Burn Assist project activities are included in the Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan/Environmental Assessment for Fort Hunter Liggett signed in 2012. Based on the results of the Environmental Assessment it was determined that implementation of the Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan at Fort Hunter Liggett would have no significant direct, indirect, or cumulative impacts on the quality of the natural or human environment.
