Type, Section or Code
Section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
The Board has determined that the project is exempt from CEQA under the Class 1 Existing Facilities categorical exemption (CEQA California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15301), because the activity consists of removing one pipe in the existing levee system, which was determined to have exceeded its useful life and is no longer needed due to topography changes and sufficient drainage capacity downstream. No expansion of existing or former use will occur.

Section 15304
Reasons for Exemption
In addition, the project is exempt from CEQA under the Class 4, Minor Alterations to Land categorical exemption (CEQA California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15304), because the activity consists of backfilling the existing levee to preexisting condition and reseeding levee slopes, which do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees except for forestry or agricultural purposes. Further, none of the exceptions to the exemption in CEQA California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15300.2 apply.
