Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301 and 15304
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is exempt through Section 15301 because the project is for maintenance of existing fuel management areas involving no expansion to former use. The proposed project is also exempt through Section 15304 because it involves minor alterations to land through the removal of dead vegetation, fuel reduction, vegetation management, shaded fuel breaks, and enhancement of fire-prone habitats using methods known to reduce fire risk. Methods include hand tools and grazing. Grazing will be limited to existing fuel management areas and fencing, or similar barriers, will be utilized to distinguish areas.
Additionally, the project will not impact environmental resources of hazardous or critical concern that are designated, precisely mapped and officially adopted by government agencies; does not contribute to cumulative environmental impact; will not have a significant impact on the environment due to unusual circumstances; does not damage scenic resources within a designated state scenic highway; is not on the list of Hazardous Waste and Substance Sites pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code; and does not cause adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
