Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Ministerial
Type, Section or Code
Sec. 21080(b)(1); 15268
Reasons for Exemption
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 2770(h) and consistent with the State Mining and Geology Board’s guidance, approval of an Interim Management Plan is a ministerial action that ensures regulatory compliance during idle periods. Because the Plan is limited to ongoing maintenance and stabilization of an existing mining operation, and does not authorize new construction, expansion, or changes in land use, it is not a discretionary project under CEQA and has no potential to
result in a significant environmental effect.
