Document Description
The project is located near the town of Occidental, CA, approximately 1.5 miles north of the post office. The purpose of the project is to reduce hazardous fuels and improve forest resilience. Project area slopes are moderate (20-40 degrees), with generally south-facing aspect. Vegetation is primarily a Douglas-fir alliance forest with patches of tanoak forest, coyote bush chaparral, and mixed annual and native grassland. This Project is funded by the North Bay Forest Improvement Program. The Project involves vegetation thinning to reduce wildfire risk and improve forest health. Work will be completed using hand crews, hand tools and chainsaws, with cut vegetation piled and burned. The project will avoid impacts to sensitive resources, retain mature trees, and support long-term forest health and fire resilience.

15304 Minor Alteration to Land
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt because the planned activities meet the definition of “forestry” in PRC§753, and have been reviewed and approved by a Registered Professional Forester in consultation with experts from other pertinent fields who have attested that the activities proposed in this project will only have the potential for at most impacts that are less than significant to the environment, having provided adequate measures for avoidance of sensitive environmental resources. Project activities will not involve the removal of healthy, mature, or scenic trees, and will not result in a substantial alteration of the current function of the land. Project specific analysis is on file at the RCD.
