Document Description
The Shasta Valley Resource Conservation District (SVRCD) proposes to install, upgrade, and operate stream gaging equipment at one location within the Shasta River Watershed to collect continuous streamflow data.
Project activities include installation or upgrading of pressure transducers, staff plates, mounting hardware, and telemetry equipment. Stream gages will be installed at existing bridge crossings or previously disturbed stream margins. Where applicable, gages will be tied into existing or newly installed telemetry systems to transmit real-time streamflow data.
The project involves minor, temporary, and localized ground disturbance for the purpose of information collection. No channel modification, flow alteration, or removal of healthy, mature vegetation is proposed. All data collected through this project will be made publicly available in accordance with California Stream Gaging Improvement Program (CalSIP) and California Department of Water Resources requirements.

Reasons for Exemption
The Shasta Valley Resource Conservation District finds that the proposed project qualifies for categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301, 15303, 15304, and 15306.
The project involves a limited number of minor, temporary, and localized alterations to land for the purpose of environmental data collection. No removal of healthy, mature, or scenic trees is proposed, and no significant disturbance to environmental resources will occur. The project does not involve hazardous materials, does not affect sensitive habitat, and does not result in cumulative impacts.
None of the exceptions to categorical exemptions listed in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. As a result, the proposed project is categorically exempt from CEQA.
