Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
CLASS 6, INFORMATION COLLECTION (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15306)
Reasons for Exemption
Issuance of a letter of non-objection for pedestrian access to conduct biological
surveys will only cause a minor physical change in the environment and will not
change existing activities in the area. There is no reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances.
Therefore, the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and the
above categorical exemption applies.
