Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Type – Class (2 and 33); California Code of Regulations, title 14, sections (15302 and 15333)
Reasons for Exemption
Class 2 because the Project consists of the replacement and reconstruction of an existing
structure of substantially the same size, purpose, and capacity.

acres in size to migratory fish passage which is intended to improve access to higher quality
spawning habitat and reduce sedimentation downstream resulting from overtopping events
which occur frequently due the current design of the crossing.
