Document Description
The Santa Clara Valley Habitat Agency will implement restoration and repair of an existing cattle stock pond (Pond 6). Pond 6 historically provided water for cattle grazing and aquatic breeding habitat for native amphibians. Over time, structural failure and sedimentation have reduced pond depth, hydroperiod, and habitat quality. The project restores ecological functions of the pond through excavation and berm repair.
Project activities include:
• Removal of approximately 100 cubic yards of accumulated sediment
• Stabilization and repair of pond berm and spillway
• Limited recontouring within existing pond basins to create a mix of deep pool and shallow margin habitat

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, section 15333 (Class 33)
Reasons for Exemption
The project qualifies for the Class 33 categorical exemption because it does not exceed 5 acres in size and consists of restoration and enhancement activities within an existing stock pond. Short-term construction effects are temporary, localized, and consistent with typical habitat restoration actions. The project will not result in significant adverse impacts to biological resources. Restoration actions are designed to improve long-term aquatic habitat conditions.
