Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15333, Small Habitat Restoration Projects
Reasons for Exemption
Vegetation thinning and willow planting activities would be minor and no removal of healthy, mature, or scenic trees is proposed. Willow plantings will enhance riparian habitat around the Reservoir. The Project would not have a reasonable possibility to have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances.
