Type, Section or Code
CLASS 6, INFORMATION COLLECTION (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15306)
Reasons for Exemption
Issuance of a letter of non-objection to conduct biological and cultural resource
surveys will not cause a physical change in the environment and will not change

the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and the above
categorical exemption applies.
