Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 6 Categorical Exemption
Reasons for Exemption
Class 6 Categorical Exemption consists of basic data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. These may be strictly for information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action which a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded. This project is being done for the purpose of data collection to evaluate and manage an environmental resource by a public agency, and therefore qualifies under this exemption.
Exempt Status
Ministerial
Type, Section or Code
Section 21080 of the Public Resources Code
Reasons for Exemption
Wells such as these require only a ministerial well permit from the County.
