Page 2
The project has been determined to be in compliance with the General Plan and is exempt from
CEQA because this project consists of maintenance desilting of existing flood control channels.
No mature, scenic trees will be removed and the soil will be deposited in an upland location
(Section 15304 of the CEQA guidelines).
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Delay in approving the project may result in damage to properties abutting the channels. If a
design capacity event occurs, flooding will result along the banks of the channels due to
decreased capacities.
