Letter of Non-Objection to Conduct Biological and Cultural Resources Surveys

The California State Lands Commission has issued a Letter of Non-Objection for the conduct of biological and cultural resources surveys in support of the Sierra Resource Conservation District's Fuel Break Expansion project. The scope of work is centered on State-owned School Lands Parcel 149-001, located in Fresno County. These activities are classified under Categorical Exemption Class 6 for information collection, as the surveys are determined to cause no physical change or significant environmental effect. The period of performance for these surveys extends from the date of approval through July 1, 2027. A critical constraint of this authorization is that there shall be no ground disturbance during the surveying process. The project is managed by the California State Lands Commission, with Christopher Hall serving as the primary environmental scientist and point of contact.
