Letter of Non-Objection to Conduct Magnetotelluric Surveys

The California State Lands Commission has issued a letter of non-objection to Koloma Exploration, LLC to conduct magnetotelluric surveys on State-owned School Lands located in Lake County. The primary objective of this project is to map geological and geophysical features by recording naturally occurring electromagnetic fields and collecting data on subsurface rock formations. The scope of work covers nine specific locations, including various parcel IDs and sections within T12N R9W and T12N R8W. The technical execution of the surveys involves minor physical ground disturbances, specifically the temporary burial of electrodes and coils six inches deep, as well as the vertical burial of one-meter-long coils to a depth of 2.5 feet. This activity is classified under a Categorical Exemption for information collection per California Code Regulations, as the surveys are not expected to significantly affect the environment. The project is identified under file reference A5638 and falls under NAICS code 541360.
