San Luis Obispo County Parks, Environmental Determination ED26-0105

San Luis Obispo County Parks, in collaboration with the Central Coast State Parks Association and Xerces, is undertaking a project to repair the existing irrigation system at Monarch Grove located at Monarch Lane, Los Osos, California. The scope of work includes replacing the irrigation controller and repairing or replacing sprinklers, T-pipes, and drip lines. To minimize environmental impact, all work will be performed using hand tools, with total ground disturbance limited to less than 100 square feet and no grading, grubbing, or tree limbing permitted. This effort is based on the Monarch Lane Habitat Assessment and is specifically timed for completion before the seasonal arrival of Monarch butterflies to enhance their habitat. The project is situated within the Open Space land use category in the Estero Planning Area of the Coastal Zone. It has been granted categorical exemptions under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15333, as well as the general rule exemption 15061(b)(3), confirming that the repairs will not result in significant environmental effects. Administrative oversight is managed by San Luis Obispo County Parks and Recreation, with the project adhering to County General Plan and Estero Area Plan standards. No formal pricing, contract value, or federal acquisition clauses are specified, as the documentation primarily focuses on environmental determination and regulatory compliance.
