Document Description
This project, to be carried out by the City of Clear Lake Public Works employees and community volunteers, involves planting of 40 trees in the parking lot and around recreational facilities on the grounds of the Redbud Park which is under construction. Volunteers will provide for the early tree care and long-term maintenance. Grant funding will also be used to install a temporary irrigation system to help establish the trees. The trees proposed for this project, Chinese pistache and Liquid ambar, were selected for their adaptability to local environmental conditions, pest resistance, appropriateness to the planting site, shade capacity, lack of significant nuisance potential, etc: Planting stock will consist of 15-gallon trees. All trees will be planted, staked and tied, watered and maintained in accordance with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's tree planting guidelines. Funding will also be used to conduct a public education program. It is anticipated that this project will begin May 2000, and be completed by Dec. 2000.

Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
class 4; section 15304
Reasons for Exemption
This project involves minor alterations to land and vegetation including the planting of new landscaping trees. As this is a heavily disturbed urban environment there is a low likelihood of impacting any significant biological resources. CDF's archaeological staff have visited the site and determined the proposed tree planting will have no significant impacts on the cultural or historic resources present at the site. CDF's finds that the proposed activities will pose an insignificant less than significant impact to the environmental, cultural, historic and biological resources.
