Section 759 - Preparation and Filing of Negative Declaration

A Negative Declaration shall be prepared for a project which could potentially have a significant effect on the environment, but which Fish and Game finds on the basis of an Initial Study will not have a significant effect on the environment. Before completing a Negative Declaration, Fish and Game shall consult with all responsible agencies pursuant to Section 15066 of the State EIR Guidelines. This consultation shall be accomplished through transmittal of the results of the Initial Study to the agencies by a memorandum from the Director requesting their comments and recommendations on the proposed Negative Declaration. Coordination and staff assistance to the Lead Unit will be the responsibility of the Environmental Services Branch. The Negative Declaration shall include:

(a) A brief description of the project; including a commonly used name for the project, if any;
(b) The location of the project and the name of the project proponent;
(c) A finding that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment;
(d) An attached copy of the Initial Study documenting reasons to support the finding;
(e) Mitigation measures, if any, included in the project to avoid potentially significant effects.
