CAL FIRE Exemption Notices Historical TA83

All Exemption Notices (EXs) of Timber Operations accepted by the California Department of Forestry &amp; Fire Protection. Operations are exempt from the plan preparation and submission requirements of PRC § 4581, and may be exempt from the completion report and stocking report requirements (PRC §§ 4585 and 4587) of the Forest Practice Act.  Public Utility and other Right-of-Way Exemptions are not included. See CAL FIRE Exemption Notices Right-of-Way for this data. Data set includes current year plus two preceding years. For previous years see data set CAL FIRE Exemption Notices Historical. <div><br /></div><div>To learn more about Exemptions, refer to 14 CCR §§ 1038 and 1104.1(a) in the <a href='https://bof.fire.ca.gov/regulations/bills-statutes-rules-and-annual-california-forest-practice-rules' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>California Forest Practice Rules</a>.

Vegetation Grasslands - Alameda and Contra Costa County [ds3205]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>At the request of the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBPRD), Nomad Ecology (Nomad), Benson Bio Consulting (Shelly Benson), and Tukman Geospatial (project manager Brittany Burnett) conducted a fine-scale grassland vegetation mapping project on 11,000 acres of grasslands and low-cover shrublands in 16 parks owned and managed by East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. </span><span>This project used field vegetation sampling and mapping to produce a fine-scale vegetation map (alliance and association level) to identify the composition and location of these native grassland vegetation types, so mapped polygons do not correspond with any imagery base.  Areas mapped in the enhanced lifeform map as anything except upland herbaceous or non-native herbaceous were excluded from the matrix. These matrix polygons were incorporated into the final grassland map and flagged "Yes” in the field “Matrix Flag.”. The methods used for this vegetation sampling and mapping project are consistent with the Manual of California Vegetation and followed protocols established by CDFW VegCAMP and CNPS. This map was made in 2023.</span></p><p><span>This fine scale grassland map represents native grasslands and low-cover shrublands throughout select East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) lands – a 74-class grassland map with 2,805 polygons. The mapping was conducted in the spring-summer of 2023 and 2024. The map also includes a non-native matrix covering areas not mapped as native grasslands or low-cover shrublands. After field work concluded, field staff conducted a thorough quality assurance process, which involved checking for polygons under the 1/5-acre minimum mapping unit (MMU), overlapping polygons, and accurate data attribution.</span></p><p><span>Spatial data for this project is also available on pacificvegmap.org. The report for this project is available here: </span><a href='https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=239500' style='text-decoration:underline;' rel='nofollow ugc'><span style='font-size:12pttext-decoration:underline;'>https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=239500</span></a></p><p><span /></p><p><span /></p></div></div></div>
