DISCUSSION Or- FNVTRnhJMFtJTAL FVALUATION AP 21_01_$0 etc. _ If)3f: This Project involves more than 4-1/2 miles of out -to Creek frontage. Cultivation of the soil within the immediate vicinity of the creek banks can Increase deposition OF sediments into the water. In large amounts, these sediments can reduce water qLA011ty and fisheries' habItat. For, these reasons, It is recommended that the agricultural practices do not encroach Wthin 100 feet from the top of Butte Creek's banks. 1g: The primary soil type on site Is Stockton Adobe With portions of Sacramento Clay, Rocklin Fine Sandy Loam, Landlow ClaY Adobe and others., None of these soils are considered prime agri(luitural. The soils are, however, well silted to rice production. the project will not directly result in the loss of any of these soils Igo rural or suburban uses. 8b: Numerous natural and man-made drainage sNales ancl Canals cross the property. Major changes to the drainage regime have already occurred with the rice operation. The Proposed division will not directly result In any changes to the existing drainage patterns. 3j: An extensive area of Zone A floodWay has been mapped north of the Cherokee Canal. All of Sections 17, 20, 21, 27, 28, 29, 32, 33 and 34 are within this Zone A flood boundary. Half Of Section 22 is within the flood zone. Sections 2, 15s 23 and 35 are the only lands above the floodplain. These are the only properties suitable for development. Normally, those, areas within the Zone A flood boundary are designated as no -development areas, but because of the extensive floodway on this property It may be more appropriate to designate those areas which are suitable for development. 4b: Stands of riparian vegetation have been mapped along Butte Creek In Sections 17, 29, 32 and Section 5 In Township 17N. Riparian vegetation Is rare and limited statewide. Although this proposal will not directly result in the removal of this riparian veeetation, common agricultural practices Could devastatO It. To Protect this resource, the stands should be identified as no"development areas for both structures and agricultural Practicesq or easements should be conveyed to the California Native Plant Society. Ono benefit to the property ownerofthis vegetation, aside from aesthetics and wildlife habitat$ Is soil Stability. Riparian vegetation Protects banks from excessive erosion.' during high flow porlods. 4d,' The division will have no direct Impact on the amount of property devoted to agricultural production,, 5bp' During, the winter months, rare and endangered Species have been sighted throughout the subject proper -by. There isalso a concentration of N"Interine waterfowl. Most raptors and the migrating waterfowl are adaptable to the r1ce1and habitat.
