DATE'. October 29, 1986
This is a proposal to divide 560 acres into 49 parceltv. The present
zoning Is A-5. The 5 acre minimum was originally adopted In 1957.
The Land Use Plan Map of the Butte County General Plan designates this,
area as AgrIcultural-Ret1deni-I-1. There are no specific or community
plans for the area.
An archaeological survey has been prepared on-site. Four prehistoric
and three historic cultural resources were recorded. No Mitigation
Measures are required. Clearance is recommended. The geologic survey
recorded numerous faults) 11hoamoots and ground ruptures in the
',Ialnllty- No faults cross this property; geologic . hazards are
moderate.
The California State Department Of Real Estate has determined that the
map does not qualify as a land PrOJect, A specific plan Is not
required.
Palermo Union School District hat expressed concerns about providing
transportation to students generated by the subdivision.

SEISMIC HAZARD AT THE T1qTN LAKES TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION,
EAST OF PALERMO '
CONCLUSIONS
.No evidence of an active fault was found on the property.
Faults (11ac4C.1vell and "activity unknown") from map II -1 of the
General Plan do not cross it. Ground shaking is the main
potential seismic hazard. it can be mitigated by cons Cruc ti ng
dwellings and/or installing mobile homes in such manner as to
resist lateral forces.
INTRODUCTION
The Turin LaIKOS tentative subd!Vi5:-L0'n (AP T#' 27-16-8 & 9)
consists of, almost 260 acres located about M mi southeast
of PalOtMb, in SeC86 13 and 240 TIBN, R4E. Access is from
Alta Aikosa Drive) south from OtUbbs Raad4
A preliminary assessment of the tentative map by staff of
the county Planning Department led to the conclusion that
seismic hazard exists becau8oi as noted on the environmental
review formi the Foothill ShL-ar zone crosses the property,
and is capable of producing a 6i0-maqnitude earthquak.0, They
reqLiested a geological study to locate the fault and map it
as a hb"development area.
Barnhart -Brown & A8sociate$3 of Oroville asked me to prv�-
pate the required geological report. I examined the site
on February 9, 1985.
TOPOOPAP8Yj SOILS ,AND GEOLOGY
LYd6h page two
February 16, 1985
The site consists of a flat
gravelly upland Cut by a small
tributary system Of Honcut Creek. Slopes range from flat to about
25 %49 slopes in excess of 20 % cover much Of the area and are
marked on the tentative map.
According to mapping by the U.S. Soil Vegetation Survey (Smith'
et al. 1976), soil on the Property ',.)elongs to the 'NCIWville varienti
series, typically a yellowish -brown to reddish -brown gravelly
sandy clay loam; it forms rms On conglomerate and is characterized by
slow permeability, MOderately-high runoff potential, and slight
erosion hazard. Not shown on the SV8 map is the Auburn -series
GOil that has formed on (and is restricted to) the metavolcanic
rock in Sections}, it is a brownish -orange to reddish silt loam,
tYPicall)r 10 to 20 inches deep, Marked by moderate permeability,
moderately -high runoff Potential, and slight erosion hazard.
Three rock Units are Present on the site (see entlosed geo-
logic map of the property): medium- to dark -green metavolcanic
I
rock displaying jointing and weak foliationi nioderatel-v-consolidat-
ed I Gravel conglomerate of the lower mew. I ber of the Laguna Formation;
and younger, weakly -consolidated gravel conglomerate along modern
stream courses_;
In the metavolcanic rock, joints are fractures in which very
Small ,movements have Occurred at right angles to the plane of
fracture;their Origin is not related to oarthquakes. Foliation
consists Of planar orientation Of disk- and rod -shaped m1h0rals
that grew during metamorphism. The geological map shows that
joinWsand
foliation have a northerly trend and vertical or hear -
vertical inciinations.
At point A on the geologic mapt a blui8h-groen, 8ticky,
Plastic clay is Present in , metavolcanic rock
I exposed in -,a stream -
bank just beneath the lowest part of the lag -Una gravel.. This kind
of clay is sometimes found in fault zones (where it '8 callc
',fault ougeo)- However, this Particular p 1 ' -,a
_xpo8ure is judges not:
to be a fault becauso:, (1) some clay shows apparently -undisturbed
telict: rock structure, and Some clay can be traced latarally Into
increasin mftlWolcanic roc'j,,4
I although the exposure
n

is only 2 to 3 ft high, the abundance of clay appears to decrease
slightly, downward; and (3) no evidence of a possible projection
or trend of a fault Lone ;such as linear wet zones or changes it
vegetation) was found outside the northeastern streamb;an,!c. The
clay is interpreted as having formed as a weathering hovi,zon on
the metavolcanic rock, under conditions of impaired drainage,
prior to deposition of the Laguna gravel. Except for this single
exposure, no other $..ndication of possible faulting was ,found in
the metavolcanic rock;
The Laguna gravel. conglomerate (and its Newville variant soil)
supports mainly grassland with scattered oaks; even under 1-1,
resulting conditions of good access and visibility, careful exam-
ination on the ground and in low --level air photos failed to. yield
any direct or .inferred evidence of fault activity. Because the
.lower member of the Laguna Formation has been determined to 'be
3.6 to 32 million years old (Busacca 1982), we must conclude that,
even if the clay at Point A is related to a fault, there is still
no evidence of movement during a relatively -long Interval of
geologi^al time.
The younger gravel deposits follow modern streamcourses. They
were formed by deposition of eroded Laguna gravel, and hence re-
semble it in many respects, except for being only weakly consol-
idated. The younger gravels have been worked by gold dredges,, so
that much of the younger -gravel unit shown on the geological map
consists of dredger tailings.
In addition to the geological map, there is enclosed a copy of
parte of the Bangor 7.5 --min. quadrangle on which has been plotted'
the locad.ons of; ground cracking that occurred during the 1975
earthquake series; faults from map II -1 of the County General Plan;
lineaments observed on low-level black -and -white aerial photographs,-
and
hotographs!and the approximate outline of the p'operty.
A lineament is a line or band,, usually seen on aerial or
satellite photographs, ,that results from alignment of visible
features, such as vegetation, tonal changes (caused by moisture
Lydon page lour
February 16, 1935
differences), ridges, saddles, stream beds, etc. A lineament can.
be caused b a
Y • variet Y of geologic features (such as joints or
changes in rock.type), including faults.
,Lineaments near the property, seen on aerial photographs flown
in 1982, consist of sharp gullies, tonal changes, vegetation
changes, and aligned vegetation. None of them is on the property,
nor.do any trend toward it.
Faults shown on map TI -1 of the General Plan were scaled from
township lines (the principal lines of reference on map :II -1) to
the,larger-scale topographic map, p, where it is evident that none of
the faults crosses the: property.
Locations ofground cracking plotted on the enclosed map 're-
veal no trend that passes through or near the property.
SEISMIC HAZARD HISTORY
In august 1975, a magnitude 5.7 earthquake accursed, along with
numerous fore= and aftershocks -'its epicenter was located near
Palermo, about 3.5 mi northwest of the property, The Cleveland
Hill fault ? mi northeast of the property moved at that time;
ground cracking, apparently not related to specific faults, occur-
red over many square miles, east of Palermo.
Because of concern over the Auburn dam, the earthquake series
Prompted extensive1 study of the seismicity of the Sierran foot-
hills b '
relevant conclusion arid oaniirts, The principal

lineament") just east of Palermo;
CONCLUSIONS CONtcERNINO SSISMIC HAZARD
No evidence of an active fault ��as found on the
property, and
page five
16, 1985
faults ('active,, and "activity unknown") shown on map II -1 of the
General Plan do not cross it. A future earthquake in the region
similar to or larger than that of 1975 should be considered likely,.
although the time and speciic location of its occurrence cannot
be predicted. Soil on the property generally is well drained, and
has a high enough clay content that liquefaction during an earth-
quake is unlikely. if strong shaking occurs when the around is
saturated, small. -scale slumping in the two gravel units could: occur
where slopes are steep over short distances; this kind of condition
is most likely to exist close to permanent or intermittent stream
courses. (It should be noted th? construction in such areas is
unlikely, because of already -existing setback requirements.)
The seismic history of the region and evidence from examining
the.property indicate that ground shaking is the principal potent-
ial seismic hazard. Construction of dwellings resistant to lateral
forces, as outlined in the requirements of the uniform Building
Code, should provide reasonable mitigation of the hazard. Construe-
tion near year --round or intermittent stream courses should be a-
voided, Construction on the young gravel deposits or dredger
tailings also should be avoided, because of the probability of
being affected by lurching and groundcracking'during strong
shakingi
it mobile homes are to be placed on the site, another mitiga-
tion that might be, considered is to require that they be tied 1.
down., braced, or otherwise treated so as to resist lateral Forces d
from earthquakes, Based on studies by Steinbrugge et al. (1980)0
y q resulting in a maximum intensity
a nearby magn:�tude-6.5 earthquake
of Vlll+ could cause an average loss among non-earthquaace--resistant
mobile homes of about 12 percent of value, loss from injury in
Mobile homes is generally similar to that experienced in wood -
frame d'vellings

lb,c-. Nine acres of ground will be compacted and overcryYO,-retJ by
roadways and hamesites. The proposed road alignment is 11tit sensitive
to topography and will require grading, cut and -Fill.
le,f; Erosion control measures will be required to stabilize all
banks of graded and/or cleared areas. Erosion and Sedimo-tit Control
Handbook (May 19611 Aspo press) delineates specific mQanures to limit
erosion and subsequent sedimentation of area creeks.
its Newville Variant is not a prime agricultural soil, having a low
suitability for extensive ran(`a use.
Iht The foothill Shear Zone crosses this property, capable of
producing a 6oO earthquake at any time. This fault shmtAld be loc�_ted
and mapped as a no development area.
3b,clit Slopes adjacent to the drainages naturally preclude most
development. However, the access road does cross drainage requiring
culvert installation. Those new roads will alter on-site drainage by
providing an easy flow route for storm waters* Development of roads
and homesitos will generate larger volumes of starm water runoff than
the pi,opurty would in its natural state. Since the lands
configuration provides for natural sheet flow into existing swales,
drainage shouldn't be too much of a concern. A Zone "All flood
boQndary is located along Honcut Crook, along the northwest line, of
Sectiat; 214* Additional runoff will increase the area of flooding..
I-ots V.1-26 are within a Zone A +load boundary, with lots 18-212 havinq
the greatest hazard. The Zone A +load boundary and any changes in
configuration development will cause must be indicated on the map*
Building within the flood area is not advisail e,
3h% goof of water tufficient to supt,3ort this development an wells is
required,
Sd- Oak woodland will be converted to residential uses. Intruzion by
ca;,s and domestic animals will force wild animals into smaller and
smaller areaz. The ultimate. result is a reduction in the number of
species and population sizes.

8: Those 5�0 acres are undeveloped, rolling +oothill%. Development
of roads and homesites to accommodate 118 persons will porMahently
change the character and feeling of the propertya AdJa(nnt lands to
the north and west have subdivided into 5 acre lots, bul have not
built out. The site of the project, and involvement in adiacent
developments meets the requirements of a "land project". Prior to
approving it a specific plan must be prepared. Costs of preparing the
plan shall be borne by the aoplicant.
1:5: Area roads are dirt and gravel. They require mor:(", maintenance
than asphalt and cannot be dedicated to the County. Circulation will
have to be provided in accordance with the Subdivision ot-dinance. An
alt,rrnate access road to Dunstone or west to tie in witil neighboring
developments should be coe,sidered.
The specific plan should analyze all possible circulation routes. Any
place the access road crosses a swale or creek, a bridqt2 or culvert
shall be installed capable of supporting an emergency vehicle. A road
maintenance agreement should be made an integral part of the project.
14. Development of this project will increase demand for all
governmental services. There. are no Sheriffs patrol in the area,
service is provided an an "on call" basis only, The nearest fire
station is 5 miles west. Pressurized water is not a-railable for use
in an :emergency. Pressurized water storage, hydrants and
non-flammable buil ,ding materials should be incorporated into the
project to limit fire hazards,
16e: Drainage facilities will be required with all road construction.
20at An archaeological survey will be required over the entire
property. Any recommendations of the archaeologist shall be
incorporated into the project.
