It is anticipated that the fiscal effects would be positive in nature. This project would purc"haso some merchandise locally, and provide intermittent employment for up to S people II.9 population As this project is located in an area of historically low densiiy,, and, very little change has occurred over the past 20'years, it is, not anticipated to have an effect. The adjoining subdivisions (T.) are in eX'ce3s of 'So .years old and are very sparsely Popu- lated. Though much of the rutrounding land is zoned A -S, wtptier availai')ility and sewage disposal on septic syDtems is a cohstrain't g r is to residential use.

CALIFORNIA 95065 A GOLD DR)DGING WANING REPORT ON THE DAOORRET PROPERTY IN 1941 I Oft.December 23j 1982 z met with Walt Laswell at his home in Palermo, California Walt was the General Manager and Dredgemaster for the Placer Exploration Company of Chico, California for 12 years. This company consisted of J. T. Alm, Grey Hamilton, Fred Nouns and Mr„ Harmitston. In 1940 this company Made a complete value Placer Gold Test on the 525 acres on the John Dagorret mi,-,ing property located on the Noncut Creek near Bangor, California. Laswell said. he tested the old Ihicketline Dredge tailings with a drill, rig i�id he tested tho virgin perimeter, ground with a Par X Placer rig which dug c 2I x 2+ square test hole., After spending about 6 months testing this ground he came up with an average test, of $•15 per cu. yd. (Eased on $55600 per oz. gold) which included the old bucketline tailings and the virgin perimeter ground (Note: at the prosent price of gold based uh $400.00 per ot4 this ground would now tes,b$1.65 per cu. yd.) After this testing program was completed this company moved in and setup i,,new 5 ou. yd. dragline dredge and anew Bucyrus Erie 5W Monaghan dragline wi " 5 cu, yd. Esco bucket. This dragline dredge operated on this property for about 6 months and recovered about 1j ounces per hour avevAge, I by r6dredg ng the old bucketline tailings. (Note. At the present pridA of gold based on $400.00 per ounce it mould be $600.00 per hour or $1„65 per,d,,!. yd.:) During the 6 months this dredge wrrtted exclUsivly in the old bucketlinp dredge tailings, this dredge 6jeavatod a but of 250 foot in .width And approximately It,OOO'feet in length and 20 feet in depth. (Notet the locution of this mining excavation Area is ohotn on page i of this report with a black hatch line on the Dagorrot mining property MAP) After the 6 months period in which this dredge operated it was shut down by the 'War Production aoard due to the start of World War 2, teforn tho Placer Exploration Co started their testing program they researched the back history of this property to' the early 19006. They found out that the old , bucketling dredge that mined the Dagorret property was i0 he or the first to be buili.

A545-83 phone call to Steve Streeter indicates that water may be supplied from a private water service: The Elk should be clarified as to which of these sou)+ces Will, .6e ' used, It should also be more specific as to how much of tjiz water will be lost to i hfi 1 ti,hti on through the permeable tail in0s . lind thds on high groundwater 1' bvel s b gravels and if the operation der. to below thein the operatingelevel ofnthe &edge,git will be levels aye ' � it will be necessar!! to,i;mport significant quahtities of Water to ma'htain the drbdg= ing ponds.

SCH #83060711 From Depintmar:t lot conservation --b ice of Parte 01rechir This is a review of a'Draf't Environmental Impact Report and Reclamation Plan for a proposed dredging operation along Honcut Creek in the County of butte. A site visit was made by Reclamation program staff on 21 June, 1,983 The following comments are offered by the staff of the Division of Mines and .' Geology's Reclamation>program for consideration by the County a 1) The proposed reclamation seems to be appropriate for the site and its Y intended subsequent use, r} 2) Several drainages cross the proposed mine area, These should be monitored during and after the mining operation. In order to determine the proper, design/capacity of culverts and the final drainage course and configura-. tion, Cross'seotions should be made of existing channels :to determine their characteristics (depth, width, slope, etc.) and their current. ,capacity. Both the final location and characteristics of the channels should be specified and reviewed during the `mining process to assure a final stable, non=erosive channel bed and banks. As the final ;channels will probably be "smoothdr and shorter than existed channelsbe ,'runoff will more rgpid and it niay be necessary to provide ri hip or velocity dissipators (such'as large rocks in,the channels at theronfluence of the channels with Honc+fit Creek to provide stream ero,.;ion protection.

The project may have significant adverse effects on fish and`wildlife resources by destroying riparian vegetation and causing sedimentation of Iioncui:.Creek. In addition, the project could disturb bald eagles (an endangered species) which have been reported nesting near the project site. The Department recommends the following actions to minimize iiipacts On i:ish and wildlife: 1. A 1.00-foot buffer strip along both banks of Honcut Creek should be excluded from miming to preserve riparian vegetation`. 2i xins in the dr ij i g I� edger tailings should be retained along wihJ� associated riparian These should not be used as settling ponds: 3. Settling ponds should be constructed to contain al.l process water with no surface discharge to Honcut Creels. 4. A survey should be made during March and April to determine ifeag],es nest on or near the project site: IP an active nest is foundl� miti g ation measures should be developed with Dc�)arttrent personnel, to insure proper protedtion of the nesting birds. Protection Masures for nesting eaglet inclUde a zone of li=mited human activity around the nest site; during the nesting period, usually 'Froin d hLary through July, 'he protection zone boundaries are dictated by the, � nest locatii:)n and are site specific.

A site visit was' not conducted: The following advisory comments are offered to hUtte County in your role as a lead agency under SMARA. The reclamation plan stakes that the mined land is being reclailned for graring: It also states that there is no ;;oil on the dredger tailings and that there are no 'frees, shrubs, grasb, or cross growing on the tailings now. The proposed reclamation is to level the area after, the rock, is removed. If thl�re are no plants growing on the tailings now, it does not appear likely that:: just leVeling the area would convert it to grazing land,: At Least One foot and preferably more soil added to the dredger tailings wauld make it mo't'e suitable to grow grass.
