The proposed tentative subdivision 11%kila is not intended to place additional single family residences on 'the newly created parcels. let The subdividing of farm land could result in a change in current farm pract.k ;and/or management, that may result in poor soil management' policies. However, soil av%-Ion has historically not been a problem in the project area. Maintaining generally acropted soilmanagement practices and policies on ,newly created parcels is an anticipated to mitigate any significant impacts in relationship to soil erosion by land or water, 1g: The primary soil types identified at the project site are not considered prime aglZiultural soils. However, the soils are well suited for rice production. 3b: The drainage patterns of the area have been altered by agricultural management 11'ftctices.. Numerous natural and man made drainage canals cross the property. The proposed s41}division will not directly result in any changes to the existing drainage patterns or irrigation i11'xtctices. The existing drainage infrastructuf a is anticipated to be adequate despite subsequent iiitividual ownership and parcels created by the proposed project, and possible change in farm, practices' and/or management. Current high yield rice grown in the north rn Sacramento Vallee, t'cq'uires rice fields to be lazer leveled to a variance of 1/10 of a foot between checks. Sup.h precise leveling reduces the amount of irrigation water necessary to grow rice as well as recllrees the amount of head which woul� be necessary to overflow the existing drainage systen : 3j: The entire project site, except for the area surrounding the existing homesite, is dogIgnated floodway its depicted by the insurance rate rn ion map should be retarded showing the One "A„ as a zone "A" floodwa .

In addition floodplain elevations must be established by a Ileensed engineer prior to the recordation of the proposed tentative subdivision: map. 5a,b: The project site is home of the greater sand 'hill crane, giant garter :make, geese ducks, deer, egrets and eagles. Anticipated production of rice on the project site should not stilt in any negative impacts to these wildlife species: Rice land production increases wetland areas to the benefit of waterfowl and other wildlife.
