LT: Ikt ENGINEERING SURVEYING PLANNING Butte County Planning Dept. 7 County Center Drive Oroville, CA 95965 Dear Mrs. Tuttle; PfanntngCft%220 GRAND AVENUE 12 1983 OROVILLE, Ca: 95965 Cal-foraq (916) 533-2068 Sept. 7,, 1983 Ref: Bloomer Mt, Investments T.P.M. AP 41-05-37 Log # 83-07-26-02 In addition to those comments and mitigating measures stated in 'my letter to your office dated. Aug. 30, 1983, 1 hereby slibmitt. the following comments concerning possible adverse impacts on the Bucks Mt. Deer herd and habitat of the Bald Eagl(. Comments by the Dept. of Fish and Game concerning residential encroachment into the eastern Butte County foot'iills have consistently reflected a concern for creation of parcels of 40 acres or less. In some specially sensitive areas, parcels of 80 arses or less cause concern. The smallest proposed parcel on this Tentative Parcel Map is 72 acres. Due to the steepness of the terrain, human use of this land is going to be limited to areas along the road which services the building sites. While there will be some impact, said impact will be minimal. After consulting the map on file in the Butte County Planning Dept., which shows the estimated range of the Bald Eagle around Lake Oroville,, I find that only one proposed parcelhas an area within the designated habitat area. This parcel is the most westerly ;parcel and is designated Parcel 4. This parcel contains +-72 acres. The westerly boundary of this parcel appears to run contiguous with said designated area boundary for part of the westerly line and does encroach slightly into the habitat at the northwest corner and at the southwest coiner. This encroa-.hment is about 400 feet. The area encroached upon is in extremely rough terrain and human activity in this area is not anticipated. The lands lying between the lake and the west boundary of this project are owned by the U.S. Government and the State of California. This in effect places a non -development corridor ranging in width from about 1800 feet to 3200 feet between this project and the proposed project, WIL,L)AM W. I;EDWS JOHN U.

AP 41-05-37 Log f 83-07-26-02 In response to your Letter dtd. August 15, 1983, 1 hereby suggest the following measures to mitigate any potential adverse impacts to the environment. Section Iv.,l.,g.: standard orrosi.on control measures during and atter construction will reduce or eliminate downstream .—rsedimeepjtation. Said control including but not limited to proper grading of all road -s, ditches and building pads, limiting construction to the dry season, rovegetation of disturbed suit areas, etc. Section Iv.,,l,,h.: onsite inspection of .this propertysnows that it is not of the type normally susceptible of mudslides, landslides, or ground failuvo. A maaor portion of the foothill area lies within a zoite crossed by earthoueke faults. Standard building permit requirements limit~ the human exposure risk with relation to falling structures: No mitigatincl measure Ls suag;asted for this item. Section IV.,5,a:1b.,c.i The proposed parcels are very large. Steep terrain will limit human activity to a very small portion of each of the four proposed parrela. Vhile there will certainly be new species i.nt-oduced to the area, i.e:, dock, cats, and even roan, potential impact will be minimal. No mitigating measure, are recommended for these items. Section 1V ,9:,a:,ka,.: The depletion of natural resource or non-renewable natural resources will be minimal or non-existant. No consumption of onsite resources is anticipated othor than the hu�#a Ca. Planning ��rnm WILLIAM W. G50b1S ,JOHN 0, CHRiS`rOI=r-5KSON KENNr-TH C. LI=NHAR01 use of ground for roads and homesites. This ground is very poor and produces oak trees, brush and grasses.. No harvestable timber stand exists. No mitigating measures are recommended. Sectio IV -,13.,a.: Additional vehicle movement will be, created by this division. However, due to the distance .from local major shopping areas, I feel that this impact will be minimal. No mitigating measures are recommended. Section IV.,18i: Some of this property can be seen from Lake Oroville. However, the major poxtion that is seen from the lake is located on the steep sidehill areas and not on the flats on top of the ridges. It is anticipated that residential development will take advantage of these building sites as they are the only areas which will provide for septic disposal.. Some roof line exposure to the scenic view is anticipated, but at a distance of a half male or greater and at a steep angle, you would have to look hard to see them. Earth 'tone colors usually used in rural construction will also limit visibility of structures. No mitigating Yr.easures are recommended. Section IV. ,20.,a: There are no known archaeological sites on this property. Due to the low density of anticipated development and the type of dry, steep terrain not favored ,by native Indians, I feel that the possibility of disturbance of such a sitewould be very remote. I recommended a mitigating measure for this section to read "It, at the time of development, an archaeological significant site is discovered, a qualified archaeoligist shall be retained to do a survey. If, in his opinion, the site should be preserved, the owner shall grant an Archaeological Easement for the preservation of said site or have said site excavated and cataloged b a 10 r g y qualified archaeologist S;ncerely, John D Christ 'erson, L68., G.D.A., Engineering & Surveying cc, fable Mt.

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION AP 41-05-37 Environmental Settin This is a tentative parcel map to divide 320 acres into four parcels, 99, 75, 74 and 72 acres each, located 2000 feet Qwest of Encina Grande Road, approximately 4000 feet south of Bloomer Hill Road in the Berry Creek area, T24N, R4E, Section 25. The proposed density of the development is one dwelling unit p.er parcel.. The nearest public road is Encina Grande. The method of sewage disposal is septic. The method of water supply is wells. Power lines will, have to be extended approximately I mile to parcels. The potential for further land divisions and development is great.

Septir: tanks and leach lines will have to be installed on each parcel.. Storm wator drainage will be provided for on-site through the Bloomer Ravine and the natural drainage tray on parcel 4. 18: The proposod project will be very visible .from Lake Oroville recreation areas, particularly for persons in boats in the north- northeast portion of the lake; Tile most important impact as.oclated with this development are the exposure of people and property to geologic hazal°ds including ea.rth-- nuakes, landslides and fire hazard and the significant negative impact on BaldEagles and Buci:s Mountain Dcar Mgbitat areas. The Bald Eagle bibit•at is primarily on. parcels 3 and 4. If the parcel map were redesigned to concentrate proposed development towards the vicilrity of Bloomer Mountain Road, tele impacts would be sub- stantially reduced on the wildllif.c.
