The property is approximately 385 acre3 .in size and covers all or portions of the NNS NEI 'and a`r., :o lection 31, T, 22 N,; , R 4 E, , Cherokee �u;ad: , 7.5' series The property .is characterized by a large open meadow along the east side of Kunkle Creek in the western portion of the property and by gently rolling hills and scattered springs in the eastern portrtion of the property. A ,deep -tram. eXtends around the on Po er of the property which leads to Kunkle Reservoir. Vegetation of the property consists of scattered oaks, pine'; wild flowers and annual grasses in the meadow area, 'With -a much denser covering of oak, pine,' r;anzanita, brick brush, bay and toyon in the eastern portion of the property. Prior to the reconnaissance of the property 1 consulted the archaeological site record files maintained at California $tate University, Chico to determine, if any known archaeological. sites were located within the property boundaries. Three archaeological sites had been previously recorded on the property, CA-BUT-67c; 673 and dVP. All three of these sites were recorded as bedrock mortar siteso..of the type used by the aboriginal iniiabita:nts of the area for proce8sing food res'ouroos. The reconnaissance of the ptloperty was complete pinto the presence of previously recorded archaeblogioal sites indicated that this area was of high archaeological sensitivity.The methodology used involved zizagin, linear transects with g � ,3 twenty meter Interval spacing to cover the entire property except for some of the areas in the eastern portion of the property where the dense vegd Cation prevented this technique. i .SOCJETY FOR CALIFORNIA ARCHAEOILOCy Distriet 2"`Clearinghow4e May 26, 1979 Page 2 Tn addition to the three previously recorded archaeological sites, seven archaeological sites .and one historic site were recorded during the reconnaissance. The archaeological siteu CA -'BUT -675 through 681, are all bedrock mortar si"tee Similar, to the three previously recordod. These sites are all located within the meadow area or in the area adjacent to "t;hi~ meadow, except for CA -BUT -679, which -3 located in a clea'rkhg ad=jacent to the canyon rim above. the Wect Dranch Feather River. No additional cultural material was found in association with any of these sites. The histor o site, CA -BUT -682, ,is a section of a rock wall that crosses the meadow between Xunl�le Creek and the timber line in the. eastt The wall is composo' entirely of rock without fence posts for Lo].ding barbed wire. �tjo wall,, is approximately 326 meters in 'Length and ran,,es from 1• meters to 0.5 meters in height. Rock walls of this "type were constructed mainly during; the period from 1,860 to 1900 and are normally associated with ra.:�ching, activity. All of the cultural resources l,a ated during the reconnaissance were photographed, mapped and mz.asured in the field, this data is on file at the District 2 C lLntinghouse; The proposed project will involve dividing a -:L of the property, except the meadowarea, into smaller parcels Por residentialpurpos'es.' CA BUT 674,- (°75 and. 679 are the orJy sites that lie within areas of proposed development. The data gathered during the r0connaissa-h6e Sould be suf'fic1ei nt to mitigate any scientific data contained within these situ,,. The only potontial impacts the project will have on the other cultural resources will come f re4m construction activlti eo during development of the property- To mltipate this po-Ix tti.al impart it is recommended that these sites be clearly maziked so that these areas can be avoided during the constructic,r t,,ctivitieu in the area: This'. shouldd allow the sites to be A2e;c:r1Ved since the Meador area itself is unsML. able for fut%ire ,leveloipment.

Aporid pe Yb Or III; DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION Softtmary The main impact of this proposal is the urbanization on an existing undeveloped area. Urban problems such as sewage disposal, traffic congestion, noise, road maintenance and air pollution will become established in the istudy area. Growth -inducement Will occur due to extension of utilities and roadways and the provision of public services in the area: Similar projects will likely occur on adjacent properties with the ability to develop to this density. Much of the land along the ridgeland area north and south of the site cannot be developed to this dons ty due to the natylral limiting Taetars of these lands,.These ,actors include, excessive slope, high erosion potential, shallow soils and a. limited groundwater supply. There are no public service or utility districts in this area of sufficient capacity to provide adequate service to a development of this size The effect of this proposal' would be to significantly alter the existing environment. and character of this low elevation ridgelandt Impacts includet. lb A significant amount of displacement, compaction, disruptions and overcovexing of the soil Will result upon cohstructien of the sub di.visi.on� - 1c: Significant topographical changes will be limited by the moderately level cha.rat, er of the area. Signifit ant topographical changes can be avoided by confining homesites along the Feather River ,Canyon (lots � Development of minimum. 3q -4G } to the western portions of those lots standard access roads should conform to existing topography so that extollslve grading is not required.

Appropriate agencies have commented and those comments and responses addressed to them are incorporatod Final Environmental Impact Report. in this. The Proposed Project is the subdividing pproximate 392 acro: in Butte County, California. Of aly The project site is about four miles South Of the community of Padise, The subdivision would resultranging in Siz result in the formation Ofra170 lots 0 from approximately 1 acre to 7 acres. It is anticipated that one single-family dwelling will be erected on each lot. Using t1le Population density for the Paradise area Of 2.3 Persons Per household as indicated in the Butte County Oeneral Plant 170 single-family residences represents a Potential subdivision Population Of approxi- mately 390 persons.

There exists no potentially adverse onvironmettal impact of the proposed project which cannot be mitigated: it would be appropriate that mitigation measures which may be applied to the project be imposed in two phases-. Mitigation to be required prior to project obastructioni Mitigation to be applied as continuing practices. Mitigation which should be required prior to project construction includes the following! The final road plan should be designed to minimize cut -and -fill quantlitos required, M ' M A final drainage plan should be designed to provide drainage capacity in accordancewith Butte County standards An erosion control plan should be designed to minimize erosion and subsequent deposition in. Kunkle Creek a6d Kunkle Reservoir as a result of the project. The proponent should plan, in conjunction with, Lime saddle Irrigation District, for development of additional domestic water supple to supplement that which is now available. An on-site geologic survey and evaluation of the seismic activity potential of the site. sh, !,,ld be determined. Attempts should be made to develop adequate emergency egress from the site to assure fire safety: Mitigation which should be regarded as ori-going .for the life of the project inc;ludest Construotion should be restricted to late spring, summer, and fall when, erosion potential is low and soils can be stabilized prior to winter rains. Removal of mature stands of vegetation should be controlled. Por instance, removal of trees other than those roemoved for approved constructicn activities might be limited to those with a base diameter of less; than 8 inches. 111-4 a d Fire breaks or other prevent:t.on measures should be established in conjunction with the. California Division of Forestry. Homesites should be selected to retain -the maximum natural topography of each lot, therefore minimizing cutwand-f 11 ` � quantities required.

Ix�C"5 ,7 Additionally, conformation to certain measures may be : required of the developers by various public agencies. These measures (and the appropriate agencies) include, but are not necessarily limited to: Frontage improvements to the Pentz-14agalia Highway (Butte County Land Development Department). Installation of fire hydrants in accordance with specifications, outlined in Chapter I! (California Department of Forestry). Waste discharge requirements for on-site disposal systems (Central.

After review of the Draft EIR and, the map, the Butte County Environmental. Review Department Prepared an Environmental Checklist Form A' P P r1 (Appendix D p indicating� raft EIR) potential impacts (,f the proposed graft E In this section, each of the potential �;mpacts identified by the Department will be addressed usir,q the format of the checklist. In most eases, detailed discussion is already contained a,n the Dxaft EIR. (l) Under the general heading, Earth,the 1�epartrnent identified 'the folliawin�S potential environmentalmpacas ; Disru ,tions r di splacemencs, cOmp[►cction, or o' er-00vering of they soil.

The subdiv dine, improvements, and slubsequent construction of homes on any propefty necessitate,: the movement and probable loss of some "native soil. The movement. of heavy i,�achinery over earth causes some compaction, and alteration due to dust geheration. Further, native vegetation will be disturbed and an increase in erosion and an alteration of the runoff pattern will probably occur:. The proximity of the project to Xunkle Creek and Iwnkle Reservoir and the Feather. River will Increase the probability of sedimentation ocourrialg in theso watercourses. The following are proposed e tviro nmental protection measures: The final, road plan: should be designed to minimize cut -and -E 11 quantities required. A final drainage plan should be designed to provide drainage capacity, both ori- and off --site, in accordance with nutte County standardsi in addition, individual builders should be .required to adhere to the following qualifications: COnstruotion be restricted to late spring and summer when. erosion ,potential is low and conditions for revegetation are optimal. Limiting romnval, of mature stands of trees and vegetation including prohibiting removal of trees n.)t necessitated .for approved construction (see comment's to braft EIR by California Department of Fish and Caine following in this chapter). Homes should be carefully located on each parcel to maximize the retention of the natural topography and therefore minimize cut -and -fill quantities required. The proposed project is identified by the Butte Count En,o­lronmental Review D6partment as being located in an area of Potential seismic activity. Therefore, it would be appropriate that an on-site survey.for potential hazards due to seismic activity be conducted, (2) Under the general heading Airj the Department has identified -the following Pot.%ntial environmental impacts., substantial deterioration of ambient or local air quality, Significant alteration of, air movemontr moisture Or tenftr.)erature, �or any change in climate, either 10callY or regionally, An empirical examination indicates that the major --Ohtti- bution to deterioration of air- quality in the area of the proposed project is traffic on P*antz-Magalia Highway, There ate no sigliificant anthropoqen,ic sources of air pollution in the area. There will be, a colitributicin -o air quality de5radation locally due to increased traffic. No beyond adheren-ce to California Air Resources� Control Board emis;3slon standards for atvkomobiles is recommended. 0) Under the general heading t Water, the Departrtlent has identified the following potential environmental impacts,. Changesift absorption tate8t araibage patternsi or the rate and amoiant: of ;surface watair runof f. • Discharge into,sur£acs waters, or in any alteration of surface,watex quality, including but not limited to, temperature, dissolvad oxygen, or turbidity. • Change in the §uantity or quality of groundwaters, either through direct additions or Withdrawals or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations. r Surface Water: The use of Large areas of impe4vious, materials for homesite construction and roadways may result in an increase in runoff in Kunkle Creek. Man's activities such as the use of chemicals and fertilizers will further alter the characteristics of the runoff. The on-site drainage plan discussed in the previous section should be adequate to accommodate this additional runoff and therefore minimize the effects on xunkle Creek. To some extent, the amount of runoff permitted may also be minimized by retaining natural vegetation and reiregetating the disturbed areas as soon as possible. Further, individual builders should locate their homesite carefully to minimize soil disruption and help minimize runoff" and therefore the adverse effects on surface waters. Groundwater: affects on the quality or quantity of groundwater in the area through direct withdrawals or additions is of concern. Studies conducted in accordance with guidelines established in Butte County Ordinance 601. and by the Oapartment of :Environmental health indicate that the soils of the area will satisfactorily treat and dispose of wastewater. The groundwater resource in the area is subject, to question. The proponent; has indicated his willingness to coordinate with the Lime Saddle Irrigation District to :supplement the domestic water supply now available to serve the district's needs. A detailed analysis of the effects of withdrawal on w3- qroundwater can be made only after such a study is complete: it is appropriate that the develop- ment of parcels which can be adequately served by existing water supplies not be delayed. (Further related discussion of water quality follows in Responses to Comments tO�Oraft FIR by the Butte County Environmental Health Departmer*,E.) (4) and Under the general headings, Plant Life and Azimal Life, (5) the Department has id6ntified the following Potential environmental impacts,. Loss of vegetation Or change in tjt,,_- Y Of species Or number Of any species O',r' plans.z, (including trees, shrubs, grass, crops, microflora, and aquatic plants), Reduction in the numbers of any uniqv�'ei rare, or endangered species of plants. Chango in the diversity of species, or numbers of any species Of animals (birds, land animals including reptiles, fish and shellfish, bwithic organisms, insects, Or microfauna). Reduction of the numbers of any Unique$ rate, or endangered sPeOiO8 Of animals, Reduction of encroachment on or deterioration of, existing fish or wildlife habitat. Any development of the scope of the pre -posed pro"Iect. is expected to exert an effect on the Wildlife 69 the area. It - is anticipated that the construction activity itself and the subsequent activities of man would result in the relocation Of wildlifepresently Utiliting the area. III -11 M This may 'present only .a minor disturbance due to relatively accessible similat habitats. However, any relocation will result in increased competition among species in the receiving habitats and therefore may result in the reduction of_:numbers of some species. In addition, The construction activity will. result in the destruction of some vegetation. Domestic animals introduced to the,ar ea, as a result of this project may adversely affect wildlife populations, but there exists no practical, readily imposable mitigation for such .an impact. The lot sizes proposed for the project: will tend to discourage continued use of the area as 'habitat .or local deer population.. In addition, the proposed project is Located on the periphery of the migratory deer range and as such may impact these animals adversely. (6) tinder the general heading, Noise, the Department has identified the following potential environmental, impacts: . Increases in noise levels. teposure of people to severe noise 4 y"A s . The construction ac ,.vities and traffic in the project and on Pentz-Magalia HiglL�%v will, generate noise. However, with minimum lot sizes of one a re, it is expocrted that builders will be able to locate homesites to minimize the effect of vehicular noise Also, builders will. ;be able to utilize rat,.,xal terrain and vegetation to ac w;., sound barriers. These sound barriers will also help prevent noise generated in the project site from impacting adjacent: areas such as Quail Tra.il,§ (7) Under the general heading, light and Clare, the Department has identified the following potential,: environmental. impacts;;.' IIIA -1: 0 Potential to produce tign.16 ica.nf. light or glare. The proposed project would produce increased levels of light and 4lare;. However, due to the size of lots and characteristics of the terrain, the effect upon adjacent areas may 'ie slight. (8) Under the general heading, Land Use, the Department has identified the following potential environmental impacts; Alteration of the planned land use of an area, or establish a trend which will demonstrably Lead to such alteration. Conflict with uses on adjoining properties or conflict with established recreational, edu=tionalj religllou:�, or scientific uses of an area. The subdivision of the project site would result in a change of current land use. However, a dwelling density of ono acre or more per unit for the area -'a consistent with the Butte County General Plan. The Pentz-Magalia Highway is designated a Scenic Highway. It is expected that Lie parcel sizes are sufficient to pormit construction of homes on those lots adjacent the highway without de'arading the aesthetic qualities of the Pentz-Magal-J:a.

(13) Under the general headinqj Tr4xlsport�kti= and,circulationt the Department has identified the following potential environmental impactso. Generation of substantial additional vehicular movement. • Substantial, impact upbn existing transportation systems. • Increase in traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicyclists, or pedestrians. The development of the project will result in an approx'i- mate doubling of current traffic loads on the Pentz- Magal.ia Highway. Improvements to the highway as possible mitigation is discussed .ire Section IT and in the ft -"Lowing paragraphs. The increased load and the t !pes of .., fic traveling this highway should be considered when improve- ments are designed and approved. Some traffic hazards will be encountered by the construction: of one new access to the Pentz-Magalia Highway and the increased volume of traffic through the Quail '.Grails development. Discussions with the Butte County Department of Land Development indicate that projuct approval will be contingent upon the developer bonding improvements to the section of Pentz-Magalia Highway adjacent the project up to County road standards. It may be appropriate to require bonding for similar improvements to the un -named Quail Trails road although these improvements may not be as detailed as these made to the highway, It is recommended that the egress from the development be improved in conjunction with the California Department of Voreztr, and Auttn County sand Development Department to adoquatel.y handle emergency - situation traffic lead8, i The California nepartjtrcnt of Transportation recommends that measures simiLar to the kol'lowi.ng be adopted when projects of theytypl; proposed are adjacent to highways: I Minimize licrht and g1hre problems by eliminating frontage roads or shielding the highway, traific from them. Channelize and direct on-site traffic to minimize highway access points. a Locate access; points on flat, straight stretches of highway to maximize visibility. The proposed project in,p indicates that thy., aroject adheres to these thrc;e principles. No farther mitigation beyond adherence to safe driving and pedestrian rules is recommended: (14) (15) Under the general healali,ng of Public services, _]8nergy. , _(16) (18) Utilities, and Solid 47as,te, the Department has identified the following potentiw.1 :nvironmental impacts: An effect upt , or result in, a substantial need for new or altered governmental, services.

COMMENTS BY BUTTE COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT Section . 5yegetatibn and Wildlife information—no response beyond mitigation measures previously mentioned in the summary is required. Section 2.7.4 Fire protection !hformatJ,'-on--to response beyond mitigation meas__ds previously mentioned in the summar1l is required i Section 3.1.4 EnvLconmental Impact Analysis Discussions with Butte County Battalion Chief John Hawkins subsequent to completion of th�rt Draft ETR indicate that response time to a structural fire or medical emergency in the proposed project would be approximately 7 to 9 minutes. Chief Hawkins indicated that, in situ-1i6ns ofmedical Emergency when resuscitation is necessary, response time is regarded as inadequate. It was further indicated that while the expected 10 responses per year to a development the size of the proposed project would not represent an unacceptable demand upnr services, the cumulative impacts of each previcu,-tly approved demand on fire services in conjunction with the new development must be examined. The creation of a volunteer fare company to provide manpower to augment the California Division of Forestry in the event of a wild fire is a possible partial. mitigation measure. Section 3.2 Water Supply Alternatives j,nformation--no response beyond mitigation measures previously mentioned in the summary is required. Section; 3.7 Traffic The butte County Fire Department 'hag expressed concern that, in event of an emergency, egress from, the development may not be suffici�)nt to serve the proposed project and Quail Trails. Thcxxe currently are planned two routo:s of egress from the project. If a sicnifa.oant natural disaster, such as,a fire, should impinje upon the proposed project, cutting off the accsas to the 'Pent:-Magalia Highway and evacuatign w ---,,e necesaary, th:e existing egress through Quail Trails may not. adequately handle the necessary traffic. Because of the present relativoly sparse population in the area, this may not be regarded as a significant impact at this time. However, it would be appropriate that the developer be required by the Butte County Land Development Departmentlin conjunction with the California Division of Forestry to provide improved egress. This improved egress may be in the form of unimproved emergency roads.which could be cleared at several locations. The Division of Forestry would be in the position to determine the propriety and best locations of such roads. Another potential mitigation would be to require that the present: Quail Trails road be improved to provide adequate capacity. The practicality of these alternatives would best be determined by the Butte County Land Development Department.

This is probably a reflection of the growth of the Ozoville-Paradise area as a residential and recreational center. The aquatic sports facilities available in the Xunkle Reservoir and I the Lime Saddle Marina and those of the Peather River -Lake Oxoville area will no doubt continue to contribute to the traffic of the area, The Proposed subaivision Would contribute 1,360, ADT (using an estimated 8 vehicular trips Per household per day).

(4) Schools Information which became available after completion of the Draft EIR indicates that all schools in tY-e district are at near -capacity in all grade levels and there are some o,"ades beyond capacity. Discussions with represen- tatives of the Paradise School District indicate that both elementary schools are in double session for Grades 2 and 30 and Paradise High School will experience staggered. sessions soon. In addition, Grade 1 will go to double session next year. Student -to -teacher ratio is mandated by union contract and, is maintai%ied readily due to the number of Well qualified teachers available. However, constraints of time and space will determine the feasibility of expansion of some facilities. Discussions with school district officials indicate that no new facilities or services including transportation will be required to serve this particular project. However, the potential cumulative impact of this project with others upon school services should be examined by appropriate agencies: (7) Wildlife See responses to comments by the State Department of Fish and Game and preced;ng responses to comments by Bob taLbuthi tinder the heading Water Quality. Discussions with the developer indicate that the parceling of the acreage Iwas carried out based on studies conducted' to determine the feasibility of on-site wastewater treat- ment and disposal systems and an investigation of the land use and zoning requirements of the Butte County General Plan. ':Lot sizes of one acre minimum are not con- sidered small and are consistent with the General Plan. Over one-third of the lots are Larger than two acres and almost 37 acres of potentially environmentally sensitive land have been set aside as open space. While larger lot sizes were considered, the developer indicated that as a result of appropriate studies the current plan evolved as the most feasible project. COMMENTS BY BUTTE COUNTY ENVIRONMR.NTAL HEALTH Soils Discussions with Lynn Vanhartk Butte County Environmental; Health Department, subsequent to the completion of the Draft EIR and the comments of the Central Valley Regional Grater Quality Control Board to the Draft EIR indicate a concern, that thote may be limitations on the ability of the soils of the proposed site to accommodate individual wastewater disposal systems. It is concluded, based upon percolation gest data and soil surveys conducted in accordance with Butte 'county ordinance 601 and County Health Department guidelines, that the hydrogedlogic characteristics in the area of the proposed project will provide adequate treatment capability and disposal capacity to 'permit use of individual systems ---provided such systems are properly designed recognizing the specific site characteristics (refer to Section 3.4, Page 37 of the Draft MA and the discussion in thesubsequent paragraphs). r -r 1r I Wastewater Treatment Comprehensive studies based on sound engineering practices and the recommendations of the Butte County Environmental Health Departmdnt and 'butte County Ordinance 601 were conducted to evaluate the feasibility of on-site wastewater disposal systems for the project.

It is anticipated that the consttuct ori activity itself and the subsequent possible build -out would result in the relocation of wildlife presently utilizing the area. This in itself may present only a minor disturbance due to the relatively accessible similar habitats. However, any relocation will result in increased competition among species in the receiving habitats and therefore may result in the reduction of numbers of some species. In additiol,, the construction activity will result in the destvaction of some vegetation-. Domestic animals introduced to the area as a result of this project may affect wildlife populations but there exists no practical, readily imposed mitigation for such an -impact. The lot sizes proposed for the project will tend to discourage continued use of the area as habitat for any local deer population that may exist in the vicinity of the project site, In addition,, the proposed project is located on the periphery of the migratory deer range and may impact these animals. The California,Department of Fish and Came in comments to the Draft BIR recommend that an open space be established in the area of botanical sensitivity identified in Appendix c of the Draft SIR. The relatively large lot sizes proposed for the project indicates that disturbance g �g :and the of the native vegetation need oat be s�. nfican t open space may not be necessary ;IIx -26 �r it is appropriate to :adopt the following mitigation measures pertaining ',-.o,wildlife: loo-foot " no-Ouilding"or development setback along Kunkle Ckeek. r , Minimal ,r. iova`i. of native plant species during development.
