The propertyis located wihin an area designation as a winter ran-- e and critica winter range for the East Tehama Deer Mord. The site is also not located within a designated dewelopment Lone in which developmentmay occur provided certain mitigation measures are adopted and implemented by the Board. The minimum di�,Velopzi ent standards for a wtnteir range �s 20 acres in size and the 1critical winter range requires 40 acres -to not impair the mi sato g ry movement of deer herds. A itmall portion of the project is located albng Gohasse# Road which is an Identified transpo.rtatimi corridor which may allow homes to be located within 500 feet of the road and parcel sizes tray be less than 20 acres. However, since such it small Portion of the project is located along Cohasset Ro11 ad air vision to this map could not be expected to result in the same number of lots. in addition, he Department o£ Fish and Game u II ,� has a;ecor inended that this project be denied until the Board has an opportunity to adopt and impose mitilzation measures for development within a migration route. l4'a: The project sits, is located within a high hazard area as identified. by the California Department of p J Forestry. Currently fire protection is ." . a sidereci_ade adequate, however, future fire p try y p is cont q_ , service may be in jeopardy in terms of adequacy. In addition, all development within the Cohasset area is required to comply with minimum flew requirements as identified in the: attached Isheets. Therefore, appropriate hydrology studies shall be conducted to determine if these fire: flows can be met. Also automatic fire suppression sprinkler systems will be recommended, to be installed within all ,residential structures in accordance: with the National Fire Protection A-ssociation Standards outlined by Article 13d to aid in the control of residential fires and thus provide for improved protection against injuries, lime loss, property damage, and reduce the dema; ieA for County fire protection services, 14b.; Poliize, protection can be expected to be limited to emergency and life threatening responses only. All other responses can be expected to occurover longer periods of time. 16d The 'Environmental Health Department does have some. concerns with the soil excavations that were conducted. There are minimum development policlos for the whole Cohasset area regarding waste disposal. Therefore, appropriate studies need to be conducted to determine if the proposed septic systems will comply with these minimum waste disposal standards. doa Development of this "Ite may result in the des'tiviction of prehistoric or historical archaeological sites. The parcel site is located within, an 4irea designated as having high archaeological sOnl it vity. Therefore, an archaeolog czl recor& check shall be performed by the Northeast: infor nation Center, at California State University, Chico, to determine if.a survey is necessar3f.

John Mendonsa Department of Public Works 7 County Center Drive oroville, CA 95670 Dear Mr. 'Mendonsa; The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) has reviewed the Mel Monk Tentative Parcel Map (TPM), a proposal to divide 70+ acres into two 5 -were parcels, one 15 -acre parcel, and one 45 -acre _parcel: Located at Cohasset, Butte County, the TPM lies within designated winter range of the East Tehama deer herd. The southeast quarter of the TPM lies within critical deer winter range for this herd. Subdivision; of land into small, parcels has an adverse impact on migratory deer.- As Lands within designated winter range are divided into parcels smaller than 20 acres, deer use becomes impaired, migratory movement affected, and forage and space needs drop below the level necessary to sustain the herd. Subdivisions have adversely affected a large portion of the Bucks Mountain deer herd winter range in Butte County. In an effort to : i resolve the ,subdivision/deer conflict in Butte County,:the DFG has recommended a series of actions for the Board of Supervisors (Board) to'impl'emenb« The DFG ,also identified a "Designated Development Zone" (DDZ) where development may occur, provided certain mitigation measures are adopted and implemented by the Board. Also, "Identified. Transportation Corridors" (ITC) outside`. Of DDZs were designated whew land subdivisions may occur provided: (1) deer migration routes are not blocked, and (2� if i ca*gated parcels are bounded by, and homesites are located within 560 feet of the ITL; - The TPM lies outside of a DDZ, but is partially bounded by Cohasset.Road (an ITC) and does lie in a migration route, DFG recommends that the Z'Ptd b� revised. All parcels o :less than 20 t acres must be bounded by Cohasset Road and homesites should be located within 500 feet of the road. However, Until the Board has an opportunity to adopt and impose mitigation Ine3sures, the TQM should be denied. If we can be of further assistance, please contact Mr. Ron Bertram, Associate Wildlife Biologist, or Ms. Patricia Perkins,, Wildlife Management Superva,sor, telephone (916) 355-7010 Sincerely, D Mess 'smith es egional Manager a ; APPENDIX E. Development Policies for the Co�_'Iset Area 1. PURPOSE The purpose of the adoption of development policies, standards,, and implementation measures for the Cohasset Planning Area of Planning Area i #2 is as follows a. To stat the general guidelines for responsible development of the Cohasset Planning Area. ` b. To provide adequate development standards which address and mitigate eavizonmental concerns ps;Laliar to the foothill character of the Cohasset Planning Area c. To generally determine areas which are more suitable fo: development, And to identify areas of serious environmental concerns within the Cohasset Planning Area,., d. To prevent significant environmental degradation within the Cohasset L Planning Area, 2: ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES Tt shall be the policy of Butte County to; a Encourage clustered plans for development in the Cohass,r, ''anning Area: b. Determine appropriate development densities by taking; into consideration soil depth and slope, water Availability and, quality, natural hazards, existing plants and wildlife, accossibilityj and/or, other significant environmental concerns. de Encourage the preservation of open space and natural wildlife Atnd habitat to minimize land Lyse cojfliCts, d. Encourage CbMmuiity waste C611ectlon and disposal systems e. Protect; w4ter quality and health by ensuring the efficient operation of on-site waste disposal systems. f: Minimize erosion of native soils caused by development, loth during and following construction. g• Minimize surface runoff and flooding by ehsliring Adeq;tate drainage provisions: i i�g- I h. Discourage development where ou-site geologic conditions press-t a serious and immediatehazard to human life and, property. i. Ensure that all new development in the study area be adequately protected from loss or injury, by the peril of fire. 3 IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES' The environmental policies of the Cohasset Planning Area sha'l'l be implemented as followsi a Maps 1. Maps designating soil types, slopes, water supply and quality, vegetation, wildlife, and/or any 'other significant environmental concerns in the area ahall be prepared and adopted for the planning area. 2, Wh®a available from agencies such as the U.S. Geological Service, State Department of Fish and Game, U.S.. Soil, Conservation Service, and other entities, maps shall also be consulted as part of the pertinent data for determining development suitability. Soils and Waste`Dinposal - 1. A minimum soil depth of 5 feet to rock base shall be required where the method o£ disposal is a septic tank and leach fields. 2.

Monk, that the author undertake am archaeological survey of portions of the Monk property located in T. 24'N., R, 2 C., a portion of the NE 1/4 of Section 34, MAB&M'. Th;. parcel is situated in Butte County on the Cohasset Ridge at the intersection of Cohasset Road and Vilas Road (see attached m.zaps) . The project reference number is AP # 56-16-17/Monk. The request for archaeological inventory and evaluation was based` on a response from the California Archaeological Inventory Information Center at California State University, Chico to the Butte County Planning bepartment, at their request. The record sea., ch undertaken by the In-Eai'mation, Ctenter ( I .C. # L90-54) led to a; recommendation that an archaeological inventory be conducted due' to the probable high sensitivity of tha area because of the presence of prel=i%sto'ric and historic resources, in the general vicinity and the general environmental setting. No record :of a previous archaeo ogital survey for this parcel was evident f letter attathed.). BecaUse of the large site of the parcel and its devise vegetation cover, and since all potential development was limited to an area within 500 feet of the existing paved roads, survey was requested-> by Mr. Wrinkle to be limited to this area. With minor exception= that included areas beyond this 500 foot limit, this was accomplished. 1_ocal E'nvirohmeht This portion Of the Cohasset Ridge, a remnant of Pliocene valcan.ism and subsequent stream erosion, is located Within a transition zone between chaparral and yellow p,4.ne forests. The vegetation► on the parcel was generally thicktran4zahitao poison oak, and scrub oak chaparral. However, ,a small portion of the area had been cleared in the past for an apple orchard. There is also thick riparian vegetati-on along. Maple Branch, a perennial stream that passes through the parcel, and C)ere are a few open grassy areas where the volcanic caprock is near or at the. surface. A portion. of the parcel is covered by a house, butbuildings-, a, parking area and driveway. Some -clearing and old logging is evident near this building and by a historic site discussed below. Ethnooraph'�/ArchaeoIoaL This area is near the bouhdary between the Hokan speaking Yana Yahi, Ithi's group, and the Konkow, a Penutian speaking tribe, Both groups were tunterlgatherers practicing a Semi-#i►obile lifestyle oriented on food prodUtt5 sea5bMally available in lowland and highland settings. betails regarding the cultures b4 there Oroups is cohtaihOd within The Handbook of North American Indians, 3 Califo n a volume (8), published in 197E by the Smithsonian Institution, Robr�-rt F. Heizer, editor. Archaeologically ,peaking 'very little work has been accomplished in this area. Village excavations (unpublished) have been carried out by Chico Stato and Queens College in nearby Mud Greek Canyon, and a Master's Theis on local settlement/subsistence was completed by William Dreyer of the ;Anthropology Department of CSU -Chico. Otherwise, local surveys of limited extent have been the rule. There is probably some time depth in human use of this area, at least, 4000 years and perhaps longer. From what is known about sites in the region, major habitation focused on the principal; streams such as Rock Creek and Mud Creek in both open and rockshelter settings. Ridge -tops were the scet1e of hunting, and food gathering and processing activities. Water sources on ridge - tops would probably be the locale for temporary camps. It would appear that the Yana were the ancestral group in the region with the 1Gonkow a recent transgressor, Field Methodology, Maps were provided the author by Sierra West Surveying, both blue line .1.1"=200' and portions of the 7.5' quadrangle: Human features on tie landscape plus natural features allowed; accurate survey location. These features included the road, fencelines, house location, stream -placement, and topography. A compass was also - used for directional purposes. Local tenant James Kirk showed the author certain features and trails, and helped in locating cultural remains known to him. The survey was conducted on November 4, 1996 or f'or the better part of the day. The parcel was generally walked in pari; llel transects from 1.5 or 20' to 100' or more apairt, depending on thickness of brush (acr+ssibility). These transects paralleled the road and stream as shown on the atcompanyirig map. Where cultural remains were encountered, detailed ekaminatibns Were made of the, surrounding location for several hundredfeet or, so making sure boundaries of the site were loc'a.ted.. Notes were taken during the survey of vegetation, geomorphology and hydr'o'logy, cultural items discovered, and other facts regarding the survey, A fire rake w,is carried and used to periodically clear away the du+4 and leaf or grass coven depending on location (e.g. flat terrace) and ground visibility which perorally was between 16-14% and 'SO% or more, more toward the former than the latter pt}rcentage. in addition to the records, check Conducted by Chico State,, the author checked the GenerAl Land 04fice plats vailable at the, Bureau of Land tlanagement office in kodding. No oistoric locations were evident on the plat within the parcel during this latter 19th century'surveyt although historic~ roads, houses and mill 'sites are situated in 'the cl neral Vicinity. i�- n d ip _qs During the archaeological survey two sites 4ore discovered that warrant official recording and attention. Each is briefly discussed below and site records are attached, Monk Site #1 This site is a widely diSPOrsed scatter Of flaked and ground stone tool debris of intermediate aqo suqOettino a temporary camp devoted location of 61 resulting processing to generalised huntinq and gathering and The deposit has larqely been badly disturbed and appears to be surface or' near-surfacp. HOwever, there are certain areas of the site, especially to the north of the existing house, that appear less disturbed and may contain some depth. Monk Historic Site ff2) This is a somewhat enigmatic historic site dating from the turn of the century. It may be the pad for a cabin Or other building and associated dump, although it could be merely a duL favor the former interpretation dump location. r An Old Wagon road location comes to this cabin, and extensive more recent dumping ocaUrs adjoining the location. During the survey several isol6ted artifacts were noted including a section of rolled and riveted Penstock, a Deprestion-era or later Can dumPi some Car sprihg�5, a 5-gAllan rectangular tin with wire a, handled wide-mouth screw Id size), OW I Container (2 1/2 gallon and a large e' -iron ring Occurring on Off Of a Water tank. Also this Parcel are remnants Of an Old road and the existing and Still-u5ed house and Outbuildings which appear to be less than 50}Yearsin age. However, the apple orchard is much Older suggesting either this house is older than it Seems, Possibly considerably modified, or the Original ,structure is some place Site Significance 'ZMA 0--mendLt-ions The first site mehtioneo appears to have severe integrity problems, at least with the surface manifestation. Thest, discussed OM the site record. problems are One section of the site to, the north of- the house and Parking area (and fence), at Its north endt Still retains some integrity. This area should be development Uh'til avoided by it can be evaluated through a Series of small test Units (perhaps 5-10 Small rapid recovery units) as to its"true Complexity and ihtt4ejty_.

IV 5 The historic site also lacks integrity. There is no standing structure present,ump and the materials contained within the d appear to be common -place domestic trash dating from the early 14006. 1 would guess that this site represents the remains from ridge -top occupation related to lumbering ,on the ridge, a probable common form of site rbmains.i The old dirt road in the vicinity was probably for access to this location and timber resour-cos. There also appears to be no `"f;amous" or noted County personage associated, although more research regarding this point could be undertaken. If at all possible this site should be avoided during Oloy subsequent construction activities. rt should be noted that the archaeological survey did not cover the entire property but was limited primarily to the area within 500 feet. of Vilas and Cohasset roads (.see area of coverage on attached map) , As such, no constrLtction activities should be undertaken in the Wlsurveyed portions o' -F the property until properly surveyed and evaluated by a professional archaeologist. �. � �r I, t. , rl.. _ _ � a �,,� .,•,..... � ; � \ '. l ' �T ' 11 r a ) '' +r " ' J1 . r I YQrcl � �� •"�:, �. r t is r � r r� r, �� . r r , l f `i'{ � + ,', .�I ��� r � , chase t �>�� � , .. , �•. � � ...��.,,/ J � � I�� ` , , �"r�qy.`*'` ; r �1�; �" "1 j �S 1 4; r,i r ' Jk .;{ • >rr ,y� !,r f .+� ,,.�'' !I /r'�.+ ',��, � {r'..

This in turn, will lead to a minor reduction in absorption rates clue to the addition of inipervious surfaces such as houses. However; the overcovering with impervious surfacing and grading activities are expected to be minimal and (only to accommodate pad development and access to the site. Since the house sizes are expected to be fairly minor in comparison to the lot sizes and because of the soil on the site, the compaction, overcovering, and reduction in a'osorption rates are expected to be minimal and will not create any significant impact. le: Development of this site may result in an increase in wind and water erosion during construction phases of the site. HHowever, the applicant will be required to comply with the development policies for the Cohassot Area. Strict compliance with these policies will result in full, mitigation, of any potential impacts. 1h There are no tcnown faults existing on or within the immediate vicinity of this request, However, all of Butte County is within a Moderate Earthquake intensity Zone VIII. The project will be required to coinply with the ,ninimum seismic standards identified within the Uniform q � P Building Code and implemented at ue time of issuance of building permits. Therefore, 'this impact will be fully mitigated, 3fi Marble Branch, a tributrary of Rock Creek, runs through the center of the proposed project, This may result in the discharge of urban pollutants into this surface water. The project will be conditioned to comply with the Environmental Health Department's standards for setbacks adjacent to creeks. This uhoald fully mitigate a potential concern for added pollutants into the stream. 3h Devellopment of the site will result in a change in the: quantity of available ground water within the Cohasset area created: from the addition of threo new wells that would serve for domestic water purposes. Since the quantity of available ground 'water is unknown within the; immediate vicinity of this prgjectr this impact can not be determined to be substantial or not: at this point, 4a: Development of this site will result in the 'reduction in a number of 'trees and shrubs on the particular site. The appi:::ant will be required to comply with the development regulations regarding vegetation removal, which states that it will be limited to areascif construction only. Therefore, this impact will be fully, mitigated. Approval of this request would result in the deterioration of an existing wildlife habitat and may also introduce.4 barrier to the migration of the movement of animals. The property is located within an area designation as a winter range and critical winter range for the East Tehama. Deer Herd. The site is also not located within a designated development zone in which development may occur provided certain: mitigation measures are adopted and implemented the Board. The minimum development standards for a Winter range is 20 acres in site and the critical winter range requires 40' acres to not: impair the migratory movement of deer, herds. A small portion of the project is located along Cohasset Road Which is an identified transportation corridor which nay allow bones to be located within 500 feet of the road and parcel sixes may be less than 20 acres. `However, since such a small , p p' 1 g px s map4 otbe expec,wd tote silt in the sane number of to si In addit on, til Department of Fish and awbie �f I IQ 11 has recommended that this project 'be denied until the Board has an opportunity to adapt and impose mitigation measures for development within a migration route. 14a The project site its located within P high fire hazard area as identified by the California p r;onsidered adequate, however, future fire sUervice may be in jeopardy in terms of adequacy. s ',In addition, all development within the Cohasset area is required to comply, with minimum flow requirements as 'identified in the attached sheets. Therefore, appropriate hydrology studies shall be conducted to determine if these fire flows can be met. Also automatic fire suppression sprinkler systems will be recommended to be installed wi-th'in all residential structures in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association Standards outlined by Article 13d to aid in the control of residential fires and thus provide for improved protection against inj,trieLii; life loss; property damage, and reduce the demand for County fire protection services. 14bi, Police protection can be expected to be',limited to emergency and life threatening responses only other responses can be expected to 'occur over longer periods of time. 16th The Environmental Health Department does have some concerns with the soil excavations that were conducted: There are minimum development policies for the whole Cohasset area, regarding waste 'disposal. Therefore, appropriate studies need to be conducted to determine if the proposed septic systems will comply with these minimum waste disposal standards. 20a Development of this site may result in the destruction of pre -historic or historical archaeological sites. The parcel site is located within an area designated as having high archaeological sensitivity. Therefore, an archaeological records checkshall be performed by the Northeast Information Center, at California State University, Chico, to determine if a survey is necessary, Recommended :,Mitigation 'MeasuresLL t, No mitigation measures are recommended +at this point since there are several outstanding issues that. need to be addressed to fully determine if an environmental impact report or a Mitigated Negative Declarption would be the appropriate mechanism for processing this application.
