We have been investigating all complaints and will continue to do so, however it appears at this time the California Regional Water Quality Control Board has the most authority over the grading activities on th'_s property to date. It has been determined that the excavation and embankment volumes were each less than one -thousand cubic yards and therefore the grading was determined to be exempt from the Butte County Code requirements for obtaining a grading permit. A review of the building department records indicates she has not recently applied for a building permit. Issuance of a building permit for a new single-family residence on any of these properties would trigger the requirements of Public Resources Code (PRC) 4290, which may require improvement to the access road/driveway. The Butte County Fire Department would make a determination after the application was made and prior to issuance of a building permit. Enclosed for your reference is a copy of their handout for general requirements. The fire safe regulations of PRC 4290 do not apply until there is a structure requiring protection by the Fire *Department. The issuance of building permits is a ministerial act, exempt from environmental review under CEQA and therefore not required to comply with the public notification requirements of Public Resources Code 21092. If a discretionary permit is applied for the County will comply with the appropriate notification procedures, by copy of this letter I am also asking them to keep you in mind. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact this office at (530) 538-7266, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Sincerely Stuart Edell, P. E.

I am formally requesting that I be notified by your office when and if a building or grading permit is applied for by Amanda Pyle for her properties (#058-190-204, #058-190-202, #058-190-103000, #058- 190-071000, and #058-190-082000) in the Feather River Canyon area. I also am bringing to your attention an extremely dangerous situation whereby Ms. Pyle has designated the road she has recently cut into the Feather River Canyon to be a Fire Road. Fire and emergency access roads as well as private roads and driveways have specific state requirements to ensure safety. Ms. Pyle's road completely fails these.tests and if used as an emergency access road, let alone as a driveway, it could have tragic consequences.State code requires that a road or driveway not exceed a grade or 16%, have turn -outs every 400 feet if the road exceeds 800 feet, includes additional surface width for curve allowances and be engineered to accommodate a fire truck or other emergency vehicle weighing up to 40,000 pounds. The road in question at some points is measured at an extremely dangerous grade of 27% and averages 20% of incline. ,Additionally, there is no visible engineering to re -enforce the structure of this road, nor are there any turnouts. In addition, the dirt road is subject to erosion, which could completely undermine it. I would further draw to your attention the erosion's effects upon.1he adjacent growth, which will likely place a large number of trees in jeopardy. The effect upon the riparian integrity of the Canyon will be enormous. Because this safety matter has not been addressed in response to earlier correspondence to your office by Mrs. Cynthia Arrington, I feel it necessary to bring this matter to the attention of Ms. Jody Loner an, District Director, CA Dept. of Transportation.
