PFRi1FAB 1 L 1 TY ANILL YS;15 Percolation tests are used to determine the rate at which water will pass through a given soil, percolation rate`s are expressed as a rate of vertical water hovel drop in a test hole of specific geometry, although research and recent tests indicate a majority of water movement is horizontal rather than vertical. Since the ;sta,ndard percolation test is based on several important assurnptiohs, procedures for perforInino percolation tests'a're very specific. All percolation tests ppprfoflood for this study conform to accepted Butte County Department of Fnvi;ronMental Health procedures, presented inAppendix Table B=2, The percolation test holes were located ih sud',h a manner to: assure that a representation of th''i percolation capabilities of the entire project site was obtained. Further, 46 of the 4i8 percolation tests were performed in or adjacent- to soil exploration trenches 'to cbrrelate the results of the percolation tests with the fails'investigation At least three percolation tests were performed in each soil profile typo, with a total of forty-eight separate percolation - tests completed, A11 tests but two meet the criteria of 1 inch of water level drop in 1Z0 mihute�_ar less: Table 8-3 present A sumrnar of the y percolation test results, The percolatioh test hole locations correspuhd to soil exploratioh site lacLtions shbOn on Figure Bl 1l Ngure B-4 shotes anticipated canta,urs Of percolation rates basedon the per-colation test`s and soils profiles types Resents of the PtrcolbtibA rate studies indicate that acceptable Teach fieldout It b bdditio ot of hotemeetltj'i dC�e Wa ie re�ui rol;reht of 1 i nch of Water drop in 1.20 Ol nutes or less: 67, .w f;i311; MIT (,OU14TY 01T0,1111-100 or PUBLIC I EALTH niVIS] oN OP 0gVlL'C.NVILNrAL HEALTH 1, 01,TIC,14 T C,zx i*n"►cfi1►_►Ra s 1 r, hlwtIber •of holes Recquirea 1 � A ibdIv e + � �i . 1 ..4]Q►L � • 3_ I Gr=oss Axe,%Proposed Lot; S I tes oi" SUbdivisian 1 ."itre or less Over 1 acre 1 bale ptr acre 1 hole for' each 10 Atcres or, but .00t Jess thHn' S boles 2 e:crin or less ' IHe.alth Depprtment rr,Ay 1 hole ;per parcel require Additiom! tr:sts whichever is ,less , 10 holes pliys �i-ddlticSn 1, Hee].th Dap a:tMeh: (her lb Acres test's asf required by- may redw.re Haklth DeppAteht ar:;3, tiohal 'tests �s neuci ;. r--c by H Lh r4, tt,t-nt it • lAtatiod Of Ti�st :rbles _.. ` y.�nr a. ."i+-y� rr' !• G'.l a. 1LS...a y _^ .L a: l� �1 ire ki �.a S`-,.. .aW1' �. —V.a .tea• L....'_C'n"J �., L..� �i L'. � 4Fw �..w ci cr� V C.a s..5. 1C71�..°1 �r"r �'e C' ` 15.L.ei be PSy bvai- lw.r7t r�.r::e au X1'1 ° *2 ch tL a iliac-171 et 5=`t te s _1Z.

The property is located to the of Mentz. Magalia alghway, on a ridge top to the west of the''W68t Brandh Feather River, north and. east of Kunkle Reservoir, southeast of Paradise. The property is approximately 385 acres in size and covers all or portions ofthe N4U ,N81 and 88; of Section 31, Ti 22 N., R. 4 S., Cherokee quad., 7.5' series. thd The property is characterized by a large open meadow along', perty ' east side of Kunkle Creek in the western portion of the pro pe and by gently rolling hills and scattered springs in the eastern Portion of the property. A jeep trail extends around the perimeter of the property which leads to Kunkle 12eservoira Vegetation of the property consists, of scattered oaks, pine, wild flowers and annual grasses in the _meadow area, v,th a much dens;rl covering of oak, pine, manzanita; buck brush, bay and toyun in the pastern portion of the property, Prior to the reconnaissance of the property 1 consull`ed the archaeological site record files maintained at California State 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-670, 673 and 04, All three of. these sites. We recorded as bedrock mortar sites, of the type Used by the abor;igih,'l inhabitantu of the area for processing food resources► 'Phereoonnaissance of the property was complete sincethe presence of previously recorded archaeological sites :indicated that this area Was of high arohaeological serisitit►i'uy� The methodology used involved zigzaging linear'"transects with a twenty motor interVal I spacing to coVer ;she entird prb'pe'rty' e�tcept,for some of the area; in the eastern portion of the property where the dense Vegetation ;prevented this technique.

May 26, 1979 Page 2 In addition to the three: previously reoorded archaeological sites, seven archaeological "sites and one historic site were recorded during the reconnaissance. The archaeological sites;, CA-BUT675 through 681, are all bedrock -mortar sites similar to the three previously recorded. These sites are all located within the, yneadow area or in the area adjacent to the r,eadow, except for CA-HUT-6?9, which is located in a clearing adjacent to the canyon rim above the Wet Branch Feather River. No additional cultural material was found in association with any of these sites. The historic site, CA -BUT -682, is a section of a rock wall that crosses the meadow between Kunkle Ore,ek and the timberline in the east: The wall is composed_ entirely of rock without fence posts for holding barbed wire. The wall is approximately 326 meters in length and ranges from 1.5 meters to 0:5 metersin height; Rock walls of this type were constructed mainly during the period from 1860 to 1900 and are normally associated with ranching; activity. were photographed, mapped 'and measured inte f1e reconnaissance data - All of the cultural resources located during the is on file "at the District 2 Ciearinghouse. The d' tttd data proposed projeot will involve dividing all of the property, except the meadow arca, into smaller parcels for residential purposes. CA -BUT -6740 675 and 679,are the onlysites that lie within areas of proposed dove-lopment: The data gathered during the reconnaissance sould be sufficiPtit to mitigate any scientific data contained wi'4hin these The only .potential 'Impac'ts'. the project will. have on thoi cher cultural resources Will come from construction activities durin4:development of the property. To "mitigate this potential impact, a.t is recommended that thdse sites be clearly marked so that these areas can be avoideU during the construction activities in the area; This should allow the site's to be preserved since the meadowax•ea itself is unsuitable for future developtnertt► �Sincerely)your's,' t j� arise s P.

DY5CU5SION OF ENVIRONMtNTAL EVALUATION 5umm7ry: The main impact of this proposal is the urbanization on at existing undeveloped area. Urban problems such as sewage disposal., traffic congestion, noise, road maintenance and air pollution will become established in the study area. GroWth-inducement will ocouv 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 +*idgeland area: north and south of the site cahnt be .developed to ''his density due to the natural limiting factors of these lands� Thesr -;Factors include, excessive slope, high erosion potential, shallow soil and a limited groundwater su;�ply. There are no public, servioe or utility districtsin this �o m of sufficient capacity to provide adequate service to a de'vtrio�, ht oir this site.
