Appeal of EIR Requirement
Honorable Board Members:
The Lime Saddle Ridge Estates PA,—C' subdivision is a small
development adjacent town intensely developed recreational area.
Although the Initial Study Checklist prepared by staff has a
number of "maybe's" marked) there are no serious environmental
problems at 'this location which cannot be mitigated.
When t,te project proponents first contacted me regarding
their project, they indicated County planning staff had
preliminarily indicated an BIR would be required based on
informal discussions prior to submission of an application. Upon
review of the project, I responded that an EIR for a project this
small with no ident:ifi ed impacts which could not be mitigated
would be an unnecessary expense and a waste of County "staff
resources in reviewing and processing such a document.
Final judgment rests with this Board of Supervisors: We ask
that you consider staff scheduling priorities, since reviewing
and processing 114IR's consumes staff time. If there is excess
time available (and we doubt it), such time should be spent on
more pressing issuea, not minor projects that conform to the
General Plan such as thiai one: In this case, a mitigated
negative declaration is more than adequate to meet the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act:
In response to the staff's 'checklist, we would respectfully
ask that you reevaluate the severity of anticipated environmental
i.m,pacts and make the appropriate adjustments in the checklist
findings some issues warrant a "not' response, others can be

22c Cumulative effects Although this item is marked

the f0116t4ing which are "maybe"; le,, 10, 16d, 17a 17b. The
following mitigation measures should be required for erosion
control and sewage disposal:
Mitigation measures
1) Minimize road cuts and fills by conforming road
alignments to contour lines.
2) All grading to be done in accordance with Chapter 10 of
the Uniform 'guildi Code and pertinent recommendations of the
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Handbook (Mo Atimotoi May,
19181 Calif. Dept• of Conservation).
3) Prompt 'revegetati:on of construction 'sites and road
grading
Board of Supervisors
March 31, 1983

4) Maintain two feet depth in all ponds, and limit BOD
(Biochemical, Oxygen Demand) Loading rates to less than 0.8
pounds/day per 1000 square feet of lagoon surface,
5) Control surface-emergent and marginal bank-side
vegetation.
q p .
6) Maintain mosquito fish. in the ands or use pes tidides
as needed.
7) ponds to be sealed in accordance with requirements of
the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and Butte
County Health Department.
I 8) Surround the ponds with a six-foot high chain link
f' fence with a locked gate.
Landscape the outside of the banks which surround the
ponds, and the fences.
10) Maintain 100-foot separatjok between ponds and
dwelling units
With the above mitigation measures and the previous changes
to the environmental checklist, a mitigated negative declaration
can be used for -processing this project.

Re: Limesaddle Ridge Estates, APO 41-03-115, Butte Co. Rezone #83-45
Dear Earl
On 26 March, 1983 I conducted a rare plant survey of the subject parcel.
Thepurpose 'of the survey was to determine if there is any potentlt l for
e
p dangered plants on the pro jec't
adverse environmental im act to rare: and en
site.
At present two rare and endangered plaait species are known to occur on
habitat types that could be present on the parcel, these are Juncus
le os ermus (Red Bluff Rush) and Sid_alcea robusta (Butte Cbunty Checker
mallow). Extant populations of both species axe .known from within three
miles of the project site.
Upon purveying the t aetareas habitat types
atd
plant associates that are Sidalcea robustaelsewherewere
discovered. However, careful surveys of those,reas revealed no new y
populations of this rare 'species. It should be noted that although the
rare Sidalcea does not flower this early in the season its vegetative
growth has already begun and the basel heaves are plainly visible to the
trained observer: This, and the absence of livestock grazingi facilitated
this "early season' search.
The survey for Juncis leiospermus was conducted differently. This tiny
annual is not eearly is*hrestricts
its occurance to3Cvery,particularandeasilylocatedhabitat:
vernal pools
and "vernally moist seepages. Upon surveying the parcel no such habitat.,
was encountered. Therefore Juncus leiospermus is not considered a potential
inhabitant of the property.
Based upon the results of the rare plant survey 1 can find no potential for
adverse impact to rare and endangered plants on the project site] and
although the ori -site vegetation is relatively intact it is in no way unique'
enation in the environmental review process.
If�there are merits oanyeconsideration
questions please feel free to contact me.

No indications of Prehistoric materials or features were
observed during my inspection of the property area. Two
historic features were observed. These consisted of a
rock wall and a flume. The rock wall is located in the
eastern portion of the property and was probably constructed
along the western edge of the original route of Pentz-Magalia
Highway. These fences were constructed ,in the late 1800s
usually in areas where livestock was grazed. The flume
extends from an intermittent drainage located to the north
of the property area to the edge of the canyon rim in
the southeast portion of the property. The flume is
shallow, less than two feet deep, excavated in to the soil:
and rock lined in portions of its length. These types of
flumes are usually associated with mining and,a hydraulic
mining operation is located to the south of the southern
property boundary. No artifacts or other features are
associated with these two features. The locations of
these features was noted on an aerial photograph of the
property are.., and no additional mitigation measures are
recommended for these features.
it is recommended that archaeological clearance be granted
or the proposed project area, since no significantcultural. resources will be impacted by the proposed projects

22. Mandatory Findings of Significance.
a. Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wil.dli'2e
Population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plantor animal com-
munity,, reduce Che :num'ber or restrict
the range of a rare or endangered
plant or animal or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of
California history or prehi'story7
C
b, Does the project have the potential
to achieve short term benefits to
the detriment of publicly adopted
long-term environmental goals?
is
c. Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but
cumulatively considerable? (a project
may impact on two or more separate
resources where the impact on each
resource is relatively ,small, but
where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment is
P significant,)-`
d. Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
