March 31, 1'983 Butte County Board of 'Supervisors County Administration, Building 25 County Center Drive Oroville, CA 95965 Re: Lime Saddle Ridge Estates' Appeal of EIR Requirement Honorable Board Members: The Lime Saddle Ridge Estates PA -C subdivision is a small development adjacent to An intensely developed recreational area. Although the Initial Study Checklist ,prepared by staff has a number of "maybe's" marker:, there are no serious environmental problems At this location which cannot be mitigated:, When the project proponents first contacted me regarding their project, they indicated Courity planning staff had preliminarily indicated an EIR 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 identified impacts; which could not be mitigated would be an unnecessary expense and a waste of County staff resources in reviewing and processing such a documttnt. Final judgment rests with this Board of Supervisors: we ask that youconsiderstaff scheduling priorities, since reviewing and processing EIR's consumes staff time. If there is excess time available (and we doubt it), such time should be spent on more pressing issues, not minor projects that conform to the General Plan such as this one. In this case, a mitigated negative declaration is more that adequate to meet the requirements of the California Environmental quality Act, In response to the staff's checklist, we would respectfully ask chat you reevaluate the severity of anticipated environmental impacts and make the appropriate Adjustments in the checklist findings, some issues warrant a 11to" tespInse, others can be left As "maybe" with mitigation measures. The result wotild btt a mitigated negative declaratiot.

Rezone #83=45 Dear Earl Oil 26 March, 1083 I cot:ducted a rare plant survey of the subject parcel. The purpose of the survey was to determine U there is any PotenkiGl for adverse environmental impact to rare and endanger site: ed Plants on the project At Present tWo rare and endangered plant species are known to occur on habitat types that could be present on the parcel, these axe Juncus leiospermus (Red Bluff Rush) and 5idalcea robusta (Butte County Checkeirr mallaw). Extant populations of both species are known from within three miles of the project site. Upon surveying the property several areas with the same habitat types and plant associates that are associated with Sida'lcea robusta elsewhere were discovered, however, careful surveys of these areas revea lid no new Populations of this rare species. It should be noted that although the rare Sidaltea does not flower this early in the season its vegetative growth has already begun and the base] leaves are plainly visible to the trained observer. This, and the absence of liv(:stbck grazing-) facilitated this '+early season" search The sutvey for Juncus leiospermus was condur.ted differently. This tiny ann:'al is not i nt Ciable this early in t`he season,, however it restricts its otcurance to a ver Particular and easily located habitat: vernal pools was encoiinteied Therefor Upon si►rveying the parcel no such habitat. and vernally moist seepages Therefore Juncus lefospokmus is not cofsidered a Potential inhabitant of the property. Based upon the results of the rare plant survey I can find no adverse impact to rare and endangered Plants on the potential for project site, and although the on-site vegetation is relatively intact tt is in no way unique and merits no special consideration in the environmental review processa.

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 18005 usually in areas where livestock war grazed. The flume oftthes from a intermittent intermite trainage located to the north tedge 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 miring and a hydraulic mining operation is located to the scath of the southern property boundary. No artifacts or other features are associated with these two features. The locationsof these features was noted on an aerial photograph of the property area and no additional mitigation measures are recommended for these features. It is recommended that r.rchaeologioal clearance be granted for the proposed project area, since no significant cultural resources will be impacted by the Proposed project. Sincerely `yours /James P.
