Our comments on the draft EIR for this 110 lot subdivision are as follows:
1. Sewage from this development could adversely affect water
` reek and area round water. ,A properly
` co C
of L7 tt e Ch7 _ _ ground ua1�t 1
y
designed, constructed and maintained<sewage disposal system
may mitigate this water quality' impact, All the information
'was
needed to evaluate the proposed disposal system not included
in the draft EIR.
2. A report of waste discharge must be filed with the Regional
Board for the sewage discharge from this proposed develop-
ment.. Enclosed is a copy of a report of waste discharge
request letter.`

Use .of Land by th;e Bucks Mountain Deer Nerd 'During the Winter.
Previous comments from DFG'indicate that this herd
covers over one half of the foothill area Of the county from
Lake Oroville northward to this area. While the site does
accommodate deer on a year-raund basis, clustering of home"
sites on the canyon rim and valley floor, avoids the dense
tree and brush areas and provides avenues for mlrvement by
deer and other Wildlife throughout the site. rdvision 10f
the property into 5L--20 acre parcels could be �a,ccomplished,

Impacts Upon Little Chico_Creek
2. & 6. Poor development and illegal grading practices
Chico Creok� Fishand Game
have caused damage to Little The
designation as an "Area of Special. Biological .signify cancc"
is not accompanied by any specified protectian procedures,,
however, and the recommended mitigation of 50 :toot setbacks
ipg 20) and erasion control. measures (pp 15 and 19) can 'be
required as conditions for PAC zoning.
Impacts Upon Rip�irian:Vegetation
3., ; The 50 :Coot setbacks recommended on p.20 Will
protect the riparian habitat along Little Chico Creek and
subsidiary streams. Soil conditions (shallow, saturated
soils) will prevent development on other areas with marsh
or riparian vegetation.
Impacts on Rare and Endangered Plants
4. The two surveys, (December 1070 and March 1.980) <,for
rare and end;angered plants did not reveal any rare and en�
dangexed, plants on areas proposed for development. The 1a-
p east»
cation of a possible example of Butte T'xitillaxy (P�
wood. ae) is out of the development area, as are other po-
tential, areas for this species..
