As l ' a part of the continuing comprehensive planning program, refinements will provide much more accurate projections be made for specific subregions within the County. The year 2000 pop.. elation projections indicates that Butte County will grow from the 1970 census figures 'of 101,969, to approximately � QR 20R 0 or approximately 100 increase. Population growth is based ' f on two factors: natural i-ncrease (the number of live birth°• minus the number of deaths in a given periodj! and net migration (the number of persons who move into the County from other areas minus the l number of persons who move out of the County). Ln recent decades, Butte County has gained. most o,f is i new population as a result of in -migration. 9 In 'the. 60's mi - . , gration into the area has represented a higher percenta9e of the total increase, attributing more than one half of the total population gain. In the future, net in -migration should continue to play a predominant role as far as the tots'r .ounty population is conc-erned. This is particularly 4 � tr7 new industries are attracted, since population move- met,, 'e largely related to opportunity, ,job Dist tion 'the Federal Bureau of the Census showed Butte County popU P°lore as 82,030, The 1970 Census indicated a County wide ipulation of 101,969; 1 Total populatian Of a community is both interesting and significant, in that age distribution and the facts peM- taihing to the manner in which the total population re- presents the different age brackets may a significant determinant of the type and amount of goads and service] that will be required in the future. It is of particular 1 sighificance to those responsible for providing school facilities since there is a large segment of the popuy l atio,n of pre-school age. i C 5CHQOL ENROLLMENT The facts of dis0-1h rt,ion Ia'rgr(y detoomine the" element of density and directly r_%ates to the Lind use pattern either as it is, or as will br establ is'hoa by tht County's zoning. -- It will be noted that in seve-,r al instAn�.es there is a de- finiahle clear line of el',Oslon betWeer. populous areas and areas with very rrpaeso pc,r--ulatjor► i f ally~ � Al though the present 1�act� 0 #%. refercnt�e to pop�rl anion in terms of distributia--i and dun;w;i ty a'v`e si gni fi cant and Om- portant, what the fu ut e holds in store in these respLtt5 is even more im urtant, It i5 p posyib►e at this time to project future distribution oy densities because the County's land use pattern is well esteiblished -. and to deter- mine the fut+are possible population.

'Reference is again made to the map presentation of the Y970 ;population distribution based on enumeration districts, Xt will be noted that there are several substantialareas practi- cally devoid of population. On the land use map contained in this report those areas devoid of population consist of` three principal types; vacant acreage, acreage used for some form of agricultural activity including dairies, and areas occupied by existing industrial development. A, major question which remains for the County to answer is whether the location and the size and shape of various areas is such that they should be made available for additional residential development or whether they should be prese;—Qr1,4 in their existing uses The answer to this r -stion w' Involve both social a , . . :onomi c consi derati both c which are based on c%. ,.omi tants of popul ati c It is that this report will serve to clarify in more detai It those consideratiois that should produce the answers s ,I t r r I fir+ "d i 5 ti ouF�n F� rr 7�A r..M rl Y 1 RAN T' " RPHC SYINL 11c 55" Cin l L ,... �..� ........

The p'roble,is related to refuse disposal are becoming more acute as the County's population continues to expand. A typical community will produce refuse at a rate of about 3.75 pounds pet- perpon per day, thus generating over 1/2 ton per person per year. The cost of transporting refuse from point of pickup to point of disposal amounts to '12 to 1I cents per ton % .r'1e. For ,�. a community of 10,000 persons this amounts to d1 l.75 per mile per year for transportation alone as a m oimum. As a general rule the maximum haul distance to a sanitary 1nd fill site should be less than 10 miles and the sight srouuld '- be easily accessable from major, freeways expressways or arterials. The County 'is locating solid waste transfer stations at points of high popula`ion concentration to facilitate the collection of solid waste at a central point for more convenient hauling to the central sanitary land fill location at Neal Goad. The transfe- station concept can provide convenience as well as economy for the citizens of the County if the transfer station sites are properly located, -- Site Selection and Classification ....._t - ._ With respect to surface and ground water pollution, the most " important factor: governing landfill site uelecti-on and classification are the physical characteristics of the en- vironment surrounding the site. These characteristics, i.e 9 geology, by logy; and topography, determine the degree of rotection arparticular site affords, thus dictating the t e of refuse to be deposited. Also, in certain cases, the placement fe-deri ved as i°ui do prior r�fus�rier pl acement�sttii 17 Modify the degr(�e of protection afforded and thus affect the type of refu,.e that can he deposited. C1 as si fi c<7ti on of �Jaste Maeri a1� As a guide to prescribing requirements for disposal of baste materials at solid waste disposal sites Stroh matt rials r 1.0.0 have been separated into the following three general classifi- eationsc Group 1. General Industrial Wastes with Significant Water Pollution Potential. ".G., liquid and/or soluble industrial 4.,,astes, and toxic industrial w -- ashes. Group 2. Household and Commercial Refuse and Rubbish'. �• E.G., empty tin cans-, metals, paper and paper Products, cloth and clothing, wood and wood pro- i ducts, lawn clippings, sod, shrubbery, hair, hide, bones, small dead animals, roofing paper and tar p paper, garbage, and ashes (except toxic industrial ashes). Group 3 Solid, Inert Wastes. E.G., earth, rock, gravel, Concrete, asphalt pav`ng fragments, glass, plaster and plaster board, manufactured rubber products, steel mill slag, slay and clay products, and asbestos shingles. Locational Factors of Disposal Areas . -'Disposal areas -hould not be located near residential areas. The movement of disposal tnucks to and from the sites through residen'tial areas can create obvious conflicts pis osal areas should be even spe rq ' p special developer. nt _ consideration since they are generally not attractive. It is therefore recomtrended that sites be carefully selected, and.development plans reviewed by the appropriate County agencies to insure that the operation is aesthetically compatible with the sirrounding area. landscaping around tho peri meter should be manditory to visually screen the site from surrounding developments. A standard of 10 miles should be adopted as a maximum hauling distance to sanitary land fill locations from the urban centers. ' Access to the transfer sites and sanitary land fill site should be from a major highway and should not pa traverse or circulate through residential urea$..' Ynspite of best possible care and nperation, dwst► smoke and odor may come from disposal ,areas at times and, therefore, ,should be located down E.iind from inhabited areas. in order ,to eliminate problems of flooding and sail' erosion a.nd possible wat<.r pollution, the disposal should :be located so th ". it is not subject to a large volumes of drain,.. -, ,,,,e water runoff. Incineration of refuse should not be, allowed unless -- technical improvements for incin(,ration make this method acceptable to the County air po lutfon control district and State air pollution tontr7ol district, and prove to be mote desirable and economically feasible than the land fill methods of disposal Detailed short -and long-range plans for the manage - Ment generated within specific areas should be adopted which delineate the responsibility for developincl an overall County coordinated plan taking into account the specific n°reds and plans for cities and districts. r— The future sites for disposal facilities and methods of disposal should be determined and the sites s -elected should be set aside in advance. if -- economically feasible: Local ordinances gove,rning the storage, collection, transportation and disposal of .olid waste should be adopted. These ordinances should be compatible with the mi ni maim standards established by the State but should generally be more restrictive and com- prehensive. Adopt ordinances guarantying that the necessary i nspecti ren services of the various solid waste disposal sites. r- a 9 Pubiic Buildings Count:v Center The term "County Center generally applies to an aren within which public and quasi -public buildings are grouped. In very large communities such grouping is usually, confined to public admi ni s tragi ve buildings and, 1cir that reason, "hdmi ni trrat'i ve i L Center" is a term occasionally used. in Butte County, however, the, term "County Center" is appro priate because it is conceivable that more than administra- tive units may be located therein, and without conflict. it has been demonstrated that there is advantage in having such facilities ;ocated in close proximity to tho focal point of the commercial life of a county. Government and .priva4e enterprise in both industry and commerce have demonstrated that in the field of economics, efficiency and pride of accomplishment, there is value in functionallV grouping their components, Many government and urban centers have been designed and developed on this basis. The site selected for the Butte County Government Center by the Board of Supervisors is located in the I'The"malito Area" of oroville and conta'ns some 100 acres; The 'follo«ing departments are already located on the site. AgriculturaI Commissic Ger, Librai,y, Superintendant of Schools, State Division of Forestry, Hospital, Welfare, Public Works planning, Jail, Juvenile Hall and the Superior Court buil ding. To meet the needs of the County in terms of lana use and circulatory patterns, and from the standpoint of suitability for County Center purposes this location is adequate to serve the prof ectedneeds of the County to the year 2000, The growing practice on the�part of local governments of establishing wellwdesig°ned and well=maintained government �- centers provides compensation even beyond the statistical consideration!; of ecoNomiand efficiency. This additional s compensation is found ivi justifiable pride of county -_ accomplishment, n i y the County,� has established i shed servi cve In addition to the County Center in Thernalito and ad,ministrati offices in Downtown Orov 11c., e centers in the Ci a. es of Cr dl ey and Chico and the Paradise 11.0 OBER CA -IA's.

These projections are of sufficient accuracy to en- able pro -rated use proposals to be set, forth As a part of the continuing comprehensive planning program, refinements will provide much more accurate projections be made for specific subregions within the County. The year 20,00 pops ulation projections indicates that Butte County will grow from the 1970 census figures of 101,969, to approximately 200,000, or approximately 100% increase. Population growth is, based on twn factors; natural increase (the number of live births minus the number of deaths in a givenperiod), and net migration (the number of persons who move into the County from other areas minus the number, Of persons who move out of the County). In recent decades, uutte County has gained,most of its new population as a result of in -migration. In the Wsj mi- gration into the area has represented a higher percentage of the total increase, attributing more than one half of the tota'i population gain. In the future, net in -migration should continue to play a predominant role as far as the total County population is concerned. This is particularly true if new industries are attracted, since population move- ments, are largely related to job opportunity. Distribution The 1960 Federal Bureau of the Census showed Butte County population as 82,030. The 1970 Census indicated a County wide population of 101069. Total population of a community is both interesting and significant, in that age distribution and the facts per- taining to the manner in which the total population re- presents the different ane brackets may be a signi-ficant determinant of the type and amount of goods and service that will be required in the futuree It is of particular significance to those responsible for providing school facilities since there is a large segment of the popu- lation of pre school ager l 3 i 1 8 HOOL E: ROl LMENT The facts of distv,1b tu t+oo largr.Iy deteen,1-le the elament of density and direr.tly rl-%latpei, to the taro use pattern either as it is, or as will be est�,bl ;shed by the County Is zoning. -- It will be noted that, 4n sevr!ral instances thr reis a de- finiah'le clear line of di,Islon betweer. populous ,areas and areas with very par:sc room tior! i r arly.

I Reference Is again made,to the map presentation of the Y970 population distribution based on enumeration districts, It , will be noted that there are several substantial areas prActi- tally devoid of population. On the land use map contained in this t-eport those areas devoid of population consist of three principal types; vacant acreage, acreage used for form of agricultural activity i n cl -idi ng dairies, and some areas occupied by existing industrial development. A is ;.: mayor question which remains for the County to answer whether the location and the size and shape of various areas is such that they should be made available for additional residential development or whether they should be preserved in their existing uses, The answer to this question will considerat`+ons both of involve both social and economic which are based on concomitants of population. it is hnped , that this report will serve to clarify in more details th-se considerations that should produce the answers. 1, Y 3.3 �", Jj f IEri1LLE3^o up i 9 �F w tea. r RAND STIAL _. , 1 t SSET Gift k 4 I wry 1 Irr r�r w.w r ul 2N ` " v1 a It 112Y C IYII. u till �' t U !Y27 w it P LGA 111 AA►► NtlRO ` r �/In",{>' 9 Au till ..ill Lr uG .32 } `•` ^^ l s JJ i 711 .`• F S9R11.1H Ch. 1131. !c! bA PV, 11i1iy+r .r,.

In the study, Employment Expansion and Population Growth,e California Experience: 1900 - 19500' Margaret Gordon foundTh that non -economic considerations such as climate or social. amenities play important roles in connection with the desire to migrate to California, whili economic considerations Ore the decisive factors in the actual decision and the timing of migration. A person may desire to move to California, but i.s usually not willing to quit his ;job or sell his house until he has a possibility of employment here. This is especially; important to counties with 'high unemployment rates. The proportion of the migrants in the young working ages that cAme to California during the 1950°s was considerably above the state and national p1^oportions in thoseage range -s. In sppite of this heavy concentration of job seekers 4Mohg t'he inr-migrants, the unemployment rate in California was approximately the same or lower than, the national rate throughout the decade of the sixties. This was true of Butte County in the early sixties, but the unemployment rate has steadily grown and is now substantially higher than the state and national average. Margaret Gordon has found that 'periods of heaviest in - migration have been associated with periods of unusually ,rapid economic development, when the rate of economic expansion of, the State has exceeded that of the Nation." There was an unusually high in~migration and temporary, rapid economic expansion during construction of the Oroville Dam, The following sequence of causes of population growth may oco r as a result of rapid expansions There is an initial improvement in economic conditlon,i, followed by the exploitation of favorable investment opportunities and an increase in employment opportUnities: This results in an acceleration of the rate of net in -migration with an i ncfeased demand for consumer goods and services. This finally reaches a turning point as the net in - migration overcomes the expansion of empl oyfi{ent opportunities, thus completing a cycle. 3.4 i The cyclical influence of economic opportunity is apparent in Butte County as 1wel l as California, There has been no attempt to forecast these cycles because this 1report is concerned with long-range trends of population growth and economic development, The decision of one or two firms, to move ; into or out of a large pity way have little effect on snneral trends of economic development because underlying forces are so strong. It has a severe impact on a smaller ,. community, Experience shows that urbanized areas with large populations build a growth momentum., It is almost impossible for small communities to compete 'because of the in tial advantage of this momentum when competing for industry. As an urban center° increases in s i z`, the compl ex`s t,y of its economic relationships groves and it, becomes more self- suf'fi ci ent The ratio of service- industry to basic i ndust,y increased with the size of the urhah centet% It Gould be, said that sheer size ,mpels`growth since it prbvldes oppor- tunities for higher degrees o1 son-tializati'on and division of labor which uoderl ke hikIlier 1Pvels Ot eranomic acti O t,y .
