Pursuant to Butte County Code, our review time is charged at an hourly rate of $154.20 and to date we have spent more than 7 hours reviewing the deeds you submitted. Unfortunately many of the documents you provided were illegible; many of the other documents do not describe the parcels in their present configuration. Below, based upon our analysis to date, is a listing of the parcels or portions thereof we can identify as being separately described in conformance with County regulations and those parcels needing additional information: Deed AP Number Comments Reference 132 DDS 211, 059-060-011 Describes parcel page 220 -see AP page 83 DDS 115 Describes parcel )age 117 -see AP page 059-060-047 No legible documents provided for review 059-060-053 No legible documents provided.

See AP page As we have previously discussed we will need copies of the Butte Meadows Subdivision and Butte Meadows Subdivision No. 2 maps filed in Tehama County for a determination of whether or not these maps created separate lots. Please note that the deed recorded in Book 146 of Deeds Page 476 conveys some of these lots, however without the maps it cannot be determined if they were conveyed individually or as a block. Also please provide legible documents showing when and how the remaining properties were created and a deposit for the review in the amount of $1,542.00. Upon receipt we will continue our review of your project, any unused review fees will be returned. If you should have any questions concerning this matter,. please contact this office Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at (530) 538-7266. Sincerely, Stuart Edell, P.E.

Although the specifics ARE important (eventually), I think that this meeting today is to lay out some of the conceptual issues and possible routes forward. First, they have not yet submitted a second REZ application, to split the initial application into separate "Butte Meadows" and "Sterling City" applications. I expect that they will do that soon, maybe today. I anticipate that today's discussions will focus on: How our CEQA analysis would address the sub -160 -acre parcels and underlying subdivision maps. Is it appropriate for some or all of these small parcels to be re -zoned to TM -160? Are there better alternatives? (island zoning designations for the smaller parcels?) Options for bringing smaller parcels into closer conformance with 160 minimums (LLAs, TPMs, MERs)? The result of the REZ would clearly be to unencumbered this land for a wider variety of uses and to make it more liquid and marketable after 10 years. This point would be a central theme/concern in the CEQA analysis. Reminder: 1:00 pre -meeting to assess and strategize 1:30 meeting with Cedric Twight, Lands Division Forester for Sierra Pacific, REZ project manager Meeting Location: has CHANGED to Public Works Conf.

Box 496014 Redding, CA 96049 REGARDING: "Incomplete" status of Rezone application REZ08-0002 APN: 060-080-026, 060-100-001, 060-100-002, 060-060-004, 060-060-0091 060-060-012, 059- 060-053, 059-060-056, 059-060-011, 059-060-047, 059-060-054, and 059-060-055. Following the May 7, 2008 meeting of the Butte County Inter -Departmental Review Committee, and pursuant to California Government Code, Title 7, Division 1 (§65920 et. seq, 65940), the above referenced project application was deemed "incomplete". This application will remain "incomplete" until such time as the items detailed below are adequately addressed. Completeness of an application indicates that it is ready for additional processing, including environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The comments and completeness issues detailed below are based on the information provided to date. Assessment and review of additional information may result in additional completeness issues that must be addressed. 1) The County has determined that the two distinct areas proposed for rezone are substantially separated and must be processed as individual applications for the purposes of environmental review. The land described by APN above is composed of two broadly separated sites (+/-12-mile separation) with location -specific potential environmental issues. One portion (+/-1,661 acres, 5 APNs) is located just north of the community of Butte Meadows, and one portion (+/-1,679-acres, 6 APNs) is located immediately surrounding and to the southwest of the community of Sterling City. To satisfy this requirement for separate applications, an additional separate application and application fee will need to be submitted for one or the other of the two areas. Butte County Development Services will then create separate project application numbers for each of the two sites. To the greatest extent possible, these two applications will then be processed concurrently/in tandem. 2) As we have already discussed with Mr. Twight, you are required to provide parcel creation deeds, patents, and/or maps as pertinent for all underlying parcels which comprise each of the eleven Assessor's parcels proposed for rezone to TM -160. For each creation "deed" or "patent", the Land Development Department of the Public Works Division will charge a $77.10 fee (by separate payment upon submittal) for the review and determination of "Incomplete" status of REZ08-0002 application, Sierra Pacific Industries compliance of each parcel (deed or patent) with State law and Butte County requirements for parcel creation. Attached is a copy of the County's Timber -Mountain TM -160 zoning code. You will note that this zone allows for more and different uses than does the TPZ-160. A rezone would free -up all such parcels from the current restrictions of the TPZ zone, and make them available for the uses allowed under the TM -160 zone. The requirement of indentify the total number of underlying parcels is critical to the County's thorough CEQA environmental assessment of the potential impacts that would be reasonably expected to result (in 10 years) from the rezoning action. For example, APN 060-100-001 (17.76 acres) appears to have as many as 35 underlying +/- '/Z -acre parcels, created by the "Butte Meadows" Subdivision Map #2, recorded in Book 10, Page 13 in 1926 (copy here attached). Whereas "Butte Meadows" Subdivision Map #1, recorded in Book 7, Page 43 in 1910 (copy here attached) did not create valid underlying parcels on APN 060-100-002 (10.22 acres). 3) Please provide also the legal description for the "Butte Meadows" property. This was lacking from the current submittal -materials. 4) For each of the two sites, please provide a reference map/plat identifying by APN and acreage the parcels proposed for rezone and their boundaries. Accurately co -joined APN maps would adequately serve this purpose, if provided art a readable scale, in 11" X 17" format. 5) Depending on the level of complexity evident in the creation deeds provided, the Land Development Department of.the Public Works Division may require a composite title report for each of the two separate locations. 6) The Department of Environmental Health and CAL-Fire/Butte County Fire Department are not able to provide their comments on these rezone applications until the number and location of all underlying parcels is determined. Should you have any further questions regarding this application and determination, I can be reached between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, at (530) 538- 7153, or via e-mail at stroester(cD-buttecounty.net. /, Steve Troester, Senior Planner (530) 538-7153.

Box 496014, Redding, CA 96049 REPRESENTATIVE: ADDRESS: PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This an application to rezone approximately 3, 340 acres (consisting of 11 APNs) from TPZ-160 Timber Preserve Zone 160 -acre parcel size to TM -160 Timber Mountain 160 -acre parcel size. The land is composed of two sites; one of 1,661 acres (5 APNs) just north of the community of Butte Meadows, and one +/-1,679-acre portion (6 APNs) immediately surrounding and to the southwest of the community of Sterling City . Per State Code 51120, if approved by the County, the new zoning designation would not become effective for ten years. The applicant, Sierra Pacific Ind. States that it intends to continue timber production operations on this land. The TM -160 zone would allow for a much broader range of uses. The number of underlying developable parcels within the I 1 APNs is unknown. Applicant was informed that they will need to provide creation documents for the parcels. Given the +/-12-mile separation between the two sites, separate applications may need to be processed. Applicant has provided full NRCS soils information on file in DDS project file. TM -160 zone allows for one primary and one permanent second dwelling per parcel, as well as other uses by Use Permit.

Box 496014 • Redding, California 96049-6014 Phone (530) 378- 8000 - FAX (530) 378-8139 September 1 i'201 0 Tim Snellings, Director Butte County Development Services 7 County Center Drive, Oroville, CA 95965 Dear Mr. Snellings, This letter is in regards the Butte County General Plan Zone District Update and the allowable uses provided for the Timber Production Zone District. Sierra Pacific Industries does not support the proposed allowable uses found in the update to the Timber Production Zone district. In particular the removal of a right to a single family dwelling from the Timber Production district is unacceptable as it strips a fundamental right that these parcels have enjoyed since these parcels came into private ownership and has been perpetuated through the enactment of the Timber Productivity Act, which initiated and forms the basis for all Timber Production Zone districts in the state. The loss of a right to a single family dwelling on the Timber Production parcels we own would be a massive reduction in the overall asset value of our ownership in Butte County. This loss of assets value would place additional limitations on our ability to use these lands as collateral for financing our business operations. Considering that there has been no problems with the current Timber Production Zone district ordinance and the fact it is in compliance with the Timber Productivity Act it is our request that the existing Timber Production Zone ordinance be adopted as the updated version of the Timber Production Zone ordinance, with a couple of small changes. The following is the existing Butte County Timber Production Zone ordinance, which has been edited to reflect our requested changes. Deletions are shown as strikeouts and included language is shown as an underline. 24-195 - TPZ-160 (Timber Preserve) Zone. (a) Uses permitted: (1) Compatible uses, which are any uses that do not significantly detract from the use of the property for, or inhibit, growing and harvesting timber, and shall include, but not be limited to, the following, unless in a specific instance such a use would be contrary to the preceding definition of compatible use: a. Housing units that would be compatible to timber uses. b. Management for watershed. C. Management for fish and wildlife habitat or hunting and fishing. d. A use integrally related to the growing, harvesting and processing of forest products, including but not limited to roads, log landings and log storage areas. Q (b) (c) e. The erection, construction, alteration or maintenance of gas, electric, water or communication transmission facilities, small hydro generating projects of five (5) megawatts or less, exploratory seismology testing. f. Grazing. g. Mining, or any use integrally related thereto. . h. Commercial wind energy projects L Run of the river hydro electrical projects (2) Reserved. Lot area. The minimum lot area for inclusion in the timber preserve zoning district shall not be less than one hundred sixty (160) acres and must consist of contiguous, parcels, contiguous meaning two (2) or more parcels of land that are adjoining or neighboring or are sufficiently near to each other as determined by the board of supervisors that they are manageable as a single forest unit. Such parcels must be capable of growing an. average annual volume of wood fiber as determined by the county assessor at least fifteen (15) cubic feet per acre. Inclusion standards. The parcel or parcels to be included in the timber preserve zoning district shall comply"with the following criteria: (1) A map shall be prepared, showing the legal description and assessor's parcel number of the property desired to be zoned. (2) (3) (e) A plan for forest management must be prepared or approved, as to content, for the property by a registered professional forester. Such plan shall provide for the eventual harvest of timber within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the preparer of the plan. The parcel shall meet the timber stocking standards set forth in section 4561 of the Public Resources Code and the forest practice rules adopted by the state board of forestry for the district in which the parcel is located, or the owner must sign an agreement with the board of supervisors to meet such stocking standards and forest practice rules by the fifth anniversary of the signing of such agreement. Upon the fifth anniversary of the signing of such agreement, the board of supervisors shall determine whether the parcel meets the timber stocking standards in effect on the date the agreement was signed. If the parcel fails to meet the timber stocking standards, the board of supervisors shall immediately rezone the parcel and specify a new zone for such parcel which is in conformance with the county general plan and whose primary use is other than timberland. The parcel shall be privately owned land, or land acquired for state forest purposes, which is devoted to and used for growing and harvesting timber, or for growing and harvesting timber and compatible uses, and which is capable of growing an average annual volume of wood fiber of at least fifteen (15) cubic feet per acre. The parcels shall be in compliance with the compatible uses as set forth in subsection (a) of this section. The land shall be of site quality IV or better, as described in section 434.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, for purposes of valuation. Addition. Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this section, recently acquired land may be added to an existing timber preserve zoning district regardless of the parcel size if the addition is under the same ownership and is capable of growing fifteen (15) cubic feet per acre of wood fiber. Size of parcels. Parcels zoned as "TPZ" timber preserve zoning district may not be divided into parcels . less than one hundred sixty (160) acres. 1 +r �f) _ Front yard required. Minimum required front building setback shall be not less than fifty (50) feet from the center line of the road,' except where the road is classified by the county as a federal aid secondary road, in which case the minimum required front building setback shall not be less than fifty-five (55) feet from the centerline of the road. (g) Side yard required. Minimum required side building setback shall be not less than twenty-five (25) feet. (h) Rear yard required. Minimum required rear building setback shall be not'less than fifty (50) feet. (Ord. No. 3176_ § 1(Exh.

The soils, slopes, and watershed conditions will be suitable for the uses.proposed by the applicant if the immediate rezoning is approved; . 4. The immediate rezoning is not inconsistent with the purposes of subdivision (j) of Section 3 of Article XIII of the Constitution and of this chapter. D. The existence of an opportunity for an alternative use of the land shall not alone be sufficient reason for granting a request for immediate rezoning pursuant to this section. Immediate rezoning shall be considered only if there is no proximate and suit- able land which is not zoned timberland preserve for the alternate use not permitted within a timberland preserve zone. E. The uneconomic character of the existing use shall not be sufficient reason for the approval of immediate rezoning pursuant to this section.

Page 3 of 3 Procedure for Generating and Recording NODs or NOEs The project planner is responsible for completing the following tasks: 1) Send an e-mail to Dianna Lewellen requesting that she provide you with a copy of the Auditor's Treasurer's Receipt (ATR) showing that the NOE or NOD recordation fee was paid (at some time in the past)., She has these in an electronic file and can send a scan to you. You can even request this ATR well in advance of the hearing or LLA approval. That way you've got it when you need it without a last-minute request to Dianna. 2) To generate an NOE or NOD follow the following steps in Project-TRAK: AAAA a. Open: the project in TRAKIT b. Veri : that the project description has not changed overtime, and that the APN (s) are correct. c. Click on: PRINT d. Click on: Display Window. e. Highlight: User -Defined Format. f. Hit: GO. g. Use the directory to go to: G:/ Projects/ TRAKIT Merge Docs./ NOE or NOD (as needed). h. Veri : that everything reads correctly in the NOE or NOD. • Fill-in the State Clearinghouse Number. • Fill-in either the Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors as approving body. • Check: Negative Declaration (3.) and Mitigation Measures (4.). 3) The DECLARATION OF FEES DUE is another required sheet of this filing. This is a page of the merge document. Fill-in .whether it's an NOE or an NOD. Diane Lewellen will be able to provide you with documentation (an ATR) that the current amount of Fish and Game (F&G) fees have been paid. It is the responsibility of the project Planner to confirm, in advance of the Planning Commission hearing, that the current level of F&G fees has been paid. If no other deposits are available to backfill a shortfall, a new invoice may need to be sent to the applicant. This would preclude filing the NOD in the statutory 5 -day period required to limit the CEQA appeal period to 30 days (rather than 6 months). Be sure to enter the ATR (receipt) number in the appropriate location on the DECLARATION OF FEES DUE form. � /Pn�e�s j��loeiest__�o Sal 4) Mitigation Measures: The second page of the NOD lists the approved Mitigation Measures (MMs). Go to the adopted IS -MND in the project file and copy -out the MMs and paste them onto the second page of the NOD. 5) Print: a copy of the NOD with destination checked Butte County Clerk. 6) Print: a copy of the NOD with destination checked Office of Planning and Research. 7) Print: envelope to OPR. 8) Get Chuck to sign: the two copies of the NOD or NOE. 9) Mail the OPR copy to OPR. 10) Make THREE (3) full copies of the NOE/NOD and DECLARATION OF FEES DUE to carry up with the original to the Recorder's Office. 11) Walk: the NOD/NOE up to the Recorder's Office with a photocopy of the Auditor's Treasurer's Receipt (ATR) (and a smile). The Recorder counter person will date/time -stamp -in one copy and hand it back_to-you. The recorded NOE/ or NOD arrives back in DDS by couriersome a /weeks later. 12) Scan the_ate/tim6-st p -in one copy of the NOE/NOD from the Recorder's Office Go: to the project file in TRAKIT and place a note in Chronology that the NOD was filed for recordation with the Recorder and attach the NOD into TRAKIT. 13) While you're in TRAKIT: change the project status to APPROVED and note the date of Approval. This might be a good time_to scan -in and attach the Approved Conditions of Approval (if they're ready). 14) Hopefully, when the recorded NOE or NOD comes back to DDS from the Recorder's Office, it will be routed to the "Contact Person" (that's you) on the NOE or NOD. Scan that puppy, go to the project file in TRAKIT, and place a note in Chronology that the NOD was been recorded, and attach the scanned NOD into TRAKIT. Once you've verified that the recorded NOD has been successfully attached into TRAKIT, you can pitch the original. Congratulations, the CEQA gods have been satisfied! 2 J gr�5�'wpl-- v, ron MCVJ (1 S'em,K, Pyf U� v e v A�l • '• 1 as . •a•• • � r •w S0 14 '"• ♦ - _ ! � 690 fi : ., i � Y o ' +.•. •�c. •. i + u moo.

S-0002 1. There is no proposed development schedule related to this request for rezone. The rezone will become effective 10 -years after the Board of Supervisors approval per Government Code 51120(d). The Timber Production parcels are requested for rezone to the Timber Mountain 160 (TM -160) zone district. The TM -160 zone district supports continued timber harvesting and is similarly restrictive regarding the potential for residential uses and minimum parcel size. Considering the length of time required for the rezone to become effective the only foreseeable future project to occur on these parcels is timber harvesting and related management activities. 2. No other permits or other public approvals are required for this project. 3. The parcels to be rezoned are north and south of the Butte Meadows and adjacent to Stirling City. Parcels near Butte Meadows are accessed by the Humboldt Road via Highway 32. Parcels near Stirling City are accessed via the Skyway. The parcels near Butte Creek parcels range in elevation from 3840' along Cascade Creek to 4880' south of Butte Creek along the Skyway. The topography of the site is mostly gentle terrain with slopes ranging from nearly flat on the broad ridge tops to >40% in some areas adjacent to Cascade Creek, Big Chico Creek, Butte Creek, Long Ravine and some of the unnamed intermittent and ephemeral watercourses. A slope map has been attached that indicates where the varying slope classes are located within these parcels. There are many soil types within the area to be rezoned. The soils in the Stirling City area are principally Neuns, McCarth and Aiken loam that range in depth from 20 inches to 100+ inches in depth. These soils originate from volcanic igneous rock. Soil maps and soil descriptions of the project area have been attached. The dominant soil types found in the parcels near Butte Meadows include: Mountyana Gravelly Loam, 2 to 15 Percent; Redbone Gravelly Medial Sandy Loam, 3 to 15 percent slopes; Mountyana Gravelly Loam, 15-30 percent slopes; and BeeCee Very Gravelly Medial Loam 30-50 percent slopes. There is one area of slope instability in AP 060080026. This unstable area is shown as "Non - Timber" on the Vicinity Map. The unstable area is associated with an intermittent watercourse in which a debris torrent occurred during the January 1, 1997 rain on snow storm event. All of the other areas identified for rezoning appear stable as evidenced by the absence of fresh soil exposure, ground cracking or undulations, or by curved tree growth. Soil reports that detail the physical characteristics of these soils have been attached. Fcot 1�5cri�fi�V� The vegetation types found within these parcels is Sierran Mixed conifer forest stands than contain Ponderosa pine, Sugar pine, Douglas fir, White fir, and Incense cedar. The age of the timber stands range from approximately 65-130 years old, except where recent evenaged regeneration units have been harvested and replanted with young seedlings. The understory contains various shrubs and forbs such as grasses, brush tanoak, deerbrush, whitethorn, gooseberry, blackberry, and Manzanita. Tanoak, liveoak and black oak are the predominant hardwood trees found on these parcels. 4. General Description — There are six parcels associated with this request for non- renewal and rezone near Butte Meadows: 060100001, 060100002, 060060004, 060060009, 060060012, and 060080026 totaling 1,600 acres. Parcels 060100001, 060100002, 060060009 and the center portion of 060080026 are adjacent to rural residential subdivisions that have parcel sizes ranging from one-half acre to approximately eight acres. Many of these residences are for seasonal use; however some are not occupied year-round. The Boy Scouts of America lease a large portion of AP 060060012 along Big Chico Creek. A small pond is also associated with the Boy Scout Camp. The other adjoining parcels are generally owned by Sierra Pacific Industries. The majority of parcels to rezone to TM -160 (70% by area) are within the Cascade Creek Watershed of which 83.10% is owned by Sierra Pacific Industries, 15.53% owned by the public and the remaining I% owned by other private entities. The Bolt Creek Watershed contains approximately 28% of area to be rezoned to TM -160. Sierra Pacific Industries owns approximately 53.05% of the Bolt Creek watershed, the Public own 39.09% and the remaining 7.86% is controlled by other private owners. Only 2% percent of the area to be rezoned is located in the Bull Creek watershed. Sierra Pacific Industries owns 84.21 % of the Bull Creek watershed, 13.39% is owned by the public, and 2.40% is in other private ownership. These watersheds are included in the Sacramento River Winter -Run Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU) and the Central Valley Spring -Run ESU. An Evolutionary Significant Unit is a distinctive group of Pacific (Chinook) salmon and is classified by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). These ESUS include the Sacramento River and its tributaries in California and portions of Butte and Plumas counties. The Sacramento River Winter -Run ESU is listed endangered and the Central Valley Spring -Run ESU is listed threatened by the NMFS. Chinook salmon have historically been unable to access Big Chico Creek and its tributaries due to Higgins Hole, a natural waterfall barrier found on Big Chico Creek approximately 13-14 miles south of the parcels to be rezoned. Due to this natural stream barrier, Chinook salmon are unable to access any stream where the request of rezone occurs. Below the natural Higgins Hole barrier there is the Centerville Powerhouse which represents a man-made barrier for fish migration. The watercourses in the upper portion of the Cascade Creek Watershed are lined with small meadows. The wet meadow sods in these reaches act like sponges that greatly reduce stream velocity. These streams are not the classic, entrenched gravel -or sand -bed channels that are prevalent throughout this area. The normal bed and bouldered streams start below Chico Meadows and the lake found at Camp Lassen. There are six parcels associated with this request for non -renewal and rezone near Stirling City: 059060011, 059060047, 059060053, 059060054, 059060055 and 059060056. The parcels 059060053, 059060056 and 059060047 are bordered on one edge by the town of Stirling City. The two other parcels are surrounded by other Sierra Pacific Industries timberlands. The majority of these parcels (98%) are within the Little West Fork state planning watershed which contains 8,165 acres. Sierra Pacific Industries owns 85% of the Little West Fork watershed, 4% is public land, and the remaining 11% is other private ownership. The eastern edge of parcels 059060056 and 059060054 are in the Fall Creek state planning watershed which contains 10,672 acres. The Fall Creek watershed is approximately 86% owned by Sierra Pacific Industries and 14% is owned by the public. The Little West Fork and Fall Creek watersheds are included within the designated ESU for salmon and steelhead; however the upstream reaches where Sierra Pacific Industries owns property is considered non -restorable due to the presence of powerhouse facilities in the stream channel that impede fish from migrating past the power facility; therefore no anadromous fish are present within the Sierra Pacific Industries ownership in these watersheds. Elevations of the Little West Fork watershed range from 2,200 ft. to 3,400 ft. Recent activity within the watershed has been forestland management under the guidelines of the forest practice act or US Forest Service. Range cattle make use of the watershed's flatter areas particularly around watercourses and meadow areas where forbs and grass forage is available. The Hendrick's Canal located adjacent to and within parcel 056060053. This canal delivers water for use primarily for hydroelectric power generation. Historically, this watershed and this canal have been subject to logging, mining, and ranching effects since the late 1800s. The canal originates from the West Branch of the Feather River located in the Fall Creek watershed immediately east of the rezone area. The canal has been modified in the past such that the canal water is routed into Long Ravine in section 21 via an underground tunnel and is then picked up again about `/i mile downstream by a small PG&E diversion dam which forces the water back into the canal. From the diversion dam the canal is trestled across downstream watercourses and only receives incidental overland water from winter storm events. The rezone area has a mean annual precipitation of 50 to 65 inches. Most of the precipitation occurs as snow every winter with an average frost -free season of 165-240 days. The instream conditions of the watercourses found on these parcels include those normally found in a healthy forest environment including clean rock and gravel beds, overhanging banks, pools, riffles and large woody debris. The streamside vegetation has dense overhead tree canopy coverage. The land use within these watersheds is principally forest management. The parcels to be rezoned are near the towns of Butte Meadows and Stirling City. The Butte Meadows/Jonesville area has approximately 1,500 residences. The town of Butte Meadows is served by Butte County Fire Station #10 located along ' • 0 Humboldt Road. The area is served by Pacific Gas & Electric power. The town of Stirling City is present in the Little West Fork watershed. Stirling City has approximately 300+ residences. The town developed as a lumber mill town by Diamond Match Company in 1902. The mill closed in 1958. Stirling City has the Horace Brakebill Elementary School however it is now closed. Stirling City has a United States Post Office, CAL FIRE station and Volunteer Fire station 12, a Library, a water treatment plant, and sewer system. The Kimshew Cemetery is also located adjacent to Stirling City. Hunting and road driving are the primary recreational uses in these watersheds. The forest is Sierran mixed conifer and is characterized by pole and sawtimber stands on the flat areas with dense canopy cover, larger sawtimber in the streamzones. Black Oak, tanoak, liveoak and dogwood are the principal hardwood tree species present in the adjacent forest stands. A Guide to Wildlife Habitats of California indicates that the mixed conifer forest supports 355 wildlife species. The parcels are situated in the Cascade Creek (5509.140103), Bolt Creek (5521.300101), Bull Creek (5521.300205), Little West Fork (5518.600202) and Fall Creek (5518.600201) California State Planning Watersheds (CPW). A query was run on Sierra Pacific Industries Wildlife and Plant data base for these five CPW's and the results indicate the following special status animal species, the California Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis occidentalis), has been sighted in these watersheds. Species that might utilize all or a portion of this area would include goshawks, northern spotted owls, fishers, and eagles. Plant sightings within these five watersheds include: Long-stiped campion (Silene occidentalis ssp. longistipitata) and Long -leaved starwort (Stellaria longifolia) . Butte County morning-glory (Calystegia atriplicifolia ssp. buttensis), Butte County fritillary (Fritillaria eastwoodiae), and closed -throated beardtongue (Penstemon personatus). 5. No special reports have been prepared for this rezone application because the allowable uses for the Timber Production zone district and Timber Mountain zone district are nearly identical, there is no land division proposed, the are no developments proposed, and the rezone will not be become effective for ten years following the approval of the rezone by the Butte County Board of Supervisors.

The Department of Development Services has consulted with the County Surveyor regarding the splitting of mineral rights that run with a fee parcel. He points out that there appear to be various and complex bodies of state law and guidance in case law that are interconnected in addressing the disposition and transfer of mineral. rights in California. An informal review indicates that the word "mineral" appears only about seven times in the text of the Subdivision Map Act (SMA). None of those references appears to directly address the questions that you have posed. The most specific information that I can provide you is that there appears to be no "smoking gun" that indicates the segregation and division of mineral rights would constitute a violation of the SMA or any Butte County ordinance. You may wish to rely on the advise of Sierra Pacific Industries in this matter. I regret I have been unable to offer a more detailed response to your question. Until an application for a land use entitlement or development permit is submitted to this Department, we will consider this matter a civil issue between private parties in which Butte County is not involved. My earlier communications with you that, generally speaking, the consent of the record owner of the real parcel of land is required for the issuance of a building permit still applies (particularly for a "vacation home" on property in the TPZ (Timber Preserve) Zone. I hope this provides you with the information you need to obtain further information from your own counsel. Please contact either myself of Senior Planner Steve Troester at stroester(a)buttecounty.net if you have any questions or we can be of further assistance. Regards, Chuck v Charles S.

The Planning Division of the Department of Development Services and the Land Development Division of the Public Works Department are working together to respond to the questions you have posed. In regards to the issuance of a building permit, the consent of the record owner of the real parcel of land is required. However, this position may be complicated by both: (1.) any interests an owner of mineral rights has to the surface of the land (you have indicated owners of mineral rights may possess the right to "reasonable use thereof, and waters thereon, as shall be necessary for mining for and extracting said metals and minerals"); and (2.) the relatively strong position of mineral rights versus real property possessory rights in California as compared to other states. You have also indicated your legal counsel has opined that mineral rights cannot be divided and sold separate in a lesser size than that of a larger legal parcel, without following the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act, and that such a division of mineral rights would constitute a violation of the Act. I have not yet been able to consult with our County Surveyor on this matter. I hope to be able to provide you additional information this next week. Thank you for your patience and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, or I may be able to provide you with further information. Regards, Chuck Charles S.

Persons who say they own Mineral Rights Assessor Ref. 060-080- 009 ( 320 -acre of SEC 29 T26N R4E, zoned TPZ 160) have asked the County to make a determination as to whether the County would issue them a building permit for a small house on the site, so that they can exercise their mineral rights. These persons related that they also own mineral rights elsewhere in the County and would potentially be wanting residences on those parcels in relation to mining activities. Here's the background information that I spoke of in my phone voice message to you today. These gentlemen appear to be trying to sell the mineral rights (on E -Bay) for Sierra Pacific property in Butte County: • http://www.encentris.com/Exclusive-1902-Mineral-Rights,i260227323302,c92152.html • http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP1.dll?Viewltem&item=260227323302&SID=p12s2005i A copy of the deed is located here: • http://www.arji1.org/uploads/Sierra Estate Deed.pdf It appears their intent is to sell 20 -acre vacation sites. Here is some more information from their website: • http://www.arjil.om/Family Mining Vacation Camp.php Cedric, we would appreciate any insights and/or background that you might be able to provide on this issue, so that when we next communicate with these persons we have as complete a picture as possible. I am copying this to Chuck Thistlethwaite, Butte County's Planning Manager (538-6572), who will be the lead person in responding to these questions. Thanks much!

You may also wish to contact Tehama County Planning (RHalpin@co.tehama.ca.us). Tehama County (adjacent to Butte County) is processing a re -zone of some Sierra Pacific TPZ land. Also, at the State level, the following person monitors such conversions: Allen Robertson Environmental Protection Coordinator CAL -Fire CDF P.O.

REZ08-0003 3,375 acres proposed for re -zone = 3.2% of Sierra Pacific's TPZ land = 1.92% of Butte County's total TPZ land Causal review of records indicates that Butte County has not previously processed rezone applications from Sierra Pacific. Here are brief descriptions of the two applications: REZ08-0002, "Butte Meadows": This an application to rezone approximately 1,696 acres (consisting of 6 APNs) from TPZ-160 Timber Preserve Zone 160 -acre parcel size to TM -160 Timber Mountain 160 -acre parcel size. The land is composed of 56 APNs just north of the community of Butte Meadows. Per State Code 51120, if approved by the County, the new zoning designation would not become effective for ten years. The applicant, Sierra Pacific Ind. States that it intends to continue timber production operations on this land. The TM -160 zone would allow for a broader range of uses than the TPZ-160. TM -160 zone allows for one primary and one permanent second dwelling per parcel, as well 10/29/2008 Page 2 of 2 as other uses by Use Permit. REZ08-0003, "Stirling City": This is an application to rezone approximately 1,679 acres (consisting of 5 APNs) from TPZ-160 Timber Preserve Zone 160 -acre parcel size to TM -160 Timber Mountain 160 -acre parcel size. The land is composed of 5 APNs surrounding the community of Sterling City. Per State Code 51120, if approved by the County, the new zoning designation would not become effective for ten years. The applicant, Sierra Pacific Ind. States that it intends to continue timber production operations on this land. The TM -160 zone would allow for a broader range of uses than the TPZ-160. The TM -160 zone allows for one primary and one permanent second dwelling per parcel, as well as other uses by Use Permit. Processing of these rezone applications is currently on hold at the applicant's request.

I wonder if you could help me with a few final questions about timberland and zoning changes. I would like to know how many acres in Butte County, owned by Sierra Pacific, have been rezoned from Timber. Production Zone (TPZ) to any lesser protected zoning class in the last ten years, or since 2000, as practicable. I would also like to know acreage of any pending requests from Sierra Pacific to rezone lands from TPZ to any other category. Also, I would like to know how many acres of land owned by Sierra Pacific have been rezoned from another zoning category consistent with timber production, such as general forest or timberland, to any lesser protected zoning classification. I understand that there may be a fee for this information, and I am glad to pay standard fees for this public records request. Please let me know how much it will cost, and I will promptly send a check. Thank you for your help with these questions.

About the requestor (from their web -site): About ForestEthics 3 Founded in 1994, ForestEthics is a nonprofit environmental organization with staff in Canada, the United States and Chile. Our mission is to protect Endangered Forests, and to achieve that goal we've created a revolutionary new approach <http://www.forestethics.org/article.php?id=1463> . The first step is determining which forests are Endangered Forests <http://www.forestethics.org/article.php?id=1082> . We have staff members who live in the forests and work with scientists to define the areas that are most important to protect. We also work with First Nations to make sure their interests are represented -and that they receive funding to implement a viable, ecofriendly economy. When we find that Endangered Forests are being destroyed, we determine which corporations are purchasing the products of that destruction. If a corporation refuses to change its practices, we hold that company publicly accountable -with protests, websites, email campaigns, national advertisements, and more. And when a company is ready to protect Endangered Forests, we help them implement sound policies through our Corporate Action Program <http://www.forestethics.org/article.php?list=type&type=13> . Either way, the end result is that we turn our corporate adversaries into allies. And while logging companies may be able to tune out the protests of environmental groups, they can't ignore their largest customers -the corporations we work with, such as Staples, Home Depot, Estee Lauder and Dell -when they demand environmental reform. Whether it's by brokering agreements with logging companies or by negotiating legislated protection, the end result is that Endangered Forests are saved. To date, ForestEthics has protected over twelve million acres of Endangered Forest in British Columbia and Chile.

And while logging companies may be able to tune out the protests of environmental groups, they can't ignore their largest customers -the corporations we work with, such as Staples, Home Depot, Estee Lauder and Dell -when they demand environmental reform. Whether it's by brokering agreements with logging companies or by negotiating legislated protection, the end result is that Endangered Forests are saved. To date, ForestEthics has protected over twelve million acres of Endangered Forest in British Columbia and Chile.

About the requestor (from their web -site): About ForestEthics Founded in 1994, ForestEthics is a nonprofit environmental organization with staff in Canada, the United States and Chile. Our mission is to protect Endangered Forests, and to achieve that goal we've created a revolutionary new approach. The first step is determining which forests are Endangered Forests. We have staff members who live in the forests and work with scientists to define the areas that are most important to protect. We also work with First Nations to make sure their interests are represented—and that they receive funding to implement a viable, ecofriendly economy. 7/10/2008 • • Page 2 of 2 When we find that Endangered Forests are being destroyed, we determine which corporations are purchasing the products of that destruction.

Everything in the file is perhaps pertinent to their request. 1) Who contacts them to give them an estimate of number of copies and costs, payment, etc.? You or Tiffany? 2) Do you want physically review the two project files? 3) Does Tiffany do a count of all pages prior to your review of the hard files? 4) You write the cover response letter and Tiffany does the billing? 5) Do you have an SOP that we should follow?

Hi, Steve --thanks for sending this over. Please include a completed request for legal services form (attached) with these in the future. I'll submit this to Bruce for assignment to an attorney, but that will likely be me. If you would at this point just start identifying the documents that are responsive to the request, that would be good.

They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Soil Data Mart Web site or the NRCS Web Soil Survey. The Soil Data Mart is the data storage site for the official soil survey information.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas 7 Custom Soil Resource Report for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha - Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of • 0 Custom Soil Resource Report the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.

They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Soil Data Mart Web site or the NRCS Web Soil Survey. The Soil Data Mart is the data storage site for the official soil survey information.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability Custom Soil Resource Report of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical. or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and 0 0 Custom Soil Resource Report relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha - Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example. :7 Custom Soil Resource Report C, Butte Area, California, Parts of Butte and Plumas Counties 814—MOUNTYANA GRAVELLY LOAM, 2 TO 15 PERCENT SLOPES Map Unit Setting Elevation:

They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Soil Data Mart Web site or the NRCS Web Soil Survey. The Soil Data Mart is the data storage site for the official soil survey information.

They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity. Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA. The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape. Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries. Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the 4 0 9 Custom Soil Resource Report individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and research. While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil. Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date. After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately. 5 0 • Soil Map The soil map section includes the soil map for the defined area of interest, a list of soil map units on the map and extent of each map unit, and cartographic symbols displayed on the map.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, . however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially Custom Soil Resource Report where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha - Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example. 10 Custom Soil Resource Report Butte Area, California, Parts of Butte and Plumas Counties Version date:12/14/2007 8:28:36 AM 732—BONEPILE TAXADJUNCT, 2 TO 8 PERCENT SLOPES Map Unit Setting Elevation: 4,300 to 4,600 feet Mean annual precipitation: 69 to 75 inches Mean annual air temperature: 48 to 52 degrees F Frost -free period: 105 to 115 days Map Unit Composition Bonepile taxadjunct, duripan substratum, and similar soils: 90 percent Minor components: 10 percent Description of Bonepile Taxadjunct, Duripan Substratum Setting Landform: Mountains Landform position (two-dimensional): Toeslope Landform position (three-dimensional): Mountainbase Down-slope shape: Linear Across -slope shape: Linear Parent material., Gravelly over cemented gravelly alluvium derived from volcanic rock Properties and qualities Slope: 2 to 8 percent Surface area covered with cobbles, stones or boulders: 20.0 percent Depth to restrictive feature: 40 to 60 inches to duripan Drainage class: Moderately well drained Capacity of the most limiting layer to transmit water (Ksat): Moderately high to high (0.28 to 2.98 in/hr) Depth to water table: About 37 to 72 inches Frequency of flooding: None Frequency of ponding: None Available water capacity.

They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Soil Data Mart Web site or the NRCS Web Soil Survey. The Soil Data Mart is the data storage site for the official soil'survey information.

They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity. Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA. The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape. Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries. Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the 4 Custom Soil Resource Report individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and research. While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil. Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date. After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately. 0 • Soil Map The soil map section includes the soil map for the defined area of interest, a list of soil map units on the map and extent of each map unit, and cartographic symbols displayed on the map. Also presented are various metadata about data used to produce the map, and a description of each soil map unit. 0 MAP LEGEND Area of Interest (AOI) ryi Area of Interest (AOI) Soils Q Soil Map Units Special Point Features �.} Blowout ® Borrow Pit X Clay Spot .d?

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially 9 • 0 Custom Soil Resource Report where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha - Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example. 10 0 Custom Soil Resource Report Butte Area, California, Parts of Butte and Plumas Counties Version date:12/14/2007 8:28:36 AM 824—BEECEE VERY GRAVELLY MEDIAL LOAM, 30 TO 50 PERCENT SLOPES Map Unit Setting Elevation: 2,320 to 5,660 feet Mean annual precipitation: 66 to 80 inches Mean annual air temperature: 48 to 54 degrees F Frost -free period: 95 to 200 days Map Unit Composition Beecee, very gravelly medial loam, and similar soils: 85 percent Minor components: 15 percent Description of Beecee, Very Gravelly Medial Loam Setting Landform: Canyons Landform position (two-dimensional): Backslope Landform position (three-dimensional): Mountainflank Down-slope shape: Concave Across -slope shape: Concave Parent material: Tephra influenced gravelly loamy colluvium derived from volcanic rock over gravelly and stony loamy residuum weathered from volcanic breccia Properties and qualities Slope: 30 to 50 percent Surface area covered with cobbles, stones or boulders: 3.0 percent Depth to restrictive feature: More than 80 inches Drainage class: Well drained Capacity of the most limiting layer to transmit water (Ksat): Moderately high to high (0.38 to 2.27 in/hr) Depth to water table: More than 80 inches Frequency of flooding: None Frequency of ponding: None Available water capacity: Low (about 4.0 inches) Interpretive groups Land capability classification (irrigated): 6e Land capability (nonirrigated): 6e Typical profile 0 to 0 inches: Slightly decomposed plant material 0 to 1 inches: Moderately decomposed plant material 1 to 4 inches: Very gravelly medial loam 4 to 8 inches: Very gravelly medial loam 8 to 15 inches: Very gravelly medial loam 15 to 22 inches: Extremely gravelly medial loam 22 to 31 inches: Extremely gravelly loam 31 to 44 inches: Very gravelly loam 44 to 59 inches: Very gravelly loam 59 to 68 inches: Very gravelly loam 11 • 0 Custom Soil Resource Report 68 to 86 inches: Very stony loam Minor Components Schott Percent of map unit. 5 percent Landform: Canyons Lydon Percent of map unit: 5 percent Landform: Canyons Unnamed, bedrock less than 20 inches Percent of map unit: 3 percent Landform: Canyons Unnamed, extremely bouldery Percent of map unit: 2 percent Landform: Canyons 826—REDBONE GRAVELLY MEDIAL SANDY LOAM, 3 TO 15 PERCENT SLOPES Map Unit Setting Elevation: 3,800 to 5,200 feet Mean annual precipitation: 70 to 75 inches Mean annual air temperature: 50 to 52 degrees F Frost -free period: 100 to 140 days Map Unit Composition Redbone, gravelly medial sandy loam, and similar soils: 80 percent Minor components: 20 percent Description of Redbone, Gravelly Medial Sandy Loam Setting Landform: Ridges Landform position (two-dimensional): Summit Landform position (three-dimensional): Mountaintop Down-slope shape: Linear Across -slope shape: Linear Parent material.

They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Soil Data Mart Web site or the NRCS Web Soil Survey. The Soil Data Mart is the data storage site for the official soil survey information.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic Custom Soil Resource Report classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha - Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

gets OK for La� property rezoning - sacbee.com • Pagel of 3 e Tiefs'694q'TheSammmmBet This story is taken from Sacbee / News. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timber company gets OK for Lassen property rezoning By Jane Braxton Little - Bee Correspondent Published 12:00 am PDT Wednesday, June 11, 2008 SUSANVILLE - Sierra Pacific Industries won approval Tuesday to rezone about 5,500 acres in Lassen County now managed for timber production. The decision by the county supervisors is the latest action on the Anderson -based timber company's request to rezone more than 30,000 acres in five Northern California counties. It paves the way for Sierra Pacific, owner of 1.7 million acres of California timberlands, to request future rezones that eventually could allow development. With Lassen County's approval on 5,500 acres, Sierra Pacific has successfully withdrawn 18,839 acres from timberland production in Lassen, Sierra, Shasta and Trinity counties. A decision on 7,826 acres is pending in Plumas County. Company officials have no plans for putting housing on any of the rezoned lands in Northern California, said Cedric Twight, a Sierra Pacific forester. They have requested the rezonings to increase management options on properties in the rural counties, he said. "Our core mission is timber production, and it will continue to be timber production," Twight said. All Sierra Pacific lands requested for rezoning have been in timber production zones, a designation approved by the Legislature in 1976. In exchange for automatically renewable 10 -year commitments to limit activity to timber production, the company has enjoyed reduced property taxes. New zoning designations start a 10 -year countdown that ends the tax benefits and allows the company to use the land for residential or commercial development. At the end of the 10 years, county officials would have to decide on additional rezoning requests that permit development. In Lassen County, that could mean replacing forests with housing in the headwaters of several sensitive streams, the spawning grounds for Eagle Lake trout and next to a U.S. Forest Service wilderness area, said Steve Robinson, executive director of Mountain Meadows Conservancy, a conservation group based in Westwood. Along with providing a significant source of water for the rest of the state, these timberlands store carbon dioxide at a time when greenhouse gases are contributing to global warming, he mhtml:file://G:\PROJECTS\REZ PUD\SIERRA PACIFIC IND REZ08-0002\Background... 8/11/2008 Timber company gets OK for Laproperty rezoning - sacbee.com Page 2 of 3 0 6 0 said. "This is a 10 -year plan to develop those properties and thereby lose productive timberlands. ... You are dealing with areas of significant value to the people of California," Robinson told the supervisors. Bill Abbott, a Susanville attorney representing Sierra Pacific, argued against speculation that "something is lurking out there.... The opposition presupposes a development scenario that doesn't exist." Adopting the company's rezoning request from timber production to agricultural forest will not change the land use. "It positions a future Board of Supervisors with a broader range of options, with no commitment now to change the zone again in 10 years," Abbott said. The supervisors' split decision to adopt agricultural forest zoning for four separate parcels overturns a county Planning Commission recommendation to deny the changes. Supervisor Jim Chapman cast the Ione no vote. In Shasta County, Sierra Pacific requested rezoning of 6,377 acres of timberlands. The supervisors approved a change to a timber land for 2,719 acres in July. Most of the land is in the Shingletown area where about 30 residences already have been built, said associate county planner Lio Salazar. The Shasta County supervisors denied a rezone for 3,724 acres of timberlands. Trinity County officials last year rezoned 3,620 acres, much of it in the Trinity Lake area. Sierra Pacific originally requested rezoning for parcels as small as 1 acre. The planning commissioners changed the zoning from timber production to open space, which does not allow development. In Sierra County, the supervisors in March rezoned 7,000 acres of Sierra Pacific timberlands near Webber Lake from timber production to general forest, which allows some houses. The area is currently not inhabited, according to planning department officials. Plumas County planners are developing a new zoning designation to accommodate Sierra Pacific's request to remove 7,826 acres of timberlands from its 10 -year contract. The proposed timber forestry zone would not change the parcel sizes or permitted uses, but it would separate the land use issues from the contract issues, said Jim Graham, interim assistant planning director. "Timber companies are interested in starting the clock. They can't do anything without that," he said. The Sierra Pacific rezone requests come at a time when the nation is losing more than a million acres of timberlands annually. By 2050, forests that now cover an area larger Maine will be converted to some form of development, according to a Forest Service study.

Those pages that Public Works staff found illegible are attached. If Public Works continues to find those pages illegible please have them contact me in order to arrange a meeting where we can go through the documents together. I found the pages requested difficult to read but not illegible so together I think these documents can be deciphered. Attached find a check for $925.20 = 12 Assessor Parcels X $77.10 Public Works fee. Regarding the Butte Meadows Subdivisions 1 & 2, it is our contention that both maps are valid given that they were both adopted by the Board of Supervisors at the time of recording. In the case of Butte Meadows No. 1, the Tehama County Board of Supervisors signed the map and in the case of Butte Meadows No. 2, the Butte County Board of Supervisors signed the map. Large copies of these recorded documents have been attached. Also note that individual lots are referenced and in some old Grant Deeds particularly Bk. 228 pg 359 & 360 in the year 1927 and Bk..146 Pg 476 in the year 1913. Certainly there are difficulties with the these maps conforming to the current development standards of Butte County due to their size, however Sierra Pacific Industries is willing to work with Butte County to overcome those issues. 3) The legal description for the "Butte Meadows" parcels has been attached. The descriptions are the from the title insurance policy attached to the Grant Deed, which gave Sierra Pacific Industries ownership of this land. n • 4) Steve Troester has indicated that he has created a suitable plat map of the subject parcels. 5) & 6) The cleaner copies of the Deeds and the additional documentation for the SE % of the SE'/4 of section 20, which are attached, should provide enough information to determine the total number of legal parcels within the rezone area. I have also attached a copy of the Map that created Stirling City for your convenience. I hope that all of this information will allow the rezone application to proceed smoothly. Please forward the attached map and deed information to Stewart Edell in the Public Works Department. Please contact me immediately if you require additional information.

DWR'S CALIFORNIA WATER NEWS: WATERSHEDS - 5/29/08 Department of Water Resources California Water News A daily compilation of significant news articles and comment May 29, 2008 3. Watersheds — History Repeating Itself in the South Yuba Canyon? Published on May 28, 2008 - 9:02:39 AM Yubanet — 5/28/08 By: Jason Rainey, Executive Director, SYRCL - Don Rivenes, Acting Executive Director, Forest Issues Group - GB Tucker, Chair, Sierra Nevada Group of the Sierra Club NEVADA CITY, Calif. May 28, 2008 --'The history of "resource use" in the Yuba watershed is rife with conflicts, yet when our community is functioning at its best - through rigorous public debate leading to civil discourse about the kind of future we want to leave for future generations, enduring solutions can often be realized. In the 1980s and 1990s, proposed dams by a number of agencies and power companies would have drown much of our beloved South Yuba canyon in a series of narrow and deep reservoirs. SYRCL mobilized this community for the successful passage of state Wild & Scenic protection for 39'miles of the South.Yuba River, which went into law in 2001 and effectively ended the threat of new dams, ushering in an era of coordinated management of the public lands within the South Yuba corridor. Just one year later, a, 5/29/2008 • • Page 2 of 3 new threat arose in the canyon - a proposed clearcut of hundreds of acres of canyon lands in the Wild & Scenic corridor by Sierra Pacific Industries. SPI is the largest private landowner in California, and the owner of much of the private "checkerboard" of forest parcels in the Yuba watershed that the federal government originally gave away as a feature of bringing the Central Pacific Railroad over the Sierra crest. Undaunted by the size and power of this timber company, a group of local activists assembled as the "Yuba Nation" and adopted direct action tactics to bring this proposed logging plan into public view. In the end, SYRCL and the Trust for Public Land brokered a deal that halted the logging plan and transferred over 700 acres of SPI land into the South Yuba River State Parks system. SPI is at it again - this time the proposed logging plan is adjacent to Malakoff Diggins State Park, 570 acres that sweeps down into the South Yuba canyon and overlaps with the popular Humbug Creek and Missouri Bar trails. Local groups such as the Forest Issues Group and the Sierra Nevada Group of the Sierra Club have filed comments critical of SPI's "Timber Harvest Plan," which prescribes clear cut logging and "special treatments" adjacent to the Park boundary and a number of streams and creeks that feed the South Yuba River. In total, nearly two-thirds of this acreage would be heavily logged. The California Department of Forestry, the agency responsible for approving logging plans on private lands, sent the proposed "Buck Timber Harvest Plan" back to SPI for revisions. This has provided another opportunity for the public to comment on this logging plan, and anyone interested in protecting water quality, forest health and recreational opportunities along the South Yuba River should sound in. SYRCL is joining with the local forest protection groups that have been actively following this plan, and we all encourage our members to weigh in as private citizens. Humbug Creek is already listed as an "impaired waterbody" through the Clean Water Act due to mercury contamination and sedimentation (the combination of pollutants that turns our Yuba into a serpentine green sheen during some storm and run off events) - the SPI plan would log trees close to this creek, as well as expose soils on 140 acres of land through antiquated clear cut practices and other equivalent "treatments." SPI also acknowledges that the parcel is home to populations of Foothill Yellow -legged frogs, a California Species of Concern. Is there not a better public value for this land that is bordered by State Parks, the Tahoe National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management - all agencies that are signatories to the South Yuba River Comprehensive Management Plan, which articulates goals of protecting watershed lands, enhancing public recreational opportunities, and protecting water quality? According to the logging plan, SPI rejects the notion that this parcel would have any value to the public. As with many conflicts regarding the rights and responsibilities of private property owners, and the values and services of natural resources held by the public "commons," a 5/29/2008 Page 3 of 3 mutually agreeable solution likely exists. However, the first step toward a sustainable and balanced solution requires the public to articulate those values and services. To learn about the natural resources and ecological services that groups such as SYRCL, Forest Issues Group and the Sierra Club are committed to defending -and to learn how you can take action -visit yubariver.= for more background and for sample letters.

As the State Agency with the responsibility for protection the State's timberland resources we are concerned with the erosion of the timberland base and the loss of habitat and watershed values. We are also concerned with the complications placed upon firefighters in dealing with residences in the wildlands. Obviously, with the ten year roll out, the State's discretion on these matters is limited compared with our role in immediate rezoning; however we are concerned none the less. While the rezoning may be viewed as a benign change we are relatively certain that once ten years have elapsed, further rezoning and parcelization will occur, including subdivision development. So, this is the first step in a long process toward further development. We believe this should be recognized and disclosed in any CEQA analysis that occurs. Add to that the potential for regional cumulative impacts associated with close to 40,000 acres of similar rezoning occurring in the region.

It is scheduled to go before the Planning Commission on July 17, 2008 for a recommendation to the Board. Stacey had mentioned, 6/19/2008 SPI TPZ Rezone . 0 Page 2 of 3 cummulative impacts as an issue. I don't see it. Perhaps she can explain. The rezone does nothing except allow for the establishment of one dwelling unit on each of the seven parcels. I don't see this as a significant impact. Especially in light of all the harvesting and road constructions activities already allowed. The only comment that I have received requiring mitigations is from the Northeast Center of the California Historical Resources Information System. They want a Phase I Study. I will require that the Study be done prior to the Rezoning taking effect, ten years from now. The Rezoning to NR; Natural Resource and Recreation District to take effect in 2018 would allow for division to 40 acre parcels and would allow for one dwelling unit per parcel created. The TPZ; Timber Production Zoning District allows for the creation of parcels of 160 acres. Dwellings would be allowed if compatible with the Timber Management Plan. While the applicant has not indicated that division is in their plans, there is no way of knowing that wouldn't happen. Future possible division proposals would require additional CEQA review and closer scrutiny as to what the possible impacts may be at the time the project is presented.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This an application to rezone approximately 3, 340 acres (consisting of 11 APNs) from TPZ-160 Timber Preserve Zone 160 -acre parcel size to TM -160 Timber Mountain 160 -acre parcel size. The land is composed of two sites; one of 1,661 acres (5 APNs) just north of the community of Butte Meadows, and one +/-1,679-acre portion (6 APNs) immediately surrounding and to the southwest of the community of Sterling City. Per State Code 51120, if approved by the County, the new zoning designation would not become effective for ten years. The applicant, Sierra Pacific Ind. States that it intends to continue timber production operations on this land. The TM -160 zone would allow for a much broader range of uses. The number of underlying developable parcels within the 11 APNs is unknown. Applicant was informed that they will need to provide creation documents for the parcels. Given the +/-12- mile separation between the two sites, separate applications may need to be processed. Applicant has provided full NRCS soils information on file in DDS project file. The TM -160 zone allows for one primary and one permanent second dwelling per parcel, as well as other uses by Use Permit.

Given the +/-12- mile separation between the two sites, separate applications may need to be processed. Applicant has provided full NRCS soils information on file in DDS project file. The TM -160 zone allows for one primary and one permanent second dwelling per parcel, as well as other uses by Use Permit. I will need to go through our paper files and have the applications and maps scanned. Can I get them to you next week (I have public meetings tomorrow and Friday); will that work for your deadlines? You might also be interested to know, if you don't already, that SPI also has rezone applications for TPZ land at Tehama County. Bob Halpin and I have been exchanging email and phone messages, but haven't had a chance to chat about it yet. Bob, would you send each of us application, maps, and project description of what SPI is proposing in Tehama and I will do the same for Butte? Interesting. I appreciate the chance to share information with you both.

Once you have the complete application we have always used the timeframes under the permit streamlining. The 120 day decision cannot trump environmental review although we are in the middle of major controversy over a long term rezoning proposed by SPI to a zone that is more restrictive both from the minimum parcel size as well as permitted or conditional uses. We exempted the rezoning and we have a number of environmental interests claiming that we have an obligation for a more thorough review. Our problem is that projecting out 10 years is mere speculation. Bill Abbott represented SPI and I have a written argument from him on their behalf dealing with this question. If you want it let me know and I can scan and e-mail it to you. On your question, I certainly think you are safe with your suggested timeframe of the 120 day scenario is after the CEQA review is complete... otherwise you will get boxed in.

Chuck Thistlethwaite gave me your name as someone who might be able to help out with a question regarding TPZ's. Specifically, the timeframes pursuant to Gov't code section 51120(b) specify that decisions need to be made within 120 days of written receipt. Does that timeframe commence after completion of the CEQA doc, as per the permit streamlining act? Or when doe sit commence? I do not have a complete application yet.

Every development project which requires a discretionary governmental approval will require at least some environmental review pursuant to CEQA, unless an exemption applies. The environmental review required imposes both procedural and substantive requirements. At a minimum, an initial review of the project and its environmental effects must be conducted. Depending upon the potential effects, a further and more substantial review may be conducted in the form of an environmental impact report (EIR). A project may not be approved if feasible alternatives or mitigation measures cannot substantially lessen the significant environmental effects of the project. At the state level, CEQA requires that public agencies consider the effects of their actions on historical resources eligible for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources. "Historical resource" refers to buildings, structures, sites (prehistoric and historic), objects, districts, and all manner of properties containing material remains of past human life or activity. The Department of Development Services utilizes the Northeast Information Center (NEIC) of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) to identify projects that may have archaeological significance. The CHRIS is a statewide system for managing information on the full range of historical resources identified in California. This system is under the authority and direction of the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and the State Historical Resources Commission (SHRC). The Northeast Center of the CHRIS system, located at California State University, Chico, manages the historical resource records for 11 counties, including Butte County. The Northeast Information Center will furnish a Record Search to Development Services indicating the archaeological/historical significance and sensitivity of the applicant's project area and additionally providing a recommendation as to whether further archaeological survey is warranted. If further archaeological survey is required, the application would be considered incomplete until the appropriate archaeological survey is completed and reviewed. The Department of Development Services will forward applicant's payment (by check) of $75.00 and relevant project application information required for the Records Search to NEIC. NEIC will provide the results of the Records Search to Development Services. Development Services will notify the applicant if further archaeological survey is warranted. The $75.00 fee does not cover the cost of further archaeological survey work. If further archaeological survey work is required, Development Services will work with the applicant to see that it is accomplished, according to set standards, by a qualified archaeologist. The applicant shall bear all costs associated with further archaeological survey work required to continue processing of the planning project application. THIS FORM MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A COPY OF A 7.5' TOPO MAP, WITH THE PROJECT AREA OUTLINED. THIS IS USED DURING THE REVIEW TO RESEARCH CULTURAL SITES. The undersigned applicant for the project as identified below has read and understood the Butte County Archaeological Resources Project Review process and agrees to fund the required Record Search to be provided by NEIC. Attached is a check for $75.00 made payable to the Northeast Information Center for NEIC to perform the Records Search. Failure of payment to NEIC for this Records Search would result in the planning project application to be considered incomplete until payment of the $75.00 Records Search fee along with any related fees associated with non-payment (returned check charges, etc.) paid in full to NEIC.
