Chico Meleka, Apparently your office has a project or at least an application for a project for 299 lots with expectations to develope using community sewage and water. I've talked to the applicant and engineer (Mann and Gilbertson). They acknowledge that they did not talk to me about this project specifically but referenced a conversation regarding a similar type project south of Chico in which I told them that their proposal most certainly would require Regional Board involvement and Discharge Permit. From that conversation they deduced and properly so that the Regional Board would be the primary agency for waste water disposal. Therefore on this project they wish to jump immediately to them for approval. However the Regional Board will insist that they first complete CEQUA planning requirements before they will consider accepting their application as complete. That is our business and we probably should not defer that assuming the Regional Board will eventually approve their waste water system whatever that turns out to be. Previous projects in the county in which we knew that the applicant would probably have problems meeting our improvement standards for subdivision were handled by very close relationships between the Regional Board and count! staff so that we knew or were told by the Board that they were willing to give "conceptual" approval of a project by the time the map was scheduled to be heard by the county (conditions). Lately however the Board has been less likely to do that sort of concept approval until there application for waste discharge is complete (in essence an acceptable plan). In addition, they have also indicated that they will no longer consider options such as chlorination of effluent to mitigate distance to ground water (perched water). So they may no longer approve any subsurface discharge if the applicant can not stay five feet above the highest ground water elevation with sewage disposal trench bottoms. The area where this project is proposed is subject to perched ground water tables in the winter and even periodic sheet flow type flooding during particularly heavy rain fall events. It would not be an area I would feel comfortable assuming that a usable leach area could be found for certain somewhere. In fact I would be more certain that an acceptable area might be entirely lacking. That would leave one option for them (assuming they don't want to put in a new sewer trunk line extension), winter storage of septage effluent and summer irrigation. This most certainly would be in the realm of the Regional Board. That type of system will probably fall into Title 22 requirements which governs the use of waste water for secondary purposes (eg., irrigation, industrial etc.). Those reg's are formitable. This is a project that will have the potential to significantly effect the area in many ways eg., water quality, infrastructure demands, storm water drainage, traffic etc. It is not a project that can be validated or dismissed from our requirements with a simple waiver of soil data letter. In fact we will strongly push for an EIR to be completed for our concerns. With that said we also do not wish to hold the application up but instead recommend continuing with the process in order to let the applicant find out all of the hurdles ahead of them. I did talk to them and they are aware of the problems involved with onsite sewage disposal on that property. We will comment on the project when it is circulated to this office.

Please advise at your earliest convenience. This application for a GPA/RZ was applied for in 2002 to re-designate/rezone two parcels from Agriculture to SR 'h on 396.5 acres and C-2 on 54 acres_, located north and west of Meridian Road and east of SR99, north of the City of Chico. A TSM, also from 2002, would allow the development of a golf course and 298 residential lots. General Plan203O confirms the Agricultural land use designation on these properties and proposed zoning is AG -160. These 'Ralph Ranch' properties are NOT within the planning area of Chico's'General Plan Land Use Map. Here's the link: http://www.ci.chico.ca.us/document library/general plan/documents/3. Land UseElement.pdf Besides land use and wetland issues, a letter from Jim Mann dated July 2, 2009 regarding the' project (attached) also mentions the need for alternative wastewater treatment as is currently being worked on by EH. If we do not attempt to take the project forward given the General Plan land use conflict, completion of the County's wastewater ordinance may shift focus to the practicality of that system, rather than the overall land use question. While it may never be a good time to deny a project with strong applicant opposition, it may never be a better time to stand behind our GP land use designations, given the recent adoption of the Chico GP. Again, please advise at your earliest convenience. vo -F NAMW 20100710Lettert )]Mann.pdf (40 ..

No 047-100-190) Dear Jim, Thank you for your letter of July 2, 2009 keeping the ' Department of Development Services apprised of the ongoing progress of the Clover Creek Project. I would. like to take this opportunity to inform you as to how the ongoing Butte County .General =Plan 2030 process may affect this project. As you know, the current General Plan .designations on the.project site are Agricultural Residential (AR) for the northern portion, and Grazing and Open Lands (GOL) for the southern portion. The subject property is currently zoned A-40 (Agriculture — 40 -acre minimum). The Preferred Land Use Alternative for this property as identified to date by the General Plan 2030 process is a designation of "Agriculture" and would likely retain a zoning classification to what is currently on, the property. At this time, it -does not appear that the General Plan -2030 land use and zoning designations for the subject property will be consistent with the proposed project. -In addition, your letter references • the County's ongoing process of developing -a Community Wastewater Treatment System Ordinance. It is expected that this ordinance would be considered by =the Board of Supervisors in December 2010, shortly after adoption of the General Plan 2030, zoning code and Environmental Impact Report. At this time, the scope of the proposed ordinance is limited to areas of the County identified by the General Plan 2030 -Preferred Land Use Alternative for urban level development outside the Spheres of Influence for Butte County's five municipalities. Thus, in its current form the proposed ordinance would not specifically allow use of a community wastewater treatment system for the Clover Creek Project. It is important to keep in mind that the both the proposed General Plan 2030 designations and Community Wastewater Treatment System Ordinance are drafts reflecting direction given to date. 6 r Both General Plan 2030 and the proposed wastewater ordinance will have opportunities for public participation and comment over the next 13 and 17 months, respectively. Please do not hesitate to contact Principal Planner Stacey Jolliffe (530-538-6573 or sjolliffe@buttecounty.net) or myself (530-538-6572 or cthistlethwaite@buttecounty.net) with any questions regarding the applications for the Clover Creek project, or Principal Planner Dan Breedon (530-538-7629 or dbreedon@buttecounty.net) with any questions regarding the General Plan 2030 process. We are also available to meet with you to discuss these issues further. Sincerely, Charles S. Thistlethwaite, AICP Planning Manager Cc: William E.

Wes Gilbert, our engineer has installed water monitoring wells over the past 4 years and coordinated this work with Butte County Environmental Health Department. Unfortunately as you know we have not experienced normal rainfall activity for adequate monitoring. We have been discussing the retention of a Registered Hydro Geologist to work with the information we have been able to develop. Progress albeit slow on this project due to awaiting the completion of the Butte County (updated) General Plan.and (hopefully) the -.opportunity, for.ponding.oftreated affluent. I am sure you are aware of some of the: most exclusive real. estate in California, (arid the entire world) use of this type of alternative wastewater treatment. Subsequent use of treated, chlorinated/dechlorinated water will be used on public areas, the golf course, etc. This is important for the Clover Creek Project's Proposed Golf Course. We are hopeful that Butte County knowledge of our dilemma with water will embrace this opportunity to preserve ground water using wastewater package plant modern technology. We have retained the firm of ECO:LOGIC Consulting Engineers in Rocklin to work on this part of the project. ECO:LOGIC specializes in wastewater issues and has years of success in this area of expertise. Additionally we have engaged Foothill Environmental (Dr. Ken.Whitney) to delineate the site. and we have received verification from the US Army Corps of Engineers. Soil Analysis, golf course architecture, and a lot of planning have gone into Mr. Bill Ralph's project and we look forward to moving ahead sometime in early 2010. We wanted to., give you.a brief overview of progress to date but.wanted to let you.know.we have continued doing work on the project since first filing with Butte County several years ago.

The County's original letter concerning the incompleteness of this project is still applicable. It appears you are looking for further clarification concerning aspects of this letter. I have reviewed the statements you make regarding comments from the Environmental Health Division, Department of Public Works, Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control, Cal Water, CDFButte County Fire, and the City of Chico and concur with the conclusions you present. I have provided some further elaboration on several subject areas below. Environmental Health Division Requirements If you have not already done so, an application for Waste Discharge should be applied for. with the Regional Water Quality Control Board concerning the Community Sewage Disposal Area. You should discuss this process with the Environmental Health Division. You should also be aware that the County prohibits the storage of effluent water in ponds pursuant to County Resolution 87-108. I General Plan Policy The information concerning County General Plan policy was included because the requested General Plan Amendment and Rezone is a legislative act. General Plan policy must be used in providing recommendations to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors concerning these projects. The information concerning the County's General Plan policy was included for your information and it is not considered an issue of project completeness. You should know, however, that these policy issues will be analyzed by staff in future reports to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. As I indicated in my previous letter this project does not appear to comply with General Plan policy that requires projects be provided with appropriate levels of services, and locating urban type development in areas of the county that provide for the logical extension of services. Environmental Review and Biological Studies Biological surveys are required because of the possibility of significant environmental impact due to the known presence of vernal pools -in the.subject area, according to the Department of Fish and Game's Natural Diversity Data Base. The area is also known to be habitat for birds of prey (raptors). These studies are not required as part of the completeness of the project application. You should know, however, that these studies will be required as part of the subsequent environmental review process. Proposed Golf Course and PUD I agree that a golf course could be incorporated into the project through the use of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) pursuant to Butte County Code Section 24-210. With regard to your request concerning the Agricultural Residential and Low Density Residential General Plan designations, both designations allow outdoor recreation facilities such as golf courses. The minimum parcel size for the Agricultural Residential General Plan designation is 1 (one) to 40 (forty) acres. The Low Density Residential General Plan designation allows net parcel sizes of 1 (one) acre to 6,500 square feet. In accordance with Section 24-210, the residential land use density of any Planned Unit Development zone cannot exceed that allowed by the Butte County General Plan designation for the proposed site. Because the processing of a PUD is much different than what is currently being proposed, staff would require a new application if you wish to pursue a PUD. The GPA%RZ application could be amended to reflect the requested General Plan Amendment. Pedestrian and Bike Paths I concur that Section 20-140 and 20-141 indicates that dedications of pedestrian and bicycle paths may be required. I do not consider this an issue of completeness unless 1 these types of facilities will be used to connect dead-end roads or provide access to public facilities (schools, parks etc.). If you are planning such facilities it would be beneficial for.them to be shown on the tentative map or future PUD so that County decision makers and staff will have an opportunity to see what is proposed. Changes to their ultimate lay- out can always be modified in consultation with County staff. I hope that this information helps to clarify the points from the original letter and answer the questions you set forth. Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me at 538-7629.'

In reviewing your letter of February 21, 2002, I have some questions regarding what information is required to make the application complete as the letter does not contain a specific list but references comment letters from other agencies. This makes it somewhat difficult to determine exactly what is required. It also appears that some of the information being requested is not listed in the County's application packet as .being required for a complete application and might be more appropriately requested as part of the environmental review process. I am going to attempt to list the items that I think you need to complete this application and would ask that you review it and let me know it's what is needed and fill in anything that may have been overlooked. Environmental Health A "vJii-serve ic�ie�' it cirri %ai W ai:ec • A facility location and disposal solution for treated wastewater • A method for maintaining the wastewater system Public Works, • Re -design the circulation to meet County requirements • Provide a preliminary design for drainage ,r • August 19, 2004 RALPH RANCH (CLOVER CREEK) PROJECT Page 2 Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control r • It appears that no additional information is required for completeness for this entity. They will submit their comments when the environmental document is circulated. Cal Water • We propose to install adequate water facilities including well(s) and water storage to meet Cal Water requirements. CDF/Butte County Fire • Re -design subdivision to meet cul-de-sac length requirements City of Chico The City's comment s appear to pertain to environmental and policy issues and would not be relevant to completeness information. The City would not have any authority for requiring information to make an application complete. Since the County did not find the environmental information form lacking we would presume than no additional information is necessary. Other Considerations With regard to the golf course, it appears that a rezone to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) would address the Use Permit issue, as it would be covered under the PUD Master Plan thereby not requiring a Use Permit. Could this application be amended to propose a General Plan designation of Agricultural Residential rather than Low Density Residential and a zoning of PUD without being considered a new application? It appears that these two designations would suit the project better. The double frontage lots designswill be addressed in a revised map. Parkland dedications or in -lieu fees will be paid. Your letter states that Butte County Code Sections 20-140 and 141 requires the dedication of bicycle and pedestrian ways. As I read the sections the code states that bicycle and pedestrian paths may be required to be dedicated. If paths are desired, we are willing to work with the County to come up with appropriate locations. This, however, is not a requirement to make the application complete.. �r August 19, 2004 RALPH RANCH (CLOVER CREEK) PROJECT Page 3 Your letter also makes reference to several studies including wetlands delineation, rare plant survey, animal and bird species survey, as well as a traffic study. It is unclear if these are being requested as part of the completeness requirements or will be needed for the environmental documentation. If they are required for completeness, please provide me with a copy of the County application form(s) that specifically requires these studies.

COMMENTS ON A DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR RALPH . RANCH/GREEN ACRES, GPA/RZ 02-03, BUTTE COUNTY A project application has been submitted involving the rezoning and subdivision of two parcels of land northeast of Chico at the intersection of State Route 99 and Meridian Road. Both parcels are currently zoned A-40 for grazing on open lands with a minimum parcel size of 40 acres. The proposed use of the site is "single-family residential, 18 -hole golf course, and highway commercial." Under the, plan, Parcel A, 396.55 acres, is intended for single family residential housing. Parcel B, 54.08 acres, will be developed for commercial purposes. According to a description provided by Butte County, the development will have community water and a sewage collection system with a centralized treatment and disposal facility. Cal Water is to provide drinking water; streets, storm drainage facilities, streetlights, and -sewage handling and treatment facilities will be owned and maintained by a, homeowners' association. 'A Butte County internal memo included in the package states that, in the County's opinion, little if any of the property is likely suitable for subsurface sewage disposal, due to high groundwater and periodic sheet flow. The memo also recommends that an Environmental Impact Report be prepared, as opposed to a Negative Declaration. Based on our review of the application, we have the following comments: 1. The environmental document developed for this project should describe and discuss in detail: a. site conditions (e.g., groundwater depth, soil types, etc.) that may influence sewage disposal; b. water quality issues pertinent to the proposed discharge of treated sewage at the site; and c. how site conditions and water quality issues will be addressed in the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of a sewage treatment and disposal system. 2. In addressing the comment above, the project proponent should request from this office an application for waste discharge requirements. The application packet includes, a,detailed listing of needed information. i California Environmental Protection Agency 0 Recycled Paper The energy challenge facing California is real. Every Californian needs to take immediate action to reduce energy consumption. For a list of simple ways you can reduce demand and cut your energy costs, see our Web -site at http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/ Dan Breedon • - 2 - • 22 February 2002 3. For a project of this size, a public entity, such as a community services district, is preferable to a homeowner's association. A homeowners' association should be a last resort; for example, after formation of a public entity has been found infeasible. 4. Other situations that may require permits and certifications in addition to waste discharge requirements and that must be comprehensively addressed in the environmental review process are explained below. Wetlands and/or stream course alteration — The project proponent may need to apply for a Clean Water Act Section 404 permit (§404 permit) from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A §404 permit is required for activities involving a discharge of dredged or fill material to waters of the United States. "Waters of the United States" include wetlands, riparian zones, streambeds, rivers, lakes and oceans. The Army Corps of Engineers Butte County contact for §404 permits is Mr. Matt Kelly, (916) 557-7724. Projects requiring a §404 permit also require a water quality certification (pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act) verifying that the project does not violate State water quality standards. A water quality certification is required for any project that impacts water of the State (such as streams and wetlands). Activities that fall under the water quality certification process include, but are not limited to: stream crossings, the modification of stream banks or stream courses, and the filling or modification of wetlands. A water quality certification must be obtained prior to construction. Failure to obtain a water quality certification, when required, may result in enforcement action. The Regional Board Contact for water quality certifications is Scott A. Zaitz, who can be reached at the letterhead address or by telephoning (530) 224- 4784. Industrial storm water — The USEPA on 16 November 1990 promulgated storm water regulations (40 CFR Parts 122, 123 & 124) which require specific categories of industrial facilities discharging storm water to obtain NPDES permits and to implement Best Available Technology Economically Achievable (BAT) and Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology (BCT) to reduce or eliminate industrial storm water pollution. Industrial operations categorized under certain Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes must be covered by a General hermit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Industrial Activities. To obtain coverage under the General Permit the applicant must submit a completed Notice of Intent form, site map, and a filing fee of $500 to State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Water Quality, Attn: Storm Water Unit, P.O. Box 1977, Sacramento, CA 95812-1977. An application package is available at the Redding office of the Regional Board (see letterhead for contact information). Construction storm water - A Construction Activities Storm Water Permit is required for storm water discharges associated with a construction activity where clearing, grading, and excavation result in a land disturbance of five acres or more. Storm water discharges from construction activity that results in a land disturbance of less than five acres, but which is part of a larger common plan development of five acres or more, also requires a construction storm water permit. A construction storm water permit must be obtained prior to construction. Failure to obtain a construction storm water permit, when required, may result in enforcement action. Construction storm water permits can be obtained from our office at the letterhead address or by telephoning Scott A. Zaitz at (530) 224-4784. Dan Breedon • - 3 - • 22 February 2002 Dewatering - A dewatering permit, General Order for Dewatering and Other Low Threat Discharges to Surface Waters, may be required for construction activities. This general NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit covers the discharge to waters of the United States of clean or relatively pollutant -free wastewater that poses little or no threat to water quality. The following categories are covered by the dewatering permit: well development water; construction dewatering; pump/well testing; pipeline/tank pressure testing; pipeline/tank flushing or dewatering; condensate discharges; water supply system discharges; miscellaneous dewatering/low threat discharges. The dewatering permit applies only to direct discharges to waters of the United States. Failure to obtain a dewatering permit, when required, may result in enforcement action. An application form and a copy of the permit are available at this office. If you have any questions, please contact me at. (530) 224-3249 or the letterhead address. Ray Bruun, P.E.

The proposed 1450.63 -acre subdivision would create 298 single-family residential lots on 397 acres, and a golf course on 54 acres. Three new roads to the subdivision would provide access from the north side of Meridian Road, east of State Route (SR-) 99. Specific areas of concern are as follows: Traffic O erations Presently, SR -99 in the project area (PM 40.84-41.48) is a portion of a 2 -lane conventional highway facility. According to the current Caltrans SR -99 Transportation Concept Report, within this segment of highway, from the north boundary of Chico to the Butte/Tehama County line, a 4 -lane expressway will be needed eventually to relieve predicted localized future congestion. However, the analysis did not take into account the Ralph Ranch proposal, and additional capacity improvements to this segment may be necessary to avoid significant congestion within the 20 -year planning period. Additional right of way may also need to be dedicated to accommodate the future facility. A traffic impact study should be prepared as a part of the Environmental Impact Report to analyze potential impacts and appropriate mitigation measures.

A copy of the Guidelines can be viewed and downloaded from this website: httn://issc.dot.ca.gov/trafons/dvsry/tisguide pdf. This project could have significant impacts at the SR-99/Meridian Road intersection. The current configuration will likely need to be upgraded to accommodate additional turning movements and capacity. Caltrans is currently designing a SHOPP and HA -22 project (EA 33870) along the total frontage of the subject parcel. The District 3 Project Management staff will need to be consulted for potential conflicts between our project and any proposed specific improvements required for the subdivision. The project should also be required to contribute fair share mitigation fees to compensate for cumulative traffic impacts on the regional road systems. Hydraulics 1. Surface water (stormwater) runoff from the existing 450 +/- acre agricultural site drains to the southwest toward SR -99. The proposed project will substantially increase the impervious surface area in the form of residential roadways, homes, driveways, etc. resulting in a significant decrease in stormwater retention and infiltration area. Existing drainage pathways, which currently meander through the project site in unimproved channels, will likely be improved and possibly redirected. Care must be taken during design and construction to insure site improvements do not adversely effect stormwater drainage at SR -99. 2. Runoff from the proposed project that will enter the State's highway right of way and/or Caltrans drainage facilities, whether discharged directly or indirectly, must meet all Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) water quality standards prior to entering the State's highway right of way or Caltrans drainage facilities. The developer is responsible for insuring that runoff from the site meets these clean water standards (i.e., is free of oils, greases, metals, sands, sediment, etc.). This may be accomplished through the implementation of appropriate stormwater quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) (Le,, oil/water separators, clarifiers, infiltration systems, etc.) as applicable. Once installed, the property owner must properly maintain these systems. 3. No net increase to the surface water (stormwater) peak runoff discharge (100 year storm event) may be realized within the State's highway right of way and Caltrans drainage facilities as a result of the completion of the project. The developer is responsible for ensuring that stormwater runoff discharge from the project site that will enter the State's right of way and/or Caltrans drainage facilities, whether discharged directly or indirectly, does not increase peak flows within the State's highway right of way or the Caltrans drainage facility. This may be accomplished through the implementation of stormwater management BMPs (i.e.. detention/retention ponds or basins, sub -surface -Caltrans OTW& es mobQ(ty wross Cai{fomw FEB -25-2002 09:18 CALTRANS DIST 03 SAC T 916 323 7669 P.04iO4 .r!euxuaiy ai, wv� Page 3 • gallerles, on-site storage and/or infiltration ditches, etc.) as applicable. Once installed, the property owner must properly maintain these systems. 4. The proponent/developer must perpetuate, maintain or improve existing drainage patterns and/or facilities affected by the proposed development/project to the satisfaction of the State and Caltrans. This includes, but is not limited to, altering stormwater pathways and storage areas, whether engineered or naturally occurring. Altering existing drainage patterns and/or facilities without proper mitigation may lead to adverse drainage impacts to State highway facilities or to other local public or private properties. The proponent/developer may be held liable for future damages caused by diverted or increased drainage flows determined to be the result of the proposed development/project that were not properly mitigated for. 5. No detailed drainage plans. drawings or calculations were received with the IGR-CEQA project package. Likewise, no hydrologic/hydraulic study or report was received with the package. To adequately evaluate project impacts upon the State's right of way and Caltrans drainage facilities, the aforementioned documents are required. The Plans will need to show both the "pre - construction" coverage quantities for buildings, streets, parking, etc. and "post - construction" coverage quantities. Please request these documents from the project proponent and send them to District 3 Hydraulics in Marysville for review prior to final project approval. 6. The cumulative effects of development within the project area will result in a significant increase to the impervious surface area while greatly decreasing available area for runoff detention and infiltration. Close attention should be paid to these cumulative effects to avoid over development of the basin. Caltrans is also concerned that impacts to sensitive resources adjacent to the right of way, such as vernal pools and other wetlands, could affect highway facilities, resources that are contained within our right of way and the motorists' viewshed. We encourage the County to include this development's impacts in their proposed Habitat Conservation planning effort.

While LAFCO has no specific land use jurisdiction over this project located in the unincorporated area of the County, we do have concerns regarding the nature of the development proposal. LAFCO has a fundamental responsibility pursuant to §56000 to discourage urban sprawl, preserve open space and prime agricultural lands, ensure the efficient delivery of governmental services, and encourage the orderly formation of local agencies. With this legislative charge, please consider the following comments at this preliminary stage in the project review. The proposed project encompassed 450 acres of agricultural and open space lands on the northern periphery of the City of Chico. These lands are currently agriculturally zoned and intended for agricultural uses and secondarily, rural residential development where feasible. This project would dramatically alter the land use and place the project in direct conflict with surrounding agriculturally zoned lands. This type of development is customarily described as "leapfrog" development and is inconsistent with the LAFCO responsibility to discourage urban sprawl. 2. The decidedly urban nature of the proposed project including some 298+/ - residential units and 54 acres of commercial development suggests a high level of municipal type services will be required. The County of Butte is not equipped to provide these services; rather the development is more appropriately served by the City of Chico. However, the project site is not located within the City of Chico Sphere of Influence and is not a candidate for annexation to receive such services. Furthermore, the City of Chico, LAFCO and the County are presently receiving a variety of options to extend the influence of the City to areas north of town to ensure that the City has the ability to plan for its future growth.

As I understand the proposal, the project will most likely require the formation of a governmental entity to maintain on-site sewage disposal facilities, drainage facilities, street lighting, road maintenance and other municipal type services. Historically, the County has. requested the formation of county service areas (CSA) or community services districts (CSD) to administer the needed services. LAFCO does have jurisdictional authority over the formation of these governmental units and would evaluate. these requests in light of our legislative charge described above. It would be very difficult at this stage to consider the extension of urban development and related services to a rural environment as efficient and orderly. 4. Recent water supply legislation was adopted (SB 610) that requires a local agency during the CEQA process to prove the availability of water to serve projects in excess of 500 residential units, over 500,000 sq.ft. of commercial space or any project that requires water supplies equivalent to 500 dwelling units. The project in totality suggests 298 residential units, a golf course and as stated at the Pre - Development Conference, some 800,000 sq. ft. of commercial space. These uses combined will certainly exceed the 500 residential unit equivalent standard. Therefore, pursuant to the State Water Code, the project requirements would include the preparation of water supply assessment and perhaps an Urban Water Management Plan if groundwater is the intended source of water supplies. These comments are preliminary based on the general project descriptions provided. LAFCo will review the project in greater detail during the CEQA review process.

This review period will expire on February 22, 2002. During this period the application was reviewed by local and State agencies to determine the completeness of the application, and to also provide an opportunity to provide any input regarding conditions and impact on the environment. The Planning Division also held a Public Meeting on February 6, 2002. which included members of the Development Review Committee and representatives from other Responsible Agencies. This meeting was attended by project representative Wes Gilbert. Based upon the County's review, these applications are considered incomplete. Attached to this letter are the comments received during the review period. Any additional comments received after this date will be provided under separate cover. The following list of Responsible Agencies submitted comments that indicate that additional requirements will be necessary prior to deeming this application complete, and continuing application processing (a brief summary of the comments is included): Environmental Health Division —See attached response Requests information regarding a proposed solution to sewage disposal, provision of drinking water, and oversight and maintenance of shared facilities. The Environmental Health Division recommends the completion of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to help address these issues. Department of Public Works —See attached response Requests additional information regarding traffic and drainage impacts. Notes that proposal includes urban densities outside of City Sphere of Influence and that the City of Chico should be contacted for comments. Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District —See attached response Requests additional information regarding storm drainage facilities, detention, the relocation of existing swales, and the community sewage disposal system. Recommends the preparation of an EIR. California Water Service Company —See attached response Indicates that special facilities including a well and/or main extension will be required to serve the project. Requests more detailed plans and fire flow requirements to comment on the projects. California Department of Forestry/Butte Countv Fire —See attached response States that the maximum length .of a dead-end road cannot exceed 800 feet for parcel zoned for less than 1 -acre. The tentative map must be designed to conform to this requirement (in accordance with Butte County Code Section 20-133) Citv of Chico Community Development Department —See attached response States concerns regarding traffic, air quality and growth inducing impacts. States that the project contemplates the development of urban uses, both residential and commercial, well outside of the City's urban planning area. The City recommends that these types of impacts be addressed in a project EIR. The City also notes that the applications Environmental Information form is lacking adequate information and should be amended. The Planning Division also received comments from the Air Quality Management District. These comments do not speak towards the completeness of the application. They do, however, indicate that the project will have a potentially significant impact on air quality and recommends that a quantified air quality analysis be performed for full build -out of the project. Such an analysis �.yill be a requirement for the future environmental analysis of the project pursuant to CEQA. In addition to the above. the Planning Division wishes to inform you that the proposed General Plan Amendment. Rezone, and Tentative Subdivision Map does not appear to be provided with basic community services such as sewer, .water, and drainage that are necessary for a development of the proposed size. Staff also notes that the large amount of commercial land requested for rezone does not correlate to the smaller size of the proposed development. The Planning Division concurs with the Environmental Health Division. Department of Public Works and the City of Chico with regards to the unmet service demands of the proposed project and the potential for this project to develop urban densities and land uses with associated environmental impacts within a non -urban, agricultural area. The Butte County General Plan Land Use Element contains specific policies that uphold requirements for the provision of appropriate levels of service, and locating urban development in suitable areas of the County. These policies require that urban developments be directed towards urban areas and away from agricultural land. Many of these polices do not appear to be upheld by this proposal. Such policies have been attached for your consideration. Planning Division staff is available to discuss these policies in more detail should you so desire. fl, The Planning Division also requires appropriate biological surveys, to include a wetland delineation and surveys for sensitive plant and animal species including raptors and bird species. These types of surveys must be taken into account in the design and lay -out of any proposal. You are encouraged to have these studies completed by qualified consultants for your own planning purposes. I must inform you, however, that the county reserves the right to have any such study independently reviewed and/or performed again by a consultant of the County's own choosing in conjunction with the Environmental Review of this project required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Other Considerations: The proposal also contemplates the development of a golf course. A golf course can only be permitted in either the current A-40 zone or proposed SR -%i zone upon securing a Conditional Use Permit. The current permit applications do not include a Use Permit application and, therefore, the approval of a golf course at this location cannot be considered at this time. The proposal must meet the design requirements of the proposed SR- '/ zone. Some of the proposed parcels do not equal one-half acre (21,780 square feet). This should be corrected on the proposed tentative map. In accordance with Butte County Code Section 20-120.1, the lot area for all parcels of less than 1 acre shall be computed exclusive of that area lying within access easements or public roads. Several of the lots within the subdivision appear to have double frontage. Butte County Code Section 20-133 indicates that proposed lots shall not have double frontage. This situation should be corrected on the proposed tentative map. Butte County Code Section 20-78 indicates that parkland dedication or in -lieu fees will be required for subdivisions having fifty or more lots. This requirement should be taken into consideration in your proposal. M m Butte County Code Sections 20-140 and 20-141 requires subdivisions of the size proposed to include bicycle paths and pedestrian ways. Allowances for these improvements should be provided on the tentative map where applicable. The Planning Division would also like to disclose to you that submittal of the General Plan Amendment/Rezone and Tentative Subdivision Map applications in no way authorizes any work to be performed in conjunction with site development. You should be aware that the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the California Department of Fish and Game. and the Army Corps'of Engineers have regulatory authority over impacts associated with wetlands and sensitive plant and animal species that are potentially located on the project site. Disturbance or grading on this land could result in violations of the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and other State and Federal laws. These agencies should be consulted prior to any type of land clearing or grading at the project site. I encourage you to individually contact representatives from the above-mentioned Responsible Agencies. A copy of the roster from the public meeting is attached to this letter to assist you in contacting the appropriate individuals. I would also like to suggest that another meeting with County Planning Division staff may be beneficial to discuss policy issues relative to the General Plan. Within 30 days after accepting an application as complete the County will determine if the project warrants the preparation of an EIR pursuant to CEQA.

CO:M�IENTS (Attach additional pages if necessary): By: / /// �/�./ #Z-r� Z2: Date: 7 Count• Center Drive - Oroville, California 95965 - 530-533-7601 - FAX 530-533-7733 • RESPONSE TO PLANNING ADDENDUM — RALPH RANCH The applicant has proposed a 300 -plus lot subdivision and plans to resolve sewage on-site. Although no soil data was submitted with the application, the development is in an area that is known for limited soil and perched water tables. Thus it is almost certain that the proposal will not meet county improvement standards for development utilizing on-site sewage disposal (Appendix VII Usable Sewage Disposal Areas — USDA). The applicant wishes to provide a community sewage collection treatment and waste disposal system. He is already aware that he probably can't meet county standards and wishes to apply to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) for a waste discharge permit. Under a conditioned state waste discharge permit, more options have been available to developers for sewage disposal than allowed under county standards. However, his engineer has not proposed a solution (plan) yet for treatment and disposal of some 90,000 + gallons/day of sewage (projected flow estimate from project at build out). Historically, the RWQCB has allowed engineered mitigations in Butte County when local sewage standards could not be met. They have considered these facilities with the understanding that the sewage effluent would be filtered and disinfected prior to discharge and would be maintained and operated by a legal entity. The RWQCB has accepted homeowners associations in lieu of county maintenance entities. Recently however, they have stated that all community sewerage systems will be required to meet the basin guidelines or not be allowed to discharge underground. In addition they have made comments about not accepting homeowners associations any longer as a maintenance entity (see attached letter 3/1/01). That leaves few options available for this project if they can't find suitable soil (we will assume running a sewer main from Chico is not an option). Actually, only one; winter storage and summer irrigation. This type of operation is highly complicated and requires substantial monitoring and oversight (and subsequent operating costs). The ability of a homeowners association to manage and fund a facility of this size and complexity is questionable. It would be presumptive to assume the Regional Board would approve this type of sewage solution. The applicant has proposed community water and expressed the wish to be connected to California Water Service. However, no written commitment or response from Cal Water was submitted with the application. If Cal Water refuses to include this development in their district, the applicant will be left with the option of forming their own community water system. At 300 - plus connections, it would be considered large enough to be a State Public Water System and subject to fairly comprehensive permit and monitoring requirements. At the very least, the Department of Health Services, Division of Drinking Water and Environmental Management, should be consulted prior to acceptance of the application. The regional office is located in Redding (415 Knollcrest Drive, 224-4858). This project is large. It is in an area that probably will not support on-site sewage disposal, at least under county standards. Drinking water will require the formation of a large public water system. This department will suggest that the resultant facilities be managed under a strong RESPONSE TO PLANNING WENDUM — RALPH RANCH Page 2 entity structure such as a community services district (sewage). The solution to provision of these needed infrastructures most certainly will have significant impacts on the surrounding area. The scope and features of those impacts cannot be determined at this stage until more information is made available. Therefore, until the applicant can provide information regarding the proposed solution to sewage disposal.and provision of drinking water, we would consider this application incomplete, and we believe the proper vehicle for providing this information in an EIR.

Due to some recent clarifications from our legal staff regarding our waiver policy for on-site systems and due to the problems inherent with small volume community waste dischargers, especially those using homeowners associations, some modifications are necessary in the manner we (County and Regional Board -staff) fulfill our oversight responsibility for these systems. Firstly, as of the date of this letter, all community wastewater -treatment systems will require waste discharge requirements from this office (i.e. no waivers will be issued for these systems, no matter how small, and we must be notified of any community system). A community system refers to any system where two or more property owners discharge to a single wastewater treatment system. Secondly, we have also been made aware that the waiver for on-site systems does not apply for package plants. Whether a single family sand filter system would classify as a "package plant"is subject to further interpretation. This same pending question would also apply to any system with pumps, valves, blowers, or other parts not typical of a standard septic tank and leachfield. For commercial and industrial discharges, and discharges such as campgrounds, schools, mobile home parks, apartment complexes, etc., the current interpretation of the guidelines is that as long as the discharge is on one property and from facilities on that property, the system would not be considered a community system, and therefore waste discharge requirements could be waived_ Your revised draft agency review agreement, dated 29 January 2001, addresses the above concerns. Please institute the notification procedures of this agreement as soon as possible. Because of technical, managerial, and financial issues. regarding the operation of community systems not under the oversight of a CSD or CSA, we anticipate that we will need to discuss the formation of responsible entities in some detail, as well a?pay particular attention to tentative and final map California Environmental Protection Agency Reeycted Paper 'nee energy challenge facing California is real. every CaLlfornian needs to take immediate action to reduce energy consumption. For a list of simple ways you can reduce demand and cut your energy coats, see our web -site at hof://wwv.s,wrcb.ca..-ovtrwgcb5 Mr. Tom Reid - 2 - • 1 March 2001 conditions. We will also need to be more cognizant of systems maintenance and replacement cost, as many small community systems currently in existence, including both systems that are part of CSA's, as well as those that are not, may not have adequate plans in place for accruing capital for repairs and replacements. Another consideration with homeowners associations is the responsibility and coordination for checking of plans, issuing of permits, and inspection of construction. We understand that the County has generally performed many of these functions for wastewater treatment facilities in the past, whether for public or private entities. However, we need to discuss whether the County will have the staff and funds to continue to do so in the future. As you are also aware, mobile home parks and recreational vehicle parks are another unique problem due to multi -agency jurisdiction regarding plan review and inspections. We would like to formalize the oversight of such systems, and perhaps involve the State Department of Housing. and Community Development.in these discussions. Due to the unknowns of mitigations for potential high groundwater (particularly disinfection), we do not intend to issue any future waste discharge requirements that do not substantially meet our "Guidelines For Waste Disposal From Land Development", as contained in our Basin Plan. In particular, we do not intend to issue any further sets of Waste Discharge Requirements that rely on disinfection, partially or wholly. Lastly, one particular item of concern that has been problematic with community systems is proper construction and logging of monitoring wells and piezometers. A potential method to resolve this problem would be for all wells to be drilled at least 15.feer.deep;so that they would require a permit by the County. Also please note that in waste discharge requirements, we will continue to require logging of wells by a registered- engineer or geologist, and will also require that an engineer certify that the wastewater treatment and disposal system construction, as well as design, has been certified by a registered engineer.

The City Planning, Division forwards the following comments for your consideration: This development proposal lacks the detailed information necessary to evaluate a project of this size and potential impact. Specifically, information is needed regarding the proposed commercialarea and golf course facilities in order to assess traffic and safety impacts. Without more specific project information, any environmental review conducted. should address all uses allowed within the requested land use designations and zoning districts. 2. This proposal contemplates the development of urban uses, both residential and commercial, well outside of the City's urban and planning area, and can be considered growth -inducing leapfrog development that will increase the likelihood of future development between it and the Chico urban area to the south. This is a potentially significant environmental impact that should be addressed in an environmental impact report (EIR) to be prepared in conjunction with the project. 3. Future residents will travel via Highway 99 and Keefer Road into Chico to work, shop, and attend school, and together with the development of a golf course and regional shopping facilities that would be allowed on the site consistent with the proposed zoning, substantial additional traffic would be generated. Traffic and air quality impacts would be significant and will require mitigation. The EIR should address impacts to all affected c Made From Recycled Paper Letter to Dan Breedon February 18, 2002 Page 2 State, County, and City highway, roads, and intersections between the project site and appropriate destinations within the Chico urban area. 4. The environmental information submitted with the project indicates that the project will have no effect on the following: scenic views or vistas; significant amounts of solid waste or litter; change in dust, smoke, fumes or odors in vicinity; substantial change in existing noise or vibration levels in the vicinity; fossil fuel consumption (electricity, oil, natural gas, etc.) and relationship to a larger project or series of projects. It appears that the project does have the potential to result in environmental effects regarding a number of these issues. Because the proposed project site lies outside of the City's sphere of influence, it would not be subject to payment of development impact fees. If this project is ultimately approved, we recommend that the County require a development agreement or similar mechanism that would assess and impose development impact fees commensurate with development within the City's sphere of influence. 6. The proposed application seeks H -C Highway Commercial zoning for 54+ acres of land. It should be presumed that such a large commercial -area will be marketed to major retailers. The size and requested- zoning;of.this site could accommodate a regional mall or factory outlet complex, and allow by right. and by use permit a broad range of uses that fall well beyond neighborhood needs (which could be met with a much smaller area of N -C Neighborhood Commercial zoning). Again, we very much appreciate the opportunity you have provided to comment on this proposal. If you have questions about this response, please feel free to contact me at 895-4743.

The enclosures are intended to assist you in your continued environmental review of this proposal. Future consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) may be required under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act if project activities are anticipated to impact jurisdictional wetlands, and/or the Endangered Species Act if project activities are anticipated to affect federally listed species. Enclosure A provides a list of sensitive species that may.occur in or near the project site. The Service recommends that surveys be completed -by.a qualified biologist on" the proposed project site to confirm the presence or absence of special -status species or their habitats. Enclosure B recommends general guidelines for identifying and mitigating project impacts to fish, wildlife, and their habitats. The Council on Environmental Quality developed regulations for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act, and defines mitigation to include: (1) avoiding the impact; (2) minimizing the impact; (3) rectifying the impact; (4) reducing or eliminating the impact over time; and (5) compensating for impacts. The Service supports and adopts this definition of mitigation and considers the specific elements to represent the desirable sequence of steps in the mitigation planning process. Accordingly, we maintain the best way to mitigate adverse biological impacts is avoidance when at all possible. We encourage you to use these guidelines to develop a comprehensive environmental document that addresses these needs.

ENCLOSURE B The coal of the L.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, and their habitats by timely and effective provision of fish and wildlife information and recommendations. To assist us in accomplishing this goal, we would like to see the items described below discussed in your environmental documents for the proposed project. Project Description. The document should very clearly state the purposes of, and document the needs for, the proposed project so that the capabilities of the various alternatives to meet the purposes and needs can be readily determined. A thorough description of all permanent and temporary facilities to be constructed and work to be done as a part of the project should be included. The document should identify any new access roads, equipment staging areas, and gravel processing facilities which are needed. Figures accurately depicting proposed project features in relation to natural features (such as streams, wetlands, riparian areas, and other habitat types) in the project area should be included. Affected Environment. The document should show the location of, and describe, all vegetative cover types in the areas potentially affected by all project alternatives and associated activities. Tables with acreages of each cover type with and without the project for each alternative would also be appropriate. We recommend that all wetlands in the project area be delineated and described according to the classification system found in the Service's Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States :(Cowardin 1979). The Service's National Wetland Inventory maps would be one starting point for. this .effort. The document should present and analyze a full range of alternatives to the proposed project. At least one alternative should be designed to avoid all impacts to wetlands, including riparian areas. Similarly, within each alternative, measures to minimize or avoid impacts .to wetlands should be included. Lists of fish and wildliffe species expected to occur in the project area should be in the document. The lists should also indicate for each species whether or not it is a resident or migrant, and the period(s) of the year it would be expected in the project area. Environmental Consequences. The sections on impacts to fish and wildlife should discuss impacts from vegetation removal (both permanent and temporary), filling or degradation of wetlands, interruption of wildlife migration corridors, and disturbance from trucks and other machinery during construction and/or operation. These sections should also analyze possible impacts to streams from construction of outfall structures, pipeline crossings, and filling. Impacts on water quality, including nutrient loading, sedimentation, toxics, biological oxygen demand, and temperature in receiving waters should also be discussed in detail along .with the resultant effects on fish and aquatic invertebrates. Discussion of indirect impacts to fish, wildlife, and their habitats, including impacts from growth induced by the proposed project, should also be addressed in the document. The impacts of each alternative should be discussed.in sufficient detail to allow comparison between the alternatives. 0 0 The cumulative impacts of the project, when viewed in conjunction with other past, existing, and foreseeable projects, need to be addressed. Cumulative impacts to fish, wildlife, wetlands and other habitats, and water quality should be included. Mitigation Planning. Under provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, the Service advises the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on projects involving dredge and fill activities in "waters of the United States", of which wetlands and some riparian habitats are subcategories. Since portions of this proposal may ultimately require a Corps permit, the Service will subsequently be involved under the Coordination Act. Therefore, if you have not done so already, we suggest that you or your representative consult the Corps regarding onsite wetlands and related habitats that may fall under their jurisdiction, and include this information in the draft document. When reviewing Corps public notices, the Service generally does not object to projects meeting the following criteria: They are ecologically sound; 2. The least environmentally damaging reasonable alternative is selected; Every reasonable effort is made to avoid or minimize damage or loss of fish and wildlife resources and uses; 4. All important recommended,means.and measures have been adopted, with guaranteed implementation to satisfactorily compensate:.for,unavo1dab] e damageor loss consistent with the appropriate mitigation goal; and. For wetlands and shallow water habitats, the proposed activity is clearly water dependent and there is a demonstrated public need. The Service may recommend the "no project" alternative for those projects which do not meet all of the above criteria, and where there is likely to be a significant fish and wildlife resource loss. When projects impacting waterways or wetlands are deemed acceptable to the Service, we recommend full mitigation for any impacts to fish and wildlife. The Council on Environmental Quality regulations for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act define mitigation to include: 1) Avoiding the impact; 2) minimizing the impact; 3) rectifying the impact; 4) reducing or eliminating the impact over time; and 5) compensating for impacts. The Service supports and adopts this definition of mitigation and considers the specific elements to represent the desirable sequence of steps in the mitigation planning process. Accordingly, we maintain that the best way to mitigate for adverse biological impacts is to avoid them altogether. The document should describe all measures proposed to avoid, minimize, or compensate for impacts to fish and wildlife and their habitats. The measures should be presented in as much detail as possible to allow us to evaluate their probable effectiveness. L Because of their very high value to migratory birds, and their ever-increasing scarcity in California, our mitigation goal for wetlands (including riparian and riverine wetlands) is no net loss of in-kind habitat value or acreage (whichever is greater). For unavoidable i; :pacts, to determine the mitigation credits available for a given mitigation project, we evaluate what conditions would exist on the mitigation site in the future in the absence of the mitigation actions, and compare those conditions to the conditions we would expect to develop on the site with implementation of the mitigation plan. Mitigation habitat should be equal to or exceed the quality of the habitat to be affected by the project. Baseline information would need to be gathered at the impact site to be able to quantify this goal in terms of plant species diversity, shrub and tree canopy cover, stems/acre, tree height, etc. The ultimate success of the project should be judged according to these same measurements at the mitigation site. Criteria should be developed for assessing the progress of the project during its developmental stages as well. assessment criteria should include rates of plant growth, plant health, and evidence of natural reproduction. Success criteria should be geared toward equaling or exceeding the quality of the highest quality habitat to be affected. In other words, the mitigation effort would be deemed a success in relation to this goal if the mitigation site met or exceeded habitat measurements at a "model" site (plant cover, density, species diversity, etc.). The plan should present.the proposed ground elevations at the mitigationsite, along with elevations in the adjacent areas. A comparison of the soils of the proposed mitigation and adjacent areas should also be included in the plan, and a determination made as to the suitability of the soils to support habitats consistent with the mitigation goals. Because wetland ecosystems are driven by suitable hydrological conditions, additional information must be developed on the predicted hydrology of the mitigation site. The plan should describe the depth of the water table, and the frequency, duration, areal extent, and depth of flooding which would occur on the site. The hydrologic information should include an analysis of extreme conditions (drought, flooding) as well as typical conditions. The plan must include a timeframe for implementing the mitigation in relation to the proposed project. We recommend that mitigation be initiated prior to the onset of construction. If there will be a substantial time lag between project construction and completion of the mitigation, a net loss of habitat va:-.:es would result, and more mitigation would be required to offset this loss. Generally, monitoring of the mitigation site should occur annually for at least the first five years, biennially for years 6 through 11, and every five years thereafter until the mitigation has met all success criteria. Remediation efforts and additional monitoring should occur if success. criteria are not met during :he first five years. Some projects will require. monitoring throughout the life of the project. Re ��rts should be prepared after each monitoring session. 'l.: P , ., 4 The plan should require the preparation of "as -built" plans. Such plans provide valuable information, especially if the mitigation effort fails. Similarly, a "time -zero" report should be mandated. This report would describe exactly what was done during the construction of the mitigation project, what problems were encountered, and what corrections or modifications to the plans were undertaken. The plan should detail how the site is to be maintained during the mitigation establishment period, and how long the establishment period'will be. It will also be important to note what entity will perform the maintenance activities, and what entity will ultimately own and manage the site. In addition, a mechanism to fund the maintenance and management of the site should be established and identified. A permanent easement should be placed on the property used for the mitigation that would preclude incompatible activities on the site in perpetuity. Finally, in some cases, a performance bond may be required as part of the mitigation plan. The amount of the bond should be sufficient to cover the costs of designing and implementing an adequate mitigation plan (and purchasing land if needed) should the proposed plan not succeed.

Be energy efficient! Thank you for the opportunity to review and provide comments on the above referenced document. The proposed 1450.63 -acre subdivision would create 298 single-family residential lots on 397 acres, and a golf course on 54 acres. Three new roads to the subdivision would provide access from the north side of Meridian Road, east of State Route (SR-) 99. Specific areas of concern are as follows: Traffic Operations Presently, SR -99 in the project area (PM 40.84-41.48) is a portion of a 2 -lane conventional highway facility. According to the current Caltrans SR -99 Transportation Concept Report, within this segment of highway, from the north boundary of Chico to the Butte/Tehama County line, a 4 -lane expressway will be needed eventually to relieve predicted localized future congestion. However, the analysis did not take into account the Ralph Ranch proposal, and additional capacity improvements to this segment may be necessary to avoid significant congestion within the 20 -year planning period. Additional right of way may also need to be dedicated to accommodate the future facility. A traffic impact study should be prepared as a part of the Environmental Impact Report to ,analyze potential impacts and appropriate mitigation measures. The "Caltrans improves mobility across Caltfornia" Mr. Dan Breedon February 21.1 , 2002 • Page 2 Caltrans Traffic Impact Study Guidelines should be used as a reference. A copy of the Guidelines can be viewed and downloaded from this website: http://issc.dot.ca.gov/trafops/dvsrv/tisguide.pdf. This project could have significant impacts at the SR-99/Meridian Road intersection. The current configuration will likely need to be upgraded to accommodate additional turning movements and capacity. Caltrans is currently designing a SHOPP and HA -22 project (EA 33870) along the total frontage of the subject parcel. The District 3 Project Management staff will need to be consulted for potential conflicts between our project and any proposed specific improvements required for the subdivision. The project should also be required to contribute fair share mitigation fees to compensate for cumulative traffic impacts on the regional road systems. Hydraulics 1. Surface water (stormwater) runoff from the existing 450 +/- acre agricultural site drains to the southwest toward SR -99. The proposed project will substantially increase the impervious surface area in the form of residential roadways, homes, driveways, etc. resulting in a significant decrease in stormwater retention and infiltration area. Existing drainage pathways, which currently meander through the project site in unimproved channels, will likely be improved and possibly redirected. Care must be taken during design and construction to insure site improvements do not adversely effect stormwater drainage at SR -99. 2. Runoff from the proposed project that will enter the State's highway right of way and/or Caltrans drainage facilities, whether discharged directly or indirectly, must meet all Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) water quality standards prior to entering the State's highway right of way or Caltrans drainage facilities. The developer is responsible for insuring that . runoff from the site meets these clean water standards (i.e., is free of oils, greases, metals, sands, sediment, etc.). This may be accomplished through the implementation of appropriate stormwater quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) (i.e., oil/water separators, clarifiers, infiltration systems, etc.) as applicable. Once installed, the property owner must properly maintain these systems. 3. No net increase to the surface water (stormwater) peak runoff discharge (100 year storm event) may be realized within the State's highway right of way and Caltrans drainage facilities as a result of the completion of the project. The developer is responsible for ensuring that stormwater runoff discharge from the project site that will enter the State's right of way and/or Caltrans drainage facilities, whether discharged directly or indirectly, does not increase peak flows within the State's highway right of way or the Caltrans drainage facility. This may, be accomplished through the implementation of stormwater management BMPs (i.e., detention/retention ponds or basins, sub -surface "Caltrans improves mobility across Califomia" Mr. Dan Breedon February 2i, 2002 Page 3 galleries, on-site storage and/or infiltration ditches, etc.) as applicable. Once installed, the property owner must properly maintain these systems. 4. The proponent/developer must perpetuate, maintain or improve existing drainage patterns and/or facilities affected by the proposed development/ project to the satisfaction of the State and Caltrans. This includes, but is not limited to, altering stormwater pathways and storage areas, whether engineered or naturally occurring. Altering existing drainage patterns and/or facilities without proper mitigation may lead to adverse drainage impacts to State highway facilities or to other local public or private properties. The proponent/developer may be held liable for future damages caused by diverted or increased drainage flows determined to be the result of the proposed development/project that were not properly mitigated for. 5. No detailed drainage plans, drawings or calculations were received with the IGR-CEQA project package. Likewise, no hydrologic/hydraulic study or report was received with the package. To adequately evaluate project impacts upon the State's right of way and. Caltrans drainage facilities, the aforementioned documents are required. The Plans will need to show both the "pre - construction" coverage quantities for buildings, streets, parking, etc. and "post - construction" coverage quantities. Please request these documents from the project proponent and send them to District 3 Hydraulics in Marysville for review prior to final project approval. 6. The cumulative effects of development within the project area will result in a significant increase to the impervious surface area while greatly decreasing available area for runoff detention and infiltration. Close attention should be paid to these cumulative effects to. avoid over development of the basin. Caltrans is also concerned that impacts to sensitive resources adjacent to the right of way, such as vernal pools and other wetlands, could affect highway facilities, resources that are contained within our right of way and the motorists' viewshed. We encourage the County to include this development's impacts in their proposed Habitat Conservation planning effort.

This review period. will expire on February 22, 2002. During this period the application was reviewed by local and State agencies to determine the completeness of the application, and to also provide an opportunity to provide any input regarding conditions and impact on the environment. The Planning Division also held a Public Meeting on February 6, 2002, which included members of the Development Review Committee and representatives from other Responsible Agencies. This meeting was attended by project representative Wes Gilbert. Based upon the County's review, these applications are considered incomplete. Attached to this letter are the comments received during the review period. Any additional comments received after this date will be provided under separate cover. The following list of Responsible Agencies submitted comments that indicate that additional requirements will be necessary prior to deeming this application complete, and continuing application processing (a brief summary of the comments is included): Environmental Health Division —See attached response Requests information regarding a proposed solution to sewage disposal, provision of drinking water, and oversight and maintenance of shared facilities. The Environmental Health Division recommends the completion of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to help address these issues. Department of Public Works —See attached response Requests additional information regarding traffic and drainage impacts. Notes that proposal includes urban densities outside of City Sphere of Influence and that the City of Chico should be contacted for comments. Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District —See attached response Requests additional information regarding storm drainage facilities, detention, the relocation of existing swales, and the community sewage disposal system. Recommends the preparation of an EIR. California Water Service Company —See attached response Indicates that special facilities including a well and/or main extension will be required to serve the project. Requests more detailed plans and fire flow requirements to comment on the projects. California Department of Forestry/Butte County Fire —See attached response States that the maximum length of a dead-end road cannot exceed 800 feet for parcel zoned for less than 1 -acre. The tentative map must be designed to conform to this requirement (in accordance with Butte County Code Section 20-133) City of Chico Community Development Department —See attached response States concerns regarding traffic, air quality and growth inducing impacts. States that the project contemplates the development of urban uses, both residential and commercial, well outside of the City's urban planning area. The City recommends that these types of impacts be addressed in a project EIR. The City also notes that the application's Environmental Information form is lacking adequate information and should be amended. The Planning Division also received comments from the Air Quality Management District. These comments do not speak towards the completeness of the application. They do, however, indicate that the project will have a potentially significant impact on air quality and recommends that a quantified air quality analysis be performed for full build -out of the project. Such an analysis will be a requirement for the future environmental analysis of the project pursuant to CEQA. In addition to the above, the Planning Division wishes to inform you that the proposed General Plan Amendment, Rezone, and Tentative Subdivision Map does not appear to be provided with basic community services such as sewer, water, and drainage that are necessary for a development of the proposed size. Staff also notes that the large amount of commercial land requested for rezone does not correlate to the smaller size of the proposed development. The Planning Division concurs with the Environmental Health Division, Department of Public Works and the City of Chico with regards to the unmet service demands of the proposed project and the potential for this project to develop urban densities and land uses with associated environmental impacts within a non -urban, agricultural area. The Butte County General Plan Land Use Element contains specific policies that uphold requirements for the provision of appropriate levels of service, and locating urban development in suitable areas of the County. These policies require that urban developments be directed towards urban areas and away from agricultural land. Many of these polices do not appear to be upheld by this proposal. Such policies have been attached for your consideration. Planning Division staff is available to discuss these policies in more detail should you so desire. The Planning Division also requires appropriate biological surveys, to include a wetland delineation and surveys for sensitive plant and animal species including raptors and bird species. These types of surveys must be taken into account in the design and lay -out of any proposal. You are encouraged to have these studies completed by qualified consultants for your own planning purposes. I must inform you, however, that the county reserves the right to have any such study independently reviewed and/or performed again by a consultant of the County's own choosing in conjunction with the Environmental Review of this project required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Other Considerations: The proposal also contemplates the development of a golf course. A golf course can only be permitted in either the current A-40 zone or proposed SR -'/z zone upon securing a Conditional Use Permit. The current permit applications do not include a Use Permit application and, therefore, the approval of a golf course at this location cannot be considered at this time. The proposal must meet the design requirements of the proposed SR- '/z zone. Some of the proposed parcels do not equal one-half acre (21,780 square feet). This should be corrected on the proposed tentative map. In accordance with Butte County Code Section 20-120.1, the lot area for all parcels of less than 1 acre shall be computed exclusive of that area lying within access easements or public roads. Several of the lots within the subdivision appear to have double frontage. Butte County Code Section 20-133 indicates that proposed lots shall not have double frontage. This situation should be corrected on the proposed tentative map. Butte County Code Section 20-78 indicates that parkland dedication or in -lieu fees will be required for subdivisions having fifty or more lots. This requirement should be taken into consideration in your proposal. Butte County Code Sections 20-140 and 20-141 requires subdivisions of the size proposed to include bicycle paths and pedestrian ways. Allowances for these improvements should be provided on the tentative map where applicable. The Planning Division would also like to disclose to you that submittal of the General Plan Amendment/Rezone and Tentative Subdivision Map applications in no way authorizes any work to be performed in conjunction with site development. You should be aware that the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the California Department of Fish and Game, and the Army Corps of Engineers have regulatory authority over impacts associated with wetlands and sensitive plant and animal species that are potentially located on the project site. Disturbance or grading on this land could result in violations of the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and other State and Federal laws. These agencies should be consulted prior to any type of land clearing or grading at the project site. I encourage you to individually contact representatives from the above-mentioned Responsible Agencies. A copy of the roster from the public meeting is attached to this letter to assist you in contacting the appropriate individuals. I would also like to suggest that another meeting with County Planning Division staff may be beneficial to discuss policy issues relative to the General Plan. Within 30 days after accepting an application as complete the County will determine if the project warrants the preparation of an EIR pursuant to CEQA.

COMMENTS (Attach additional pages if necessary): 7 County Center Drive - Oroville, California 95965 - 530-538-7601 - FAX 530-538-7785 RESPONSE TO PLANNING ADDENDUM — RALPH RANCH The applicant has proposed a 300 -plus lot subdivision and plans to resolve sewage on-site. Although no soil data was submitted with the application, the development is in an area that is known for limited soil and perched water tables. Thus it is almost certain that the proposal will not meet county improvement standards for development utilizing on-site sewage disposal (Appendix VII Usable Sewage Disposal Areas — USDA). The applicant wishes to provide a community sewage collection treatment and waste disposal system. He is already aware that he probably can't meet county standards and wishes to apply to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) for a waste discharge permit. Under a conditioned state waste discharge permit, more options have been available to developers for sewage disposal than allowed under county standards. However, his engineer has not proposed a solution (plan) yet for treatment and disposal of some 90,000 + gallons/day of sewage (projected flow estimate from project at build out). Historically, the RWQCB has allowed engineered mitigations in Butte County when local sewage standards could not be met. They have considered these facilities with the understanding that the sewage effluent would be filtered and disinfected prior to discharge and would be maintained and operated by a legal entity. The RWQCB has accepted homeowners associations in lieu of county maintenance entities. Recently however, they have stated that all community sewerage systems will be required to meet the basin guidelines or not be allowed to discharge underground. In addition they have made comments about not accepting homeowners associations any longer as a maintenance entity (see attached letter 3/1/01). That leaves few options available for this project if they can't find suitable soil (we will assume running a sewer main from Chico is not an option). Actually, only one; winter storage and summer irrigation. This type of operation is highly complicated and requires substantial monitoring and oversight (and subsequent operating costs). The ability of a homeowners association to manage and fund a facility of this size and complexity is questionable. It would be presumptive to assume the Regional Board would approve this type of sewage solution. The applicant has proposed community water and expressed the wish to be connected to California Water Service. However, no written commitment or response from Cal Water was submitted with the application. If Cal Water refuses to include this development in their district, the applicant will be left with the option of forming their own community water system. At 300 - plus connections, it would be considered large enough to be a State Public Water System and subject to fairly comprehensive permit and monitoring requirements. At the very least, the Department of Health Services, Division of Drinking Water and Environmental Management, should be consulted prior to acceptance of the application. The regional office is located in Redding (415 Knollcrest Drive, 224-4858). This project is large. It is in an area that probably will not support on-site sewage disposal, at least under county standards. Drinking water will require the formation of a large public water system. This department will suggest that the resultant facilities be managed under a strong RESPONSE TO PLANNING ADDENDUM — RALPH RANCH Page 2 entity structure such as a community services district (sewage). The solution to provision of these needed infrastructures most certainly will have significant impacts on the surrounding area. The scope and features of those impacts cannot be determined at this stage until more information is made available. Therefore, until the applicant can provide information regarding the proposed solution to sewage disposal and provision of drinking water, we would consider this application incomplete, and we believe the proper vehicle for providing this information in an EIR.

Due to some recent clarifications from our legal staff regarding our waiver policy for on-site systems and due to the problems inherent with small volume community waste dischargers, especially those using homeowners associations, some modifications are necessary in the manner we (County and Regional Board staff) fulfill our oversight responsibility for these systems. Firstly, as of the date of this letter; all community wastewater treatment systems will require waste discharge requirements from this office (i.e. no waivers will be issued for these systems, no matter how small, and we must be notified of any community system). A community system refers to any system where two or more property owners discharge to a single wastewater treatment system. Secondly, we have also been made aware that the waiver for on-site systems does not apply for package plants. Whether a single family sand filter system would classify as a "package plant"is subject to further interpretation. This same pending question would also apply to any system with pumps, valves, blowers, or other parts not typical of a standard septic tank and leachfield. For commercial and industrial discharges, and discharges such as campgrounds, schools, mobile home parks, apartment complexes, etc., the current interpretation of the guidelines is that as long as the discharge is on one property and from facilities on that property, the system would not be considered a community system, and therefore waste discharge requirements could be waived - Your revised draft agency review agreement, dated 29 January 2001, addresses the above concerns. Please institute the notification procedures of this agreement as soon as possible. Because of technical, managerial, and financial issues -'regarding the operation of community systems not under the oversight of a CSD or CSA, we anticipate that we will need to discuss the formation of responsible entities in some detail, as well dpay particular attention to tentative and final map California Environmental Protection Agency 100 Recycled Paper The energy challenge facing California is real. Every Californian needs to take immediate action to reduce energy consumption. For a list of simple ways you can reduce demand and cut your energy costs, see our Wcb-site at hrtp://www.swmb.ca.gov/rwgcb5 03/07/0I 09:49 FAX 590 598 2165 DEPT. OF PUBLIC HEALTH 0002 Mr. Tom Reid - 2 - 1 March 2001 conditions. We will also need to be more cognizant of systems maintenance and replacement cost, as many small community systems currently in existence, including both systems that are part of CSA's, as well as those that are not, may not have adequate plans in place for accruing capital for repairs and replacements. Another consideration with homeowners associations is the responsibility and coordination for checking of plans, issuing of permits, and inspection of construction. We understand that the County has generally performed many of these functions for wastewater treatment facilities in the past, whether for public or private entities. However, we need to discuss whether the County will have the staff and funds to continue to do so in the future. As you are also aware, mobile home parks and recreational vehicle parks are another unique problem due to multi -agency jurisdiction regarding plan review and inspections. We would like to formalize the oversight of such systems; and perhaps involve the State Department of Housing. and Community Development.in these discussions. Due to the unknowns of mitigations for potential high groundwater (particularly disinfection), we do not intend to issue any future waste discharge requirements that do not substantially meet our "Guidelines For Waste Disposal from Land Development", as contained in our Basin Plan. In particular, we do not .intend to issue any further sets of Waste Discharge Requirements that rely on disinfection, partially or wholly. Lasdy, one particular item of concern that has been problematic with community systems is proper construction and logging of monitoring wells and piezometers. A potential method to resolve this problem would be for all wells to be drilled at least 15 feet deep•so that they would require a permit by the County. Also please note that in waste discharge requirements, we will continue to require logging of wells by a registered engineer or geologist, and will also require that an engineer certify that the wastewater treatment and disposal system construction, as well as design, has been certified by a registered engineer.

Oroville, CA. 95965-1397 Subject: Ralph Ranch, Green Acres, GPA/RZ 02-03 and TSM 02-04 Dear Dan: C i' Q V E FEB 2 0 MM BUTTE COUNTY Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed General Plan amendment, rezoning, and tentative subdivision map to allow development of 298 single-family homes, an 18 -hole golf course and clubhouse, and approximately 800,000 square feet of highway -oriented commercial on 450.63 acres north between Highway 99 and Meridian Road (APN 047-100-022 and 047-130- 154). The City Planning Division forwards the following comments for your consideration: This development proposal lacks the detailed information necessary to evaluate a project of this size and potential impact. Specifically, information is needed regarding the proposed commercial area and golf course facilities in order to assess traffic and safety impacts. Without more specific project information, any environmental review conducted should address all uses allowed within the requested land use designations and zoning districts. 2. This proposal contemplates the development of urban uses, both residential and - commercial, well outside of the City's urban and planning area, and can be considered growth -inducing leapfrog development that will increase the likelihood of future development between it and the Chico urban area to the south. This is a potentially significant environmental impact that should be addressed in an environmental impact report (EIR) to be prepared in conjunction with the project. 3. Future residents will travel via Highway 99 and Keefer Road into Chico to work, shop, and attend school, and together with the development of a golf course and regional shopping facilities that would be allowed on the site consistent with the proposed zoning, substantial additional traffic would be generated. Traffic and air quality impacts would be significant and will require mitigation. The EIR should address impacts to all affected gam& Made From Recycled Paper Letter to Dan Breedon February 18, 2002 Page 2 State, County, and City highway, roads, and intersections between the project site and appropriate destinations within the Chico urban area. 4. The environmental information submitted with the project indicates that the project will have no effect on the following: scenic views or vistas; significant amounts of solid waste or litter; change in dust, smoke, fumes or odors in vicinity; substantial change in existing noise or vibration levels in the vicinity; fossil fuel consumption (electricity, oil, natural gas, etc.) and relationship to a larger project or series of projects. It appears that the project does have the potential to result in environmental effects regarding a number of these issues. Because the proposed project site lies outside of the City's sphere of influence, it would not be subject to payment of development impact fees. If this project is ultimately approved, we recommend that the County require a development agreement or similar mechanism that would assess and impose development impact fees commensurate with development within the City's sphere of influence. 6. The proposed application seeks H -C Highway Commercial zoning for 54+ acres of land. It should be presumed that such a large commercial area will be marketed to major . retailers. The size and requested zoning of this site could accommodate a regional mall or factory outlet complex, and allow by right and by use permit a broad range of uses that fall well beyond neighborhood needs (which could be met with -a much smaller area of N -C Neighborhood Commercial zoning). Again, we very much appreciate the opportunity you have provided to comment on this proposal. If you have questions about this response, please feel free to contact me at 895-4743.

Mr. Breedon: FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Sacramento Fish and Wildlife Office 2800 Cottage Way, Room W-2605 . Sacramento, California 95825-1846 February 5, 2002 Thank you for the opportunity to review the application for a General Plan/Rezone for the proposed Ralph Ranch - Green Acres in Nord, Butte County, California. The enclosures are intended to assist you in your continued environmental review of this proposal. Future consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) may be required under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act if project activities are anticipated to impact jurisdictional wetlands, and/or the Endangered Species Act if project activities are anticipated to affect federally listed species. Enclosure A provides a list of sensitive species that may occur in or near the project site. The Service recommends that surveys be completed by a qualified biologist on the proposed project site to confirm the presence or absence of special -status species or their habitats. Enclosure B recommends general guidelines for identifying and mitigating project impacts to fish, wildlife, and their habitats. The Council on Environmental Quality developed regulations for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act, and defines mitigation to include: (1) avoiding the impact; (2) minimizing the impact; (3) rectifying the impact; (4) reducing or eliminating the impact over time; and (5) compensating for impacts. The Service supports and adopts this definition of mitigation and considers the. specific elements to represent the desirable sequence of steps in the mitigation planning process. Accordingly, we maintain the best way to mitigate adverse biological impacts is avoidance when at all possible. We encourage you to use these guidelines to develop a comprehensive environmental document that addresses these needs. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact Larry Butcher in the Watershed Planning Branch at (916) 414-6580. Sincerely, _J Q Michael B.

ENCLOSURE B The goal of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, and their habitats by timely and effective provision of fish and wildlife information and recommendations. To assist us in accomplishing this goal, we would like to see the items described below discussed in your environmental documents for the proposed project. Project Description. The document should very clearly state the purposes of, and document the needs for, the proposed project so that the capabilities of the various alternatives to meet the purposes and needs can be readily determined. A thorough description of all permanent and temporary facilities to be constructed and work to be done as a part of the project should be included. The document should identify any new access roads, equipment staging areas, and gravel processing facilities which are needed. Figures accurately depicting proposed project features in relation to natural features (such as streams, wetlands, riparian areas, and other habitat types) in the project area should be included. Affected Environment. The document should show the location of, and describe, all vegetative cover types in the areas potentially affected by all project alternatives and associated activities. Tables with acreages of each cover type with and without the project for each alternative would also be appropriate. We recommend that all wetlands in the project area be delineated and - described according to the classification system found in the Service's Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin 1979). The Service's National Wetland Inventory maps would be one starting point for this effort., The document should present and analyze a full range of alternatives to the proposed project. At least one alternative should be designed to avoid all impacts to wetlands, including riparian areas. Similarly, within each alternative, measures to minimize or avoid impacts to wetlands should be included. Lists of fish and wildlife species expected to occur in.the project area should be in the document. The lists should also indicate for each species whether or not it is a resident• or migrant, and the period(s) of the year it would be expected in the project area. Environmental Consequences. The sections on impacts to fish and wildlife should discuss impacts from vegetation removal (both permanent and temporary), filling or degradation of wetlands, interruption of wildlife migration corridors, and disturbance from trucks and other machinery during construction and/or operation. These sections should also analyze possible impacts to streams from construction of outfall structures, pipeline crossings, and filling. Impacts on water quality, including nutrient loading, sedimentation, toxics, biological oxygen demand, and temperature in receiving waters should also be discussed in detail along with the resultant effects on fish and aquatic invertebrates. Discussion of indirect impacts to fish,.wildlife, and their habitats, including impacts from growth induced by the proposed project, should also be addressed in the document. The impacts of each alternative should be discussed in sufficient detail to allow comparison between the alternatives. The cumulative impacts of the project, when viewed in conjunction with other past, existing, and foreseeable projects, need to be addressed. Cumulative impacts to fish, wildlife, wetlands and other habitats, and water quality should be included. Mitigation Planning. Under provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, the Service advises the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on projects involving dredge and fill activities in "waters of the United States", of which wetlands and some riparian habitats are subcategories. Since portions of this proposal may ultimately require a Corps permit, the Service will subsequently be involved under the Coordination Act. Therefore, if you have not done so already, we suggest that you or your representative consult the Corps regarding onsite wetlands and related habitats that may'fall under their jurisdiction, and include this information in the draft document. When reviewing Corps public notices, the Service generally does not object to projects meeting the following criteria: 2 3. They are ecologically sound; The least environmentally damaging reasonable alternative is selected; Every reasonable effort is made to avoid or minimize damage or loss of fish and wildlife resources and uses; 4. All important recommended means and measures have been adopted, with guaranteed __ . implementation to satisfactorily compensate for unavoidable damage or loss consistent with the appropriate mitigation goal; and 5. . For wetlands and shallow, water habitats, the proposed activity is clearly water dependent and there is a demonstrated public need. The Service may recommend the "no project" alternative for those projects which do not meet all of the above criteria, and where there is likely to be a significant fish:and wildlife resource loss. . When projects impacting waterways or wetlands are deemed acceptable to the Service, we, recommend frill mitigation for any impacts to fish and wildlife. The Council on Environmental Quality regulations for implementing the National Environmental Policy. Act define mitigation to include: 1) Avoiding the impact; 2) minimizing the impact; 3) rectifying the impact; 4) reducing or eliminating the impact over time; and 5) compensating for impacts. The Service supports and adopts this definition of mitigation and considers the specific elements to represent the desirable sequence of steps in the mitigation planning process. Accordingly, we maintain that the best way to mitigate for adverse biological impacts is to avoid them altogether. The document should describe all measures proposed to avoid, minimize, or compensate for impacts to fish and wildlife and their habitats. The measures should be presented in as much detail as possible to allow us to evaluate their probable effectiveness. 3 !. S. Because of their very high value 'to migratory birds, and their ever-increasing scarcity in California, our mitigation goal for wetlands (including riparian and riverine wetlands) is no net loss of in-kind habitat value or acreage (whichever is greater). For unavoidable impacts, to determine the.mitigation credits available for a given mitigation project, we evaluate what conditions would exist on the mitigation site in the future in the absence of the mitigation actions, and compare those conditions to the conditions we would expect to develop on the site with implementation of the mitigation plan. Mitigation habitat should be equal to or exceed the quality of the habitat to be affected by. the project. Baseline information would need to be gathered at the impact site to be able to quantify this goal in terms of plant species diversity, shrub and tree canopy cover, stems/acre, tree height, . etc. The ultimate success of the project;should be judged according to these sante measurements at the mitigation.site." Criteria should be developed for assessing the progress of the project during its developmental stages as well. Assessment criteria should include rates of plant growth, plant health, and evidence of natural reproduction. Success criteria should be geared toward equaling or exceeding the quality of the highest quality habitat to be affected. In other words, the mitigation effort would be deemed a success in relation to this goal if the mitigation site met or exceeded habitat• measurements at a "model" site (plant cover, density, species diversity, etc.). The plan should present the proposed ground elevations at the mitigation site, along with elevations in the adjacent areas. A comparison of the soils of the proposed mitigation and adjacent areas should also be included in•the plan, and a determination made as to the suitability '. of the soils to support habitats consistent with the mitigation goals. Because wetland ecosystems are driven by suitable hydrological conditions, additional information must be developed on the predicted hydrology of the mitigation site. The. plan should describe the depth of the water table, and the frequency, duration., areal extent, and depth of flooding which would occur on the site. The hydrologic information should include an analysis of extreme conditions (drought, flooding) as well as typical conditions. i The plan must include a timeframe for implementing the mitigation in relation to the proposed project. We recommend that mitigation be initiated prior to 'the onset of construction. If there will be a substantial time lag between project construction and completion of the mitigation, a'net loss of habitat values would result, and more mitigation would be required to offset this loss. ' Generally, monitoring of the mitigation site should occur annually for at least the first five years, biennially for years 6 through 11, and every five years thereafter until the mitigation has met. all success criteria. Remediation efforts and additional monitoring should occur if success, criteria are not met during the first five years. Some projects will require. monitoring throughout the life of the project. Reports should be prepared after each monitoring session. jh: 4 The plan should require the preparation of "as -built" plans. Such plans provide valuable information, especially if the mitigation effort fails. Similarly, a "time -zero" report should be mandated. This report would describe exactly what was done during the construction, of the mitigation project, what problems were encountered, and what corrections or modifications to the plans were -undertaken. The plan should detail how the site is to be maintained during the mitigation establishment period, and how long the establishment period'will be. It will also be important to note what entity will perform the maintenance activities, and what entity will ultimately own and manage the site. In addition, a mechanism to fund the. maintenance and management of the site should be established and identified. A permanent easement should be placed on the property used for the mitigation that would preclude incompatible activities on the site in perpetuity. Finally, in some cases, a performance bond may be required as part of the mitigation plan. The amount of the bond should be sufficient.to cover the costs of designing and implementing an adequate mitigation plan (and purchasing land if needed) should the proposed plan not succeed.
