Mr. Stephen Hackney Butte County Department of Development Services 7 County Center Drive Oroville; CA 95965 RE: M&T CHICO RANCH, MINE, Dear Mr. Hackney: • Thank you for the opportunity to review the Evaluation of Environmental Impact report for the above referenced project. PG&E owns and operates a gas transmission line within the proposed project limits. As such, there may be a conflict with parts of the project with our facilities. Therefore, we feel that item 12a should be revised to "Potentially Significant. unless Mitigation Incorporated" If there is a conflict between the operation of the pit and the gas line, the owner/developer will be responsible for the relocation of our line and all associated cost, along with the acquisition of new rights of ways. Also as off road truck/scrappers, etc. can be extremely heavy, we would need the load limits to determine if there could be possible damage to our line. Any use of our easement would require the review and consent of operating departments., Upon review a Consent Agreement would be prepared if appropriate: If you have any questions, please call me at 894-4756.
