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.
Sincerely,
4.JIM .CLAW SON

Dear Mr. Dorso:
TOO
1 waslad`to meet with you, Mr. Harrison, and your client on November 8, 2004,
g
916/324-255s
to discuss this project. As you know, mining projects on Williamson Act
contracted land pose unique and oftentimes difficult issues to resolve.

i have thoroughly reviewed the project and your position on the 45 -acre
°
processing area. Due to the unique circumstances of this project, the
ARNOLD '
Department of Conservation has determined that the underlying contractual
.
S C N W A R Z E N E 6 6 E R
commitment to preserve prime land will not be significantly impaired if the
`' =" N ° Racreage
proposed for the processing facllil-y� is Immediately non -renewed
(Government Code section 51245and the Reclamation Plan for theprojpct
reflects reclamation of that acreage to prime agricultural Land. This
determination ls•conditioned upon the partial cancellation of 106 acres that will
be utilized for mining during the next ten years and the non -renewal of the
remainder of the acreage proposed for mining that is restricted by a Williamson
Act contract.
I appreciate your willingness, and that of your client, to find a workable solution '
to the issues involved so that the project may.proceed without compromising the
integrity of the,Wilfiamson Act contracts both at issue here,and across the state.
