Your records and the notices of location which have been recorded contain different versions of the spelling of -the names of .the persons involved. Therefore, as you will note, these different spellings of the names have all been checked. As we -have discussed, it would appear that the Notices of Location were not timely filed. It would be appreciated if you would seek an official determination by the appropriate person within your agency and notify the purported claimants if in fact their claims are invalid due to the lack of timely recording of the Notices of.Location. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions regarding the above.. Very truly yours, SUSAN MINASIAN Butte County Counsel /1 By I :GSC Neil H.

Box 249 Forest Ranch, CA. 95942 Dear Mr. Anderson: BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT Redding Resource Area 355 Hemsted Drive Redding, California 96002-0910 OCT 2 3 ?991 PWDDEE IN M arca' IN REPLY REFER T0: CA -059 CA -059-91-22-N 3809 Thank you for meeting again with my staff 'on October 17, 1991 at the site of your proposed mining activities, 43 CFR 3809 Notice # CA -059-91-22-N. At that time they followed .your proposed road alignment down from the ridge top, into Little Chico Creek canyon. The road alignment, as it has been modified during this field visit, now appears to be satisfactory. The discussed and .agreed -upon changes to your original proposal are as follows: 1. Water bars and berm cutouts on your existingridge top road will be installed as we discussed and where they were marked on the ground. 2. Keep the ridge top road on top of the ridge or to the east of the ridge top. 3. From the switchback off of the ridge top, drop the road faster than you had flagged, it, to a gentle grade immediately before the first drainage crossing. The average grade for this segment should be approximately 12%. 4. This first drainage crossing requires at least an 18" diameter culvert. 5. From this first drainage, stay below the original,flag line down to the open spur ridge. 6. Zigzag,down the spur ridge as we -had flagged, doing minimal blade work. 7. Follow the realigned flag line from here down. 8. The second drainage will require at least a 24" culvert. 9. The third and fourth drainage crossings will require at least 18" diameter culverts. 10. The end of the road will be above the cabin at the discussed location, -and will consist of an adequate turnaround. 11. Loose soil slopes will be seeded, fertilized, and mulched, as needed, to prevent erosion and soil loss. Page 1 of 2 Please review the "Minimum Standards For a Single Lane Road", and "Standards For Mining, Construction, and Reclamation in the Redding Resource Area", which we sent.to you with our September 13, 1991 letter. All specifications, other than road width and slough widening, must be followed in order to'avoid unnecessary or undue degradation. Side cast material may not enter Little Chico Creek, as this would be a violation of Federal and State Regulations. We have recently been contacted by Mr. Pat Gantt, the landowner adjoining the public land where your proposed mining operation is located. Mr. Gantt informs me that he is rescinding your right to access across his private property. Private landowner, Mike Westlake has also rescinded your right to cross his land. If this is the case, the construction of your proposed mining road would serve no purpose as you would have no legal way on to the public land. Construction of the road without access across private land would therefore be considered unnecessary or undue degradation, as defined in the 43 CFR.3809 Regulations, and is prohibited by those regulations. You may not continue construction of this road without proof of legal access across the effected private property. You are still responsible for the maintenance and eventual reclamation of the road you have already constructed. Any questions on this matter should be addressed to our geologist, Ron Rogers, at 916-246-5325. 'Sincerely, Mark T.

' `It appears that due to an archaic federal mining law which dates back 'to 1872, the Bureau of Land Management may be forced to grant access through their property ' so the individual in question can reach his mining claim. Once he has settled in (squatted) on this federal land, he does not have to comply with our local fire, sanitation, building,etc., codes. To top if off, he also does not have to work r his mining claim! Any help you can extend to deny this individual's the very least, we feel honored. in convincing the Bureau of Land Management request will be greatly appreciated. At our request for a public hearing, should be r/ Jackie L. Schimmel cc: Mark Morse, Bureau of Land Management D �n. �0 �. SEP 1 2 1991 BUTTE CO. PLANNING DEPARi£,;C,::, , OROVILLE, CALIFQ►�'l,?� .• September 6, 1991 • Raymond and Jackie Schimmel 14836 Eagle Ridge Drive Forest Ranch, CA 95942. (916) 343-3386 Mark Morse, Area Manager Bureau of Land Management 355 Hemsted Drive Redding, CA 96002 Dear Mr. Morse: We live in a planned unit development called Humboldt Highlands. .'This development is located on Highway 32 approximately 2 miles below ":,Forest Ranch and runs along the western rim of Little Chico Creek 'Canyon. I n addition -to developed building sites and common areas, ' ``'Humboldt Highlands undeveloped property extends down the canyon to Little Chico Creek and }_•��,,� �,: , in some places, up the east side of the canyon for a short distance. Because of the fire hazard presented by the canyon's thick, often very dry underbrush, the project's developer and each homeowner have been required to implement and maintain fuel reduction programs to minimize fire hazard. Our C.C.& R.'s require that all building construction utilize fire resistant building materials and landscaping to minimize fire hazard. Our homeowners association has also established water storage tanks with fire department connections which may be used to preserve life and property in case of fire. We are taking the time to explain all of this to you because a -situation has come to our attention which could easily undermine all of the positive steps we have taken to protect our property. We have been told that an individual has obtained rights to an existing mining claim that is situated on Little Chico Creek below our development. This individual has secured permission to cross private property which allows him access to Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land on the eastern canyon opposite our development. He is currently in the process of securing permission to build an access road through the BLM property mentioned above. It Is our understanding that if this permission is granted the individual may build a road down the side of the canyon to the mining claim and establish "squatters rights" to an abandoned cabin located at the mining site. We also understand that this Individual would not be held accountable by the BLM to meet either local county or state fire codes. • page two Mark Morse September 6, 1991 E We feel this is an alarming situation, and we are asking the Bureau of Land Management to deny this individual's request for the following reasons: 1. The potential for a significantly devastating fire to rage through Little Chico Creek Canyon will be magnified if an individual is allowed to settle in the canyon and is not required to meet any minimal fire safety codes. 2. Considering the current attitude of our society regarding the preservation of federal land, it would go against public sentiment to allow an individual to scar the eastern side of Little Chico Creek Canyon with a road which would have to zigzag across the canyon wall on its descent to Little Chico Creek. 3. Once such a road is established on federal land, it will be accessible to the public. This means that currently protected property would be subjected to public misuse. 4. Little Chico Creek is, as its name implies, little. It is a fragile creek that is usually dry during the summer months. We doubt that the creek and its surrounding habitat can handle the impact of a serious mining operation and/or extensive use by the general public. 6. Although we do not know the individual who is asking for permission to access BLM property, we are concerned about some of his actions which have been observed by'us and our neighbors. First, we have been informed that he built an Illegal fire while working on his access road after all fire permits were lifted earlier this summer. Second, we observed him bulldozing on BLM property the day after he was cited by one of your rangers and told to desist work until he had secured permission to access your land. On that same day, one of our neighbors observed him bulldoze a large boulder over the side of the canyon. These actions show a lack of proper respect for fire safety and a disregard for authority. We do not feel that such an Individual should be allowed unrestricted access to public land. G. The portion of Little Chico Creek under discussion is a popular location for marijuana growers. In fact, we have witnessed two drug raids in this area in the last two years. It would be foolish to make it easier for unsavory drug growers/dealers to access this remote area by providing them with a road through BLM property. Please consider our following requests: 1) Do not grant this Individual the right to build a road through this BLM property. • page 3 Mark Morse September 6, 1991 • 2) If you plan to honor this Individual's request, please have the courtesy to provide a public hearing before doing so. All Forest Ranch residents should be informed of this situation and given a chance to voice their questions and/or concerns. 3) Please provide us with documentation which shows that the Bureau of Land Management does, in fact, own all of the land in question. When we bought our property, the developer told us that the Humboldt Highlands development went down the western canyon wall, across Little Chico Creek, and half way up the eastern canyon wall. You can imagine our disbelief when we were recently told that the lower eastern canyon is BLM property. You certainly cannot be held accountable for a developer who either knowingly or unknowlingly gave us misinformation, but we do feel that you should be able to provide us with maps that properly define the property lines in question. Please share our concerns and comments with the powers -that -be before the Bureau takes action on the request to grant this individual access to BLM property in Little Chico Creek Canyon.

T : Environmental Impact: Saturday, we watched the road being cut with huge boulders bouncing down the canyon. Fire Threat: When our home was constructed at Humboldt very :Hig hland it was done with strict fire codes - from materials fused to build, to cleaning the area of brush around our home, and maintaining water storage for the fire hydrants. We now are faced with someone living in an old mining cabin, surrounded by trees without adequate water to put out a fire. This same someone last month came onto the B.L.M. property with a. chain saw and cleared area where he is now cutting the road. At this time a campfire was built in this dry tinderbox area, when all permits had been suspended. This was a complete disregard of the law by a totally irresponsible someone. Sanitation: To an already fragile stream, the impact of lack of proper sanitation to the wildlife and people in homes down stream is uncountable. Mining the Claim: Again to this fragile stream, can we really afford to disrupt natures way? Use of this Road: Can we be assured, once this road is completed that this does ' not open this area to all kinds of distruction. It ' is beyond, our comprehension that in this day and age, someone -could be grnted permission which would result in such danger to - the total area. ; Thank you for your , concern and prompt attention to this matter. Please take whatever action is necessary- to stop this travesty. Mari and Lou Mozzini { M Sen. John Seymour Rep. Wally. Herger - State Sen. Mike Thompson Assemblyman -Chris ,'Chandler - `.
