A RESOLUTION OF THE BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ADOPTING AN ADDENDUM TO THE INITIAL
STUDY/ MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR A REVISED BUTTE COUNTY SUPPLEMENTAL JAIL FACILITY
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, the original Butte County Jail was constructed in 1964; and
W IEREAS, the current jail facility no longer meets the operational needs of Butte County, being
outdated and inefficient due to its linear design; and
WHEREAS, In 2013, the Sheriffs Office commissioned a facility-related Needs Assessment which
identified shortcomings of the existing main jail facility and recommended the construction of a supplemental
jail facility; and
WHEREAS, passage of the Assembly Bill 109 program in 2011 has added additional inmates into the
already crowded Butte County Correctional System; and
WHEREAS, the Senate Bill 863 program has been established to provide counties a funding source to
update facilities; and
WHEREAS, Butte County is the lead agency for the Butte County Supplemental Jail Facility Project per
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors considered and adopted an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative
Declaration in accordance with the CEQA for the Butte County Supplemental Jail Facility Project on July 29,
2014 (State Clearinghouse No. 2014052090, or alS/MND"); and
WHEREAS, an Addendum to the 2014 IS/MND has been prepared to assess a changed location
associated with the Supplemental Jail Facility's potential impacts on the environment; and
W EREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was held on June 23, 2015; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has considered all public comments received.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Butte, State of California:
1. Construction and operation of the Revised Supplemental Jail Facility would not have a significant effect
on the environment at its new location north of the existing jail, with implementation of mitigation
measures identified in the 2014 IS/MND, with the exception of Mitigation Measure #6 which was
found to be not applicable to the new project site.
2. The Revised Supplemental Jail Facility entails a relatively minor construction project that, when
operating, would accommodate about a ten percent (10%) increase to the current average County Jail
population and staff;
3. Substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken have not
occurred since the 2014 IS/MND was adopted on July 29, 2014;
4. No new information of substantial importance has been identified, which was not known and could not
have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time of MND adoption; and
5. Construction and operation of the Revised Supplemental Jail Facility at its new location north of the
existing Jail would not result in any new or substantially more severe significant effects than would
occur with the Original Project and no additional mitigation measures are required. An Addendum to
the 2014 IS/MND is the appropriate document and recirculation of the adopted IS/MND is not
necessary as the project does not have the potential to result in:
a. Any of the conditions described in Section 15162 and 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines that would
require the preparation of a subsequent Environmental Impact Report or negative declaration
(Section F. of the Addendum);
b. An impact upon agricultural resources, or mineral resources;
c. A significant impact upon biological resources, geology and soils (geologic hazards), land use,
population and housing, public services, recreation, transportation/traffic, and utilities and
services; and
d. A significant impact with existing mitigation incorporated for aesthetics/visual resources
(nighttime glare), air quality (fugitive dust and diesel emissions), cultural resources (subsurface
resources), greenhouse gas emissions (diesel emissions), hydrology and water quality
(stormwater runoff and adequate drainage), or noise (construction noise).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Butte County Board of Supervisors hereby affirms the following mitigation
measures for the Supplemental Jail Facility, as revised:
Mitigation Measure#1-Aesthetics (Minimize Off-Site Glare from Exterior Lighting);
Mitigation Measure#2-Air Quality (Ensure Adequate Dust Control);
Mitigation Measure#3 -Air Quality (Minimize Combustion Emissions from Heavy-Duty Construction
Equipment)
Mitigation Measure#4—Cultural Resources (Protection of Cultural Resources Found During Work);
Mitigation Measure#5—Hydrology/Water Quality (Prepare Low Impact Development Plan to Manage
Post-Construction Stormwater Runoff);
Mitigation Measure#7—Noise (Limit Work to Daytime Hours and Provide Best Available Noise
Suppression).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Butte County Board of Supervisors approves filing of an application for
funding to construct the proposed Supplemental Jail Facility.
