The proposed amendment to Chapter 4-Animals of the Butte County Code will add language that will clarify all animals included in the exotic animal category are required to be held within a fenced area in order to protect the animals and the safety of the public. Additionally, the Department learned that during the last update of the animal control ordinance, language regarding fair hearing processes dealing with kennel licenses was inadvertently left out.

PAGE 7 February 28, 2012 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA -FEBRUARY 28, 2012 Pusuc 3.20* Authorization to Advertise for the Construction of Landfill Gas Wells at the Neal Road WORKS RecyclinE and Waste Facility -The Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility is in compliance with surface emission monitoring regulations for the closed section of the landfill. With the implementation of California's AB32 Landfill Methane Rule, the detection threshold has been lowered for which compliance is required and a requirement added to install a gas collection system in active waste cells that contain waste greater than 2-years old. Sampling in the active area suggests that surface emissions may be detected above the new compliance threshold. As apro-active measure, staff has submitted a landfill gas collection system expansion design to the California Air Resources Board, thereby postponing the requirement to monitor surface emissions in the active waste cells until the landfill gas collection system has been expanded. To comply with the AB32 Landfill Methane Rule, the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility needs to install additional landfill gas collection wells within 18 months of the California Air Resources Board's approval. Staff will install the additional gas collection wells, upon Board approval to take advantage of royalties from the sale of electricity that will be generated by the additional landfill gas produced by these new wells. Staff will return to the Board at a later date for consideration of award of contract. The engineer's estimate is $275,000.

The department is required to report to the Board of Supervisors each February on the status of groundwater conditions and the Basin Management Objective (BMO) program. The 2011 Groundwater Status Report includes the BMO report, data on groundwater conditions, a summary of hydrologic conditions and a description of the monitoring network. In previous years, the BMO report was submitted as a separate document. In 2011, the BMO Ordinance was amended to allow for the incorporation of the BMO report into the Groundwater Status Report. The BMO documents for each of the 16 sub-inventory units include groundwater level trend summaries, hydrographs depicting groundwater levels over time and a comparison of monitoring data to BMO levels. The BMO Ordinance specifies the methodologies for BMOs (i.e., desirable groundwater conditions) and Alert Stages when BMOs are not reached. In 2011, hydrologic conditions improved after four below-normal water years. With favorable hydrologic conditions, groundwater levels continued to improve throughout Butte County. The number of wells that reached a BMO Alert Stage declined in 2011. No evidence of saline intrusion or land subsidence were identified.
