School in Oroville, Ridgeview Continuation School in Magalia and Durham High School in

WATER 3.48* Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District Water Transfer Program - The Glenn-Colusa Irrigation
AND RESOURCE District (GCID) proposes to adopt a Negative Declaration for its 2013 Water Transfer
CONSERVATION Program. The transfer program involves the transfer of 5,000 acre feet to south of Delta
water contractors and the substitution with groundwater from wells within GCID. The
comment period ends on June 11, 2013. Although the GCID 2013 Water Transfer
Program is not likely to impact Butte County, the increasing reliance on out-of-basin
water transfer programs by south of Delta water agencies may pose long term risks. The
timing of the transfer programs is troubling since some locations in Butte County have
recorded historically low groundwater elevations. Adequate monitoring, mitigation
measures and improved scientific certainty of the long term implications of out-of-basin
water transfer programs must be established. Without adequate science on the impacts
to the basin and appropriate limitations on transfers, Butte County will oppose regional
out-of-basin groundwater substitution transfer programs. The GCID Water Transfer
Program is a component of the Bureau of Reclamation's proposed 2013 Water Transfer
Program. The Department sent a letter stating concerns with out-of-basin water transfer
programs based on the policy direction provided by the Board of Supervisor on May 7,
2013. Butte County sent a letter to the Butte Water District opposing their water transfer
program. The draft letter to GCID reflects the position of Butte County to oppose out-of-
basin groundwater substitution transfer programs — action requested - APPROVE LETTER

9:50 A.M. 5.03* Public Hearings-Actions Related to the Sierra Moon Subdivision
A. Resolution to Vacate a Portion of a Drainage Easement in the Sierra Moon Subdivision -
On May 21, 2013, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 13-077 setting a public
hearing for 9:50 a.m. on June 11, 2013. The public hearing is for the vacation
(abandonment) of a portion of a drainage easement in the Sierra Moon Subdivision in
north Chico. The easement runs along the westerly boundary of the subdivision
between Keefer Slough and Mud Creek. This hearing has been properly noticed and
posted pursuant to Chapter 3 of Part 3 of Division 9 of the California Streets and
Highways Code, commencing with Section 8320. The easement is currently 82 feet
wide and the applicants have requested that the width be reduced to 30 feet, which
the Public Works Department has determined is acceptable. The easement runs along
the westerly side of the following APNs: 047-710-016, 019, 021 and 022; and 047-770-
001, 015, 016, 017, 025, 026 and 027. The easement was the result of a development
agreement between the County and the developers of the Sierra Moon Subdivision. As
a result, the development agreement will also need to be amended to reflect the
proposed change in width. The request for action related to the development
agreement amendment will be considered under Item B of this agenda item (below) -
action requested - 1) FIND THAT THE PORTION OF THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT
DESCRIBED IN THE NOTICE OF HEARING IS UNNECESSARY FOR PRESENT OR

B. Amendment to the 1998 Stephens Development Agreement (RA13-0002 Stephen
Schuster) - This amendment to the development agreement by and between Butte
County and Douglas N. Gunn, Trustee of the Robert and Ann Stephens Charitable
Remainder Unitrust, Et al. would allow for the partial abandonment of an existing 82-
foot wide drainage easement. The abandonment request is to reduce the easement's
width from 82 feet to 30 feet wide. The drainage easement was created to allow for
the potential diversion of flood waters from Keefer Slough to Mud Creek. The drainage
easement was not conditioned as part of the Sierra Moon Subdivision, but established
by an offer of dedication to, and accepted by, Butte County as a result of the
development agreement. The drainage easement is located along the western portion
of 11 parcels, including a number of parcels in Phase I of the Sierra Moon Subdivision.
The amendment to the development agreement is required in conjunction with the
proposed partial abandonment. Exhibit B of the amendment identifies an 82-foot
drainage easement. With the partial abandonment, Exhibit B, along with the legal
description for the drainage easement, will need to be amended to reflect the new
width of 30 feet. At a public hearing on April 25, 2013, the Planning Commission found
the proposed abandonment to be consistent with the General Plan and North Chico
Specific Plan recommending amendment of the development agreement by changing
the Landowner Obligations from dedication of an 82-foot wide drainage easement to a
30-foot wide drainage easement - action requested - 1) FIND THIS PROJECT IS
CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
(CEQA) PROVISIONS UNDER SECTION 15305 OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES; 2) ADOPT THE
ORDINANCE APPROVING THE AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
