3.52* Water Advisory Committee Appointment - Durham/Dayton Sub-inventory Unit - The Basin
Management Objective ordinance (Chapter 33A of the Butte County Code) contains
provisions regarding the membership of the Water Advisory Committee (WAC) and how
its members are appointed. The ordinance states that the WAC shall be appointed by the
Board and be comprised of area-specific members with one member appointed from
each defined sub-inventory unit (SIU) within the Sacramento Valley Groundwater Basin
portion of the County. Durham/Dayton is one of the 16 sub-inventory units defined in the
Butte County Inventory and Analysis Report (March 2001) and listed in the ordinance. To
be considered for appointment, candidates must reside, own property or have their
principal place of business within the SIU which they would represent, be willing to serve
in a voluntary capacity, and be nominated by the citizens of the SIU. The Durham/Dayton
SIU has not had a representative on the WAC since December 12, 2012 when Raymond
Antonowich resigned. On June 24, 2014, Mark Kimmelshue, a resident and landowner in
Durham, CA nominated Fred Montgomery of Almont Orchards to serve as the
Durham/Dayton representative on the WAC action requested - APPOINT FRED
MONTGOMERY TO THE WATER ADVISORY COMMITTEE AS THE DURHAM/DAYTON SUB-

3.53* Agreements with the State Department of Water Resources and California Water Service
Company, Oroville for Conveyance of PG&E Water from the Miocene Canal Through State
Water Project (SWP) Facilities - California Water Service Company, Oroville (CWS)
currently purchases a portion of its water supply from the Pacific Gas and Electric
Company (PG&E). This water flows from the West Branch of the Feather River to the
Miocene Canal and is ultimately delivered to the CWS treatment plant on the Thermalito
Powers Canal. This conveyance system produces turbid and warm water, which is costly
to treat into drinking water. This project would move 3,000 acre feet of the PG&E
contract water on an annual basis through Lake Oroville to the Thermalito Powers Canal
to improve the quality of the raw water. As the SWP contractor, the County is eligible to
convey non-project water through SWP facilities by virtue of Article 55 of their water
supply contract with the State Department of Water Resources (DWR). At their June 24,
2014 meeting the Board of Supervisors reviewed a Negative Declaration under the
California Environmental Quality Act, which evaluated potential impacts of this project.
No comments were submitted through this process and the Board approved the Negative
Declaration and filed the associated Notice of Determination. The action requested of the
Board is to approve the agreements with DWR and the CWS, which would define the
terms of this project and allow up to 3,000 acre feet of water to be conveyed through the
SWP facilities on an annual basis. The water would be metered into the reservoir at
PG&E's Lime Saddle Power Plant and then metered out of the reservoir at the current
out-take facilities located at the Thermalito Powers Canal. This action would conserve
water currently lost through the Miocene Canal system and also reduce maintenance
costs on the canal, which are passed along to the ratepayers in the Oroville area. This
agreement will result in $48,000 per year in revenue for Butte County - action requested -

3.54* Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) - On July 29, 2014, the comment period will end on
the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) and the Environmental Impact
Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) documents. The documents, consisting
of nearly 34,000 pages, describe the project design, implementation, cost, alternatives
and adaptive strategy. The BDCP is a Habitat Conservation Plan and Natural Community
Conservation Plan that must meet the standards of the federal Endangered Species Act
ore
than 50 species of fish, wildlife and plants over 50 years. The plan includes 22 separate
activities, including operation with new diversion and conveyance facilities of the State
Water Project (SWP) and Central Valley Project (CVP), which draw water from the Delta.
The California Department of Water Resources, which operates the SWP, will apply for
state and federal permits for the plan while the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which
operates the CVP, will seek coverage under a separate provision of the federal
Endangered Species Act. The most notable aspects of the BDCP are the two 37 foot
diameter tunnels and habitat restoration activities. The actions are intended to reverse
the decline of native fish populations in the Delta and provide reliable water deliveries for
water contractors south of the Delta. The BDCP has been in various stages of
development for almost eight years. On August 12, 2012 the Board of Supervisors
adopted a resolution opposing the BDCP. The final draft BDCP and its EIR/EIS did not
address the County's concerns that included failing to assess the socioeconomic and
environmental impacts to the region. On June 4, 2014 the Butte County Water
Commission recommended that the Board of Supervisors send a letter voicing concerns

emergency and issued an executive order. On January 31, 2014 Butte County activated the
2014 Drought Emergency Operation Center. In 2004, Butte County adopted the Drought
Preparedness and Mitigation Plan (Resolution 04-200) that created the Drought Task Force
(DTF). The charge of the DTF is to monitor hydrologic conditions throughout the water year
and report the findings to the Water Commission and the Board of Supervisors. The last
DTF meeting was held on May 20, 2014 and was reported to the Board at their June 24,
2014 meeting. Since the last DTF report, two drought issues have arisen. On July 15, 2014
the State Water Resources Control Board adopted emergency regulations requiring
everyone in California to follow specific water conservation practices and urban water
suppliers to increase the tracking and reporting of water use. The emergency regulations
prohibit the direct application of water to any hard surface (e.g., driveways, patios) for
washing, watering of outdoor landscapes that cause runoff, using a hose to wash an
automobile, unless the hose is fitted with a shut-off nozzle and using potable water in a
fountain or decorative water feature, unless the water is re-circulated. Violations of
prohibited activities are considered infractions and are punishable by fines of $500 for
each day. The emergency regulations direct local agencies and counties to enforce the
requirements. However, the discretion on how to structure the compliance program is left
to local agencies. The second drought issue is that the incidents of water supply reliability
problems mostly from private residential wells have increased. An overview of the
response to water supply reliability problems will be presented action requested -

Acknowledgment Standards for Indian Tribes - The Department of Interior (DOI) has
recently proposed changes to the Acknowledgment Rule (Proposed Rule Changes) for the
administrative process to federally acknowledge American Indian tribes. These proposed
changes would alter the mandatory criteria, reduce the periods of federal evaluation of
tribal identities, and generally lessen the standards for federal acknowledgment that have
been in place for the last 36 years. In addition, if adopted, the proposed changes may also
allow previously denied petitioners an opportunity to repetition for acknowledgment

AM
Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider Grading Permit, GRD13-0001
(Travis Curran). The Grading Permit application was filed with the County pursuant to
Butte County Code, Chapter 13, Article I, for past grading activities that resulted in the
disturbance of 1.5 acres of a 9.73 acre property, and the total excavation of 800 cubic
yards of material (450 cubic yards of cut and 350 cubic yards of fill). The project site is
located at 65 Wind Ridge Drive, off Big Bend Road, in the community of Parkhill/Big Bend,
and is situated in the Foothill Residential - 5 acre density (FR-5) zone. The Planning
Commission denied Grading Permit GRD13-0001, and that denial has been appealed to the
Board of Supervisors by the applicant as provided by Sections 14-14 and 24-267 of Butte
County Code action requested - ADOPT THE NEGATIVE DECLARATION PURSUANT TO THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA), AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION

9:30.. 5.02* Public Hearing - Supplemental Jail Facility Environmental Document - Construction of a
AM
Supplemental Jail Facility is proposed in response to the increase in inmates and parolees
transferred from the State of California to Butte County custody as a result of California
Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109-the Public Safety Realignment Act or the Realignment Act).
Inmates and parolees transferred to Butte County custody as part of the AB 109 process
have been and will be relocating in Butte County regardless of whether the proposed
facility is built; the existing County Jail and associated program facilities are outdated and
inadequate for the current population, let alone the increase that is occurring with ongoing
implementation of the Realignment Act. The County is therefore considering an application
to the State for funding to build the proposed facility to provide modern and much needed
space for expanded inmate programs, detention, and administrative functions. In order to
apply for said funding, the County has prepared a mitigated negative declaration. The
mitigated negative declaration document is available at
http://www.buttecounty.net/dds/Planning/CEQA.aspx. The proposed facility would be
constructed on an approximately 65,000 square foot (1.5 acre) pad within an undeveloped
6.4 acre parcel between the existing jail and one of the Coun-voltaic solar arrays.
The two-story facility would be approximately 75,000 square feet with 256 beds and six
welfare, life skills and mental health programs to assist their transition to civilian life. As
many as 198 beds in the existing jail not consistent with contemporary rehabilitation plans
would be decommissioned. There would be a net increase of 58 beds or inmates over the
existing population and minimal additional staff. The proposed facility will be consistent
with Butte County's General Plan and the recently adopted Climate Action Plan action
requested - 1) OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER PUBLIC TESTIMONY; 2) ADOPT
RESOLUTION REGARDING THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND MITIGATION
MONITORING PLAN PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
(CEQA) FOR THE BUTTE COUNTY SUPPLEMENTAL JAIL FACILITY PROJECT; 3) DIRECT STAFF
TO FILE A NOTICE OF DETERMINATION WITH THE COUNTY CLERK; AND 4) DIRECT STAFF TO
PREPARE AN APPLICATION FOR FUNDING WHEN A FUNDING PROGRAM BECOMES

AM
(CDBG) Activities for FY 2013-14 - Butte County has two active Standard Agreements with
the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for grants managed
by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, as well as an active Program
Income Revolving Account. Grant recipients are required to collect information annually on
a Grantee Performance Report (GPR). For the purposes of the GPR, a report period is
defined as the fiscal year from July 1 to June 30th. HCD requires the GPR report and
related accomplishments to be discussed in a public hearing before the Board of
Supervisors. The FY 2013-14 GPRs are presented for the following CDBG grants and
activities: 1) 10-DRI-6785: Disaster Recovery Initiative (DRI) Program grant. Activities
include: housing rehabilitation and improvements to Concow Road; and 2) 12-CDBG-8374:
CDBG grant. Activities include: micro-enterprise technical assistance; and 3) Program
Income: Activities include: housing rehabilitation. Staff recommends the Board of
Supervisors accept the reports as information and hear public comment regarding the

AM
13 and Replacing it with a New Article I of Chapter 13 of the Butte County Code - At the
May 6, 2014 Board meeting, staff presented information on discussions with local grading
contractors about the proposed changes to the County's grading ordinance. Staff
supported a number of the contractors proposed changes. One issue was relaxing the
grading plan requirement but that raised the issue of who could prepare the grading plan.
Based on research done by County Counsel it is clear that only Civil Engineers registered in
the State can prepare grading plans. On May 22, 2014, the Planning Commission heard and
denied a grading permit application for a site that had been red tagged for violations of the
current grading ordinance.
denial) The Commission had concerns with the lack of penalties in the current ordinance.
The Commission asked that an item be brought back to the Commission at its next meeting
to discuss penalties and possible recommendations to the Board. The outcome of the
Commissions discussion resulted in the following recommendations to the Board: 1)
Utilize existing Chapter 41 of the Butte County Code to prevent the issuance of further
permits or entitlements; 2) Modify the grading ordinance to prevent the issuance of any
permit or entitlement until grading violations are remedied; and 3) Modify the grading
ordinance to enable the recovery of investigative fees for sites graded without permits
