Subject: Petition for Additional Maintenance of the Oro Quincy Detour
Attachments: Petition for Bypass Road.pdf
Good afternoon,
Attached is a copy of a petition delivered by Candace Grubbs, regarding a request for additional maintenance of the Oro
Quincy Bypass(French Creek Road and Forest Highway 22N49). The total distance of this detour is about 5.25 miles,
with about 2.4 miles of this County owned and maintained. The remainder(FH 22N49) is owned and maintained by
Plumas National Forest.
I field reviewed yesterday,there are about a dozen spots that are somewhat rougher than we would like, but we were
able to hold an average speed of about 15 miles,an hour,with the total travel time on the detour of about 20
minutes. This was driving very cautiously, and slowing down for all the obvious bumps. The worst section was in the
PNF maintained area,the County maintained French Creek Road while it had a few bumps,was not what I would
consider actionable for summertime gravel road maintenance.
This petition requests that our Department grade, water, add additional gravel, and apply a dust retardant.

To: Butte County Board of Supervisors,
Butte County Public Works Director Dennis Schmidt
The current situation of the Oro/Quincy highway detour area is a public hazard,
detrimental to all cars and pickups that pass over it and is a liability to Butte
county. This road is utilized by all Butte county residents and others that have
cabins and/or property at Bucks Lake. Also, logging contracts are being lost due to
the Oro/Quincy highway washout not being repaired. While we understand that the
bid for road repair should be out soon and repairs should start this fall,
WE IMMEDIATELY REQUEST THAT BUTTE COUNTY GRADE, WATER,
AND APPLY ROCK ON THE WORST PORTIONS AS WELL AS APPLY A
DUST RETARDANT ON THE ROAD. Even with the start of construction on the
repair of the Oro/Quincy highway, projected to start this fall, it most likely will not
be finished before winter. Jay.
