Please Preserve and protect the uniquely valuable qualities of Butte Creek Canyon which is a
designated cultural & scenic resource of Butte County in the General Plan.
Road cannot handle any more traffic. Down to one lane where the road has fallen in.
High concern of fire danger and limited resources to protect existing homes.
Limited water supply. Wells are already being re-drilled by current residents.
Clustered Development is not allowed— not appropriate for terrain of the Canyon
Ridgeline development needs setbacks for fire safety, deer herd migration, protect scenic qualities
Watershed protection that includes vegetative strearnside buffers, surfaces that allow percolation of water,
erosion control, and septic system setbacks
I
The Canyon and its Ridges are a wildlife refuge: a haven for endangered salmon, threatened Tehama migratory
deer herd, black bear, bald eagle..and more!
