For public comment on Agenda 3.03 4-27-21 Supervisor Meeting
Hello Board of Supervisors and County Admin,
You have been navigating many emergencies these past three years and I am proud of many
accomplishments. The funds from the PG&E Settlement from the DA’s office were very meaningful
to the people who lost their loved ones and to hold PG&E accountable for their felony.
I now question after reading the agenda if the county brought criminal charges against PG&E as
another source of revenue for the county or as restitution for the families that lost loved ones? This
pot of funding should go to a trust in which each family who lost a loved one can file an application
for restitution. This is blood money for murder. In a criminal case these funds would go directly to
the families and the people with great bodily injury! So please, take the administration fee of 4% to
handle this and then take care of your people with the rest, or just use the interest earned on the
funds to pay for admin. They can never replace their loved ones. No amount of money can negate
their grief. Injured citizens have hospital bills and long recoveries in front of them like Terra Hill. The
Fire Victim’s Trust is their civil tort claim, these criminal restitution claims should also go to them.
Whatever these folks receive from the FVT is completely separate from this criminal conviction. This
is the morally right decision to make for this pool of money.
If you must take their restitution payment in complete disregard for how offensive this is to the
families and injured citizens, then perhaps you can consider recovery efforts in the following ways:
1. Concow and the county areas in between Paradise can use a lot of help recovering from
roads, to schools, to residents, trees, broadband, you name it!
2. Magalia’s Skyway is marred with burn scars from the cars abandoned on the roadway. Please
name this section of the roadway in honor of all the lives lost.
3. Stilson Canyon needs help with trees on private lands.
4. Butte Creek Canyon needs their road repaired.
5. Butte Valley needs permanent fire breaks.
Perhaps each supervisor is allocated some funding for their district to take on one project. I realize
that this money may not fund any one of these projects, but it is a good down payment on a grant to
match funds.
I watched the entire criminal proceeding and watched PG&E plead guilty as each person’s name was
called. I was so grateful that the county stepped up to put PG&E on record as a felon and assumed
that the restitution would go to the families. Please do the right thing and take care of your people,
especially with this set of funding.
Thank you,
Angela

Subject: DA Settlement Fund 3.03 and 3.04
Supervisor Teeter and Connelly,
I am just reading the agenda for the upcoming supervisor meeting and am appalled to learn of two
agenda items below. The PG&E Settlement Fund should go to the families of those who lost loved
ones where PG&E pled guilty! This is blood money and belongs to the families who will never
recover their family members. I also disagree with 3.04 item on the agenda, please use all funds for
disaster recovery. We have many roads to fix from trucks and fire, and we have many areas that still
need tree clearing, we need programs to help our residents put a roof over the heads, not fund
pensions and safety. Due to the short timing of the email prior to the meeting, I do not expect a
reply. I will be posting these two items to the community to comment on and request to attend the
meeting as well as ecomment. I want to be proud of our county and this makes me sick to my
stomach that you are doing exactly what TOP has done with the money instead of the helping the
countless people who are rebuilding their lives, this money belongs to recovery.
3.03PG&E Settlement Fund Policy
Butte County received a $252 million settlement from PG&E whose criminal
negligence resulted in the Camp Fire. The County’s net settlement revenue after
attorney’s fees was $204.4 million. At the Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21 budget hearings
on July 21, 2020, the Board of Supervisors directed that a new fund called the
"PG&E Settlement Fund" be established and the settlement funds be committed to
County stability, hazard mitigation, and recovery. The use of the PG&E Settlement
Fund is at the sole discretion of the Board of Supervisors. County Administration
recommends the Board approve a PG&E Settlement Fund Policy for the use of
these funds. The proposed policy states the PG&E Settlement Fund be used for
County stability, hazard mitigation and recovery as directed by the Board on July 21,
2020. Recognizing that there are more worthy projects and uses of the PG&E
Settlement Fund than there are funds available, the policy states projects that
address direct impacts from the Camp Fire, leverage outside funds and/or have a
high level of urgency will be given priority. County Departments, on their own or at
the Direction of the Board, will submit project proposals to the Chief Administrative
Officer to have the use of PG&E Settlement Funds considered. The Board of
Supervisors must approve any use of PG&E Settlement Funds. (County
Administration)
Action requested - APPROVE PG&E SETTLEMENT FUND POLICY
3.04Budget Adjustment - PG&E Settlement Fund
On March 9, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved four recommendations to
use PG&E Settlement Funds toward County’s financial stability initiatives including
the use of PG&E Settlement Funds as cash flow to prepay the annual unfunded
liability payment which will be repaid to the fund annually with interest, as well as
the contribution of $20 million to the Safety Pension Trust which is projected to
stabilize the County’s public safety pension costs over the next 14 years. To
implement these actions staff recommend the Board approve the CalPERS
prepayment for FY 2021-22, and approve the budget adjustment appropriating $20
million in PG&E Settlement Funds for payment to the Safety Pension Trust. (County
Administration)
Action requested - 1) APPROVE THE PREPAYMENT OF THE UNFUNDED LIABILITY
PAYMENT AS DETAILED IN THE STAFF REPORT; AND 2) APPROVE BUDGET
ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED)

Hello,
Although the DA asked for victims to write statements last year about how they were
impacted for losing their families, none of this settlement is going to anyone who saw
that their families lost lives.
This money in accumulation is not going anywhere - similarly to how $1 billion was
spent on Oroville dam and then it was still broken.
We also asked for SaveMeNowApp.com to be included in the 911 systems and it only
costs $15,000 for citizen/victims and responder apps, yet it was denied.
Whenever we actually point to real solutions that is not greedy or corporate
orientated, we get denied.
"Stability, hazard mitigation, and recovery" - what does this even mean? This isn't
going to victims who still have to rebuild their homes.
I lost my entire family in the fire - Victoria Taft - and the Fire Victims Trust has not
given me any preliminary payments or any payments. We've been completely ignored
and likely Anna Dise who losther father were too.
What was the point of making us write letters for you? Clearly all it's going is to people
who want it all to themselves. Supposedly people are also still living in trailers.

UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES
NARRATIVE
Tuscan Ridge Planned Development
Date: March 11, 2021
Project No.: 9799.02
Prepared For: Tuscan Ridge Associates, LLC
Attachment A: NRCS Soil Resource Report
1.0 PROJECT OVERVIEW
Tuscan Ridge Associates, LLC (Applicant) is proposing an approximately 98-acre Planned Development on
the approximately 163-acre (Note: County records indicate 172 acres; however, a recent boundary survey
yielded 163 acres) property located on the southeast side of Skyway between Chico and Paradise, California
and identified by Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 040-520-104 through -107 and -11 and portions of 040-
520-108 and -110 (Site), to facilitate the construction of 165 residential units, commercial development,
recreation areas, open space, and golf-related facilities (Project). It should be noted that the 163-acre
property additionally includes the parcel identified by APN 040-520-109; however, no development is
currently proposed on that parcel at this time.
The Site currently has a land use designation of Planned Unit Development (PUD) per the Butte County
General Plan 2030 (adopted 2010, amended 2012) and a zoning designation of Planned Development (PD)
per the Butte County Zoning Code (Zoning Code). The Site is surrounded primarily by large undeveloped
parcels to the east, south, and west, with Skyway running the entire length of the northwest Site boundary.
Paradise Rod & Gun Club is located northeast of the Site. The undeveloped parcels surrounding the Site to
the south, southwest, and southeast have a Butte County land use designation of Agricultural (AG) per the
Butte County General Plan 2030, and a zoning designation of Agriculture (AG) per the Zoning Code.
2.0 REGULATORY SETTING AND REQUEST
Pursuant to the Agricultural Buffer Ordinance, Division 7 (Agricultural Buffers), Sections 24-81 through 24-84 of
the Zoning Code (adopted 2013, amended 2016), proposed residential structures are required to be set back
300 feet from any property line that abuts Agriculture zones. As shown on the Conceptual Site Layout, dated
February 24, 2021, single family housing is proposed within the 300-foot Agricultural Buffer Setback from
adjacent parcels zoned Agriculture. Section 24-83 of the Zoning Code provides that the setback distance of
300 feet may be adjusted based upon the Agricultural Buffer Guidelines adopted by the Board of Supervisors

UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTNACES NARRATIVE
Tuscan Ridge Planned Development
on December 16, 2008 or an Unusual Circumstances Review pursuant to Section 24-84 (Exceptions to
agricultural buffer setback) of the Zoning Code. This narrative has been written to support a request for an
Unusual Circumstance Review, pursuant to Section 24-84 of the Zoning Code.
Additionally, it should be noted that the Applicant acknowledges the Butte County Right-to-Farm Ordinance,
Chapter 35 (Protection of Agricultural Land) of the Zoning Code, which requires that residents or users of
property near agricultural operations be prepared to accept inconvenience or discomfort arising from that
operation as a normal and necessary aspect of agricultural operations in Butte County. The proposed
development would accept any such inconveniences, should they occur, and promote a good-neighbor
policy that would protect a properly conducted agricultural operation.
3.0UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES
3.1 Limitations on Potential Agricultural Uses of Adjacent Lands
The 300-foot Agricultural Buffer Setback should not be applicable (unnecessary) due to various factors on
the Site and adjacent lands zoned Agriculture (AG). Potential agricultural uses on the adjacent lands would
be limited to generally non-intensive agricultural uses due to existing site constraints including but not limited
to topography, location, and absence of arable soil. The Site and adjacent lands are located atop a ridge,
between Skyway and steep canyons draining the region surrounding Paradise. Agricultural uses requiring
significant infrastructure and maintenance, such as crop cultivation, processing, or intensive animal
operations would most likely be infeasible as the potentially usable area of the lands is limited by the
topographic constraints. The lack of existing infrastructure, including water sources, fences, access roads and
other appurtenant facilities on the adjacent lands would most likely be prohibitively expensive to install and
maintain, as the adjacent lands are surrounded by equally undeveloped and vacant lands and access to
the adjacent lands via Skyway is limited. Additionally, according to the National Resource Conservation
Service (NRCS) Soil Survey (see Attachment A), soils at the Site and adjacent lands are largely Doemill-Jokerst
or Doemill-Jokerst-Ultic Haploxeralfs, thermic complex, which are poorly drained soils found on volcanic
foothills. These soils are considered neither wooded nor farmable under natural conditions and major uses
1
include livestock grazing, homesite development, wildlife habitat, and watershed. The surface area of these
lands may additionally be covered with cobbles, stones, or boulder, further confirming the lack of arable soil.
Open grazing, which may be possible on the adjacent lands, would not be anticipated to present the same
incompatibilities with a high level of impact on the proposed large lot rural residential homes as would be
expected from other, higher intensity agricultural uses. Additionally, the same existing constraints that would
limit intensive agricultural operations on the adjacent lands would inherently protect the adjacent lands from
conversion to residential uses, which is a key goal of the Agricultural Buffer Ordinance.
3.2 Site Development Constraints
Existing constraints on the Site, including development restrictions, natural features, and utility easements
would further limit the potential developable area. As noted above, Skyway, a Butte County-designated
Scenic Highway (pursuant to Figure COS-9 of the Butte County General Plan), spans the entire length of the
northwest Site boundary. Pursuant to Section 24-42 (Scenic highway overlay zone) of the Zoning Code, a 350-
foot Scenic Highway (-SH) overlay zone extends outward from the edges of the Skyway right-of-way.

UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTNACES NARRATIVE
Tuscan Ridge Planned Development
Development within the –SH overlay zone is intended to feature high quality architectural design, preserve
views from the highway, and maintain existing topographic features. While residential development is not
prohibited within the –SH overlay zone, potential allowable development would be limited in order to
maintain the existing views. A steep ravine at the northwest edge of the proposed development, partially
within the –SH overlay zone, would additionally limit the development potential of the northwest portion of
the Site adjacent to Skyway. In addition, development of the Site would be further constrained by the existing
roadway and public utility easements dividing the Site.

Thank you,
Jim Brobeck, water policy analyst, AquAlliance
Item 1: inter-basin coordination
Slide #17 asks:
What are the most important outcomes for inter-basin coordination in SGMA?
1) Collect data for creating maps of seasonal groundwater contours and flow direction/volume for
multiple layers of the regional aquifer system. Will increased pumping west of the Sacramento River
increase the speed and magnitude of GW flowing out of Butte County? Will deep aquifer pumping there
cause shallow aquifer levels to drop or disappear?
2) Collect data to identify and, if necessary, remediate leakage between aquifer layers caused by wells
with casing perforations (screens) tapping different layers. When deep wells with multiple levels of
intake screens are pumping the deep water shallower levels can drain into the depressurized lower
aquifer level. Regional declines in the lower aquifer can create problems in shallow domestic wells
throughout the basin.
3) While some GSA are relying on “an emphasis on measured data, not modeling, for defining
sustainability” we should heed the Technical Collaborators’ advice on pg 9 of the Interbasin Assessment)
that “use of a groundwater model is the best approach to quantify and evaluate interbasin groundwater
flows. Different models will not perfectly agree and differences in estimated interbasin flows will need
to be discussed. GSAs should recognize how management in the adjacent subbasin may change
groundwater conditions in their area. Early cooperation with neighboring subbasins to compare
interbasin flow estimates and reconcile significant differences in flow and magnitude or direction is very
important. Although the exact values may be different, the interbasin flow magnitude and direction
should be similar. Ultimately the modeling process will be easier if neighboring subbasins select and
collaborate in developing the same model.” Past model runs have had large discrepancies that
disadvantage Butte County water levels. So… neighboring subbasins should select and collaborate in
developing the same model.
4) The October 2020 CBI interbasin presentation “Coordination Priorities and Tools” slide (below)
explains that a Conflict Resolution Process is the third step in interbasin coordination. The last step they
recommended is accepting voluntary agreements as a means of resolution. The “Coordination Priorities
and Tools” Slide 8 of the updated CBI presentation has eliminated any mention of conflict resolution or
voluntary agreements. There is a realistic expectation that interbasin conflicts are likely to occur.
Intentional aquifer replenishment will be expensive. Experimental Recharge and subsequent recovery
pumping will be similar to fiduciary money accounting. We need to be transparently prepared for the
fact that other parts of the State have had to resort to adjudicated groundwater allocation. Voluntary
agreements to resolve water management conflicts are wholly inadequate. There must be written
agreements regarding dispute resolution among the basins.
Q2. What concerns or issues would you like to have considered?
I am concerned about the long-term cumulative impacts of regional conjunctive use of the basin and
expanded GW irrigation west of the river. According to a 2014 report by Davids Engineering “The
ultimate effects of pumping can occur significantly after pumping starts, or even after pumping has
ceased. The timescales involved in aquifer responses to pumping can be on the order of decades,
making it difficult to associate cause with effect. As such, monitoring must account for this lag in
impacts. In general, the longer the timeframe for effects to be observed, the longer those effects will
persist."
While Inter-basin coordination is in its early stages, Technical information indicating inter-basin flow
from Butte County westward to Glenn/Tehema Counties is available through a 2019 DWR map that
shows a significant decline in the lower aquifer in Glenn County during the recent 15 year period. The
decline appears to spread impacts all the way into Butte county.
The DWR map shows a significant depressurization of the deep aquifer that is spreading into the Vina
sub-basin. As district farms west of the Sacramento River invest in developing more deep wells in the
deepest portion of the shared aquifer system, the voluntary actions taken to resolve conflicts will be
more challenging. I suggest that a census of evolving crop patterns, GW demand, and deep LDWs (large
diameter wells) in the coordinated basin be compiled and that a moratorium on developing new LDWs
in the region be considered during upcoming meeting of participants of Interbasin Coordination.

To Whom it May Concern,
This letter is in reference to the 10:00AM Public hearing on 4/27/21 concerning the “Appeal of
Planning Commission’s Approval of Conditional Use Permit UP18-0002” section 5.02.
I am writing on behalf of Nathan Bamford and JW Bamford, Inc.
We are a timber company based in Oroville, Ca. and have been in operation since 1980.
Timber has long been included in the agriculture industry and is essential to proper forest
management and fire control.
Our company utilizes all viable yards to handle our wood waste from the forest and fire cleanup
efforts.
Old Durham Wood’s yard, located in Durham Ca, is critical to this industry, as there are fewer and
fewer end destination points to handle wood waste.
As fires continue to take place and an awareness of removing fuels from our forest grows, so does
the need for capacity at existing wood waste yards.
The Old Durham Wood expansion is very important to continue being able to responsibly handle the
growing need to manage wood waste in our communities and public lands.
Old Durham Wood is a company that runs a clean yard and is reputable among the industry.
They provide employment opportunities to the orchard and timber industries, and there operation
has a significant impact on the local community.
Please consider this letter in support of a conditional use permit.
