SUBJECT: Hicks Lane Property – Site Evaluation / CEQA Letter of Compliance
Dear Mr. Weems:
On Tuesday, April 4, 2023, Olberding Environmental, Inc. (Olberding Environmental) conducted
a reconnaissance-level site evaluation survey of the Hicks Lane Property (Property) located in
unincorporated Butte County, California. The purpose of the survey was to determine if site
conditions are generally unchanged since the November 12, 2019 survey. This survey was
conducted in response to a March 2023 request from the Butte County Senior Planner as a
requirement for the initiation of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance.
The survey consisted of walking throughout the Property and evaluating the site and adjacent lands
for potential changes in site conditions. Existing conditions, plants and wildlife observed, adjacent
land use, soils and potential biological resource constraints were recorded during the visit. Existing
conditions were compared to the site conditions observed during the November 12, 2019 site visit
as recorded in the Biological Resources Analysis Report (Olberding Environmental, Inc.,
November 2019).
Results of the reconnaissance-level survey conducted by Olberding Environmental indicate that
the Property remains unchanged from the November 12, 2019 survey and can continue the CEQA
process as needed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (925) 866-2111.
Sincerely,
Jeff Olberding
