Operational TAC Emissions
• All mobile and stationary Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs) sources shall comply with
applicable Airborne Toxic Control Measures (ATCMs) promulgated by the CARB throughout the life of the project.
• Stationary sources shall comply with applicable District rules and regulations.
Fugitive Dust
Construction activities can generate fugitive dust that can be a nuisance to local
residents and businesses near a construction site. Dust complaints could result in a
violation of the District’s “Nuisance” and “Fugitive Dust” Rules 200 and 205, respectively. The following is a list of measures that may be required throughout the duration of the construction activities:
• Reduce the amount of the disturbed area where possible.
• Use of water trucks or sprinkler systems in sufficient quantities to prevent airborne
dust from leaving the site. An adequate water supply source must be identified. Increased watering frequency would be required whenever wind speeds exceed 15 mph. Reclaimed (non-potable) water should be used whenever possible.
• All dirt stockpile areas should be sprayed daily as needed, covered, or a District
approved alternative method will be used.
• Permanent dust control measures identified in the approved project revegetation and landscape plans should be implemented as soon as possible following completion of any soil disturbing activities.
• Exposed ground areas that will be reworked at dates greater than one month after
initial grading should be sown with a fast-germinating non-invasive grass seed and
watered until vegetation is established.
• All disturbed soil areas not subject to re-vegetation should be stabilized using approved chemical soil binders, jute netting, or other methods approved in advance by the Butte County Air Quality Management District.
• All roadways, driveways, sidewalks, etc. to be paved should be completed as soon as possible. In addition, building pads should be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.
• Vehicle speed for all construction vehicles shall not exceed 15 mph on any unpaved surface at the construction site.
• All trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials are to be covered or should maintain at least two feet of freeboard (minimum vertical distance between top of load and top of trailer) in accordance with local regulations.
• Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto streets, or wash off trucks and equipment leaving the site.
• Sweep streets at the end of each day if visible soil material is carried onto adjacent paved roads. Water sweepers with reclaimed water should be used where feasible.
• Post a sign in prominent location visible to the public with the telephone numbers of the contractor and the Butte County Air Quality Management District - (530) 332-9400 for any questions or concerns about dust from the project.
All fugitive dust mitigation measures required should be shown on grading and building plans. In addition, the contractor or builder should designate a person or
persons to monitor the dust control program and to order increased watering, as necessary, to prevent transport of dust offsite. Their duties shall include holidays and weekend period when work may not be in progress. The name and telephone number
of such persons shall be provided to the District prior to land use clearance for map
recordation and finished grading of the area.
Please note that violations of District Regulations are enforceable under the provisions of California Health and Safety Code Section 42400, which provides for civil or criminal penalties of up to $25,000 per violation.
Plan Requirements: The note shall be placed on a separate document which is to
be recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet. This note shall also be placed on all building and site development plans.
Timing: Requirements of the condition shall be adhered to throughout all grading and construction periods.
Monitoring: The Butte County Department of Development Services and the Public
Works Department shall ensure that the note is placed on a separate document which is to be recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet. Building inspectors shall spot check and shall ensure compliance on-site. Butte County Air Pollution Control District inspectors shall respond to nuisance complaints.
2. Mitigation Measure CUL-1
If grading activities reveal the presence of prehistoric or historic cultural resources (i.e., artifact concentrations, including arrowheads and other stone tools or chipping debris, cans glass, etc.; structural remains; or human skeletal remains) work within 50 feet of the find shall immediately cease until a qualified professional archaeologist can
be consulted to evaluate the find and implement appropriate mitigation procedures. If
human skeletal remains are encountered, State law requires immediate notification of the County Coroner (530.538.7404). If the County Coroner determines that the remains are in an archaeological context, the Native American Heritage Commission in Sacramento shall be notified immediately, pursuant to State Law, to arrange for
Native American participation in determining the disposition of such remains. The provisions of this mitigation shall be followed during construction of all improvements, including land clearing, road construction, utility installation, and building site development.
Plan Requirements: This note shall be placed on a separate document which is to
be recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet and shall be shown on all site development and building plans.
Timing: This measure shall be implemented during all site preparation and construction activities.
Monitoring: The Department of Development Services and/or Public Works
Department shall ensure the note is placed on a separate document which is to be recorded concurrently with the map or on an additional map sheet. Should cultural resources be discovered, the landowner shall notify the Planning Division and a professional archaeologist. The Planning Division shall coordinate with the developer
and appropriate authorities to avoid damage to cultural resources and determine appropriate action. State law requires the reporting of any human remains.

The report shall be prepared by a civil engineer who is registered by the state, based upon adequate test boring or excavations in the subdivision.
2. Drainage Easements: Prior to map recordation, the applicant shall demonstrate that there is a legal easement to connect to the drainage system to the south on Orchardcrest, to the nearest public roadway, if that system is to be used by
the subject project. These easements shall be reviewed and approved by the County Surveyor prior to map recordation.
3. Drainage Report for Standard Drainage Design: Prior to map recordation, an engineered plan for a permanent solution for drainage shall be submitted to and approved by the Department of Public Works in compliance with Section
10.0 of the County’s Improvement Standards. Per the preliminary drainage plan review, the following will need to be addressed in the final engineered plan:
a. The Thermalito Master Drainage Plan recommends that “the potential impacts of proposed large lot developments within this specific area (illustrated on Exhibit 5) should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to
determine if the area-wide system would be better served by either providing local conveyance improvements between the proposed development and a location that can accommodate cumulative flows, or contributing to regional detention upstream.” The Master Plan shall be used to run the calculations for this development to determine whether the
proposed detention system would cause an increase to the flows
downstream. Provide a site-specific pre-development shed map with topography showing the conditions described in the “Existing Conditions” section of the drainage study. Include flow paths used to calculate existing
Tc. Provide a site-specific post-development shed map showing areas used
in the drainage study calculations along with proposed storm drain infrastructure. Include flow paths used to calculate proposed Tc.
b. The drainage plans shall specify how stormwater runoff will be attenuated on site by detention facilities and/or conveyed to the nearest natural or
publicly maintained drainage channel or facility and shall provide developed-condition peak flow discharge not greater than the pre-development condition for all storm events, and no increase in stormwater volume over the design storm duration to said channel or facility. Detention facilities must either discharge to receiving channel with no backwater from
the channel, or attenuate full stormwater volume onsite. Backwater condition is present when detention facility, with gravity flow, has an outlet elevation at or below the approved 100-year water surface elevation of the receiving channel. If used, stormwater pumps shall have redundant pump systems, back-up power, and discharge control mechanism(s) to prevent
discharge during high flow events in receiving channel. Prior to the final improvement inspection, the design dimensions and volume of detention facilities shall be confirmed using topographic land survey by the engineer of record.
3. Maintenance of Drainage Facilities: Prior to final map recordation, the
developer must complete the formation of a Permanent Road Division (PRD), County Service Area (CSA), or other Department of Public Works-approved entity for the maintenance and operation of drainage and stormwater quality facilities, or shall join or annex to an existing maintenance entity. The formation process will require the developer to fund the service until the beginning of the
first fiscal year in which service charges can be collected and agree to an annual maximum service charge with an annual inflation increase to ensure continued operation of the facilities.
4. Drain Markers: Prior to the final improvement inspection by the Department of Public Works, all new drain inlets shall be labeled with the county-approved
drain marker per county standard S-40. Improvement plans shall show and/or note the requirements for labeling inlets pursuant to county standard S-40.
5. Stormwater Quality Management: Coverage under the stormwater Construction General Permit (CGP) will be required by the State Water Resources Control Board if the project results in ground disturbance, including
clearing, excavation, filling, and grading of one or more acres or disturbs less than one acre but are part of a larger common plan or development consisting of one acre or more of total disturbance. Coverage under this General Permit must be obtained from the State Water Resources Control Board before starting construction. If coverage under the CGP is required, engineering plans
shall show the Waste Discharge Identification (WDID) number on the title sheet of the plans and a copy of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
shall be provided to the Land Development Division of the Public Works Department. Submit with improvement or grading plans the estimated areas to be disturbed to the Department of Public Works for consistency with the
SWPPP. Additionally, place a note on a map sheet that states: “The
development of this parcel (or subdivision) map required coverage under the Stormwater Construction General Permit. Construction activities that result in a land disturbance of less than one acre, but which are part of a larger common plan of development, also require coverage under this permit. Development of
individual lots may require an additional permit coverage.”
Feather River Recreation & Park District:
1. Consent to Annexation into CFD: The property must be annexed into the Feather River Recreation and Park District Community Facilities District 2022-01 (CFD). In addition to this, there must be an agreement to the imposition of an annual CFD
special tax. This tax will be utilized to finance the ongoing costs associated with the operation, maintenance, and servicing of the park areas. 2. Financial Deposit: Alternatively, the property owner(s) may choose to deposit a sum, as predetermined by the FRRPD, which should be sufficient to cover the annual expenses related to operating, maintaining, and servicing the new neighborhood
parks. This sum should also account for any necessary repairs or replacements over time.
