RE: Building Permit No. B14-1253, APN 038-270-011
Dear: CASWELL, THOMAS
Plans for the above referenced project have been routed to the Department of Public Works for review of
compliance with Butte County Code Sections 26-12.1 and 26-23 (available on line at
http://municipalcodes.lexisnexis.com/codes/butteco/). Based on our initial review of the information
provided, the Department of Public Works has determined that your parcel is located within a Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designated floodplain. As a federally designated floodplain,
special rules and regulations apply and an additional county development permit is required to construct a
structure within the floodplain.
The requirements of construction within a floodplain are set forth in Article IV, Section 26 of Butte
County Code. Code Section 26-23 requires demonstration that encroachments by a building or other
structure will not result in any increase in water surface elevations on neighboring properties. The
necessary information is normally provided by a registered professional engineer.
In addition to the requirements of Code Section 26-23, the following applies per County Code Section 26-
12.1:
1. Engineering plans and /or calculations shall detail existing drainage conditions and
specify how storm water runoff will be either detained or retained onsite and/ or conveyed
to the nearest natural drainage channel or publicly maintained facility such that there is no
increase in peak flow runoff leaving the property.
Please submit sufficient information to the Land Development Division of the Public Works Department,
7 County Center Drive, Oroville, CA 95965, that demonstrates compliance with County Code Sections
26-12 and 26-23. Submit information in duplicate in accordance with County Improvement Standards
(available on line at http://www.buttecounty.net/publicworks/divisions/landdevelopment/impstd.html )
along with a $700.00 minimum plan checking deposit.
If you have any questions, please contact this office at (530) 538-7266, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m.
Sincerely,
Eric Schroth, P.E., P.L.S.
Associate Civil Engineer
