RE: Grading on APN 058-360-099; 13202 Concow Rd., Concow
Dear Mr. Wendell:
It has come to the attention of the Butte County Department of Public Works that grading is being performed
on your property located near 13202 Concow Road. Please be aware that the County Grading Ordinance
(Ch. 13 Butte County Code) makes it unlawful to grade more than fifty (50) cubic yards of soil, including cut
and/or fill, without either being granted an exemption or being issued a permit prior to grading. We have no
record of you or your agent seeking a determination of exemption with the Butte County Department of Public
Works. Enclosed is a copy of the county grading permit application for your review and future compliance.
Grading being performed on your property may be in violation of Butte County Code. You are hereby ordered
to cease and desist from all grading activities until it can be determined if a violation has occurred. Other
county departments have been notified that a grading investigation has been opened and a hold may be
placed on current and future permits until a grading permit or valid grading exemption is approved. Please
take the necessary measures within the next 14 days to address this violation. If this notice is received
during the winter rainy season, you must also provide a storm water stabilization plan to protect water quality
and adjacent property owners from the continuing nuisance conditions created by the grading activity.
If you are not exempt, Butte County requires sediment and erosion controls for all grading permits. The
California Regional Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB) also requires a construction storm water permit
for activities where clearing, grading, filling and excavation result in a land disturbance of one or more acres.
You must provide our office with a copy of the required State Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP). You may contact the Redding office of the CRWQCB at (530) 224-4845 for more information
regarding state storm water permits.
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,
Dennis Schmidt, P.E.
