Michael Crump , Director Shawn H. O’Brien , Assistant Director August 26, 2014 Marian Claiborne 16300 Sam C Road Brooksville, FL 34613 RE: Grading on APN 028-390-079; 44 Grimy Gulch Road, Bangor Dear Ms. Claiborne: It has come to the attention of the Butte County Department of Public Works that grading is being performed on your property located near 44 Grimey Gulch Road, Bangor. 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. Further our inspector has determined that the grading being performed on your property exceeds fifty (50) cubic yards. Enclosed is a copy of the county grading permit application for your review and future compliance. Because we have determined that the grading being performed on your property is in violation of the Butte County Code it is therefore a statutory nuisance. You are hereby ordered to cease and desist from all grading activities. Other county departments have been notified that a grading violation has occurred and a hold will 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, Mike Crump, P.E.
