Attn: John Starr, Trustee
RE: Placement of material on Parcels APN 068-360-003, 068 & 069
Subject: Exemption from Butte County Code 13, Article lGrading
Dear Mr. Starr
ln response to your Grading permit Application and in recognition of the facts that the material being
placed on your property is in response to the February 2Q17 Oroville Spillway lncident we have made
the following findings:
. The material is coming from repair of Canyon Drive, a County owned road, that was damaged
during the incident response.. The repairs are being conducted by contract under the authority of the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) who has been retained by the California Department of Water
Resources (DWR) to execute the necessary repairs.. The incident has been declared as a Local, State and Federal Disaster that is currently ongoing.
o Your referenced property is in close proximity to the construction site and you are willing to take
the material.
Based on the above findings we have determined that your application is exempt under Section 13-5(d)
and therefore does not require issuance of a Grading permit. ln consultation with the Butte County
Department of Development Services we ask that, in addition to your normal erosion control and water
quality control measures, that an orange exclusionary fence be place at least 50 feet from the creek and
pond shown on the attached site plan to your application. You will also be responsible for any other
permits required by other local, state or federal agencies. A copy of your application is attached to this
letter to more fully describe the project and the area and quantities of material being placed.
Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Thomas A. Fossum, P.E.
Deputy Director
CC: Butte County Department of Development Services
Caltrans District 3
