The terrain varies in steepness from flat to thirty percent. The average slope across the site is approximately two to fifteen percent. The mining site (fifty acres, plus) is essentially shrubs. Nearby vegetation is the usual native trees and shrubs consisting of pine, fir, cedar, buck brush and manzanita. Numerous rock outcrops are scattered throughout the vicinnity typical for this elevation and area. The soils consist generally of one to two feet of overburden underlain with ",rolcanic flows with gravel beds occiuring beneath volcanic rocks and overlaying shaly metasediments. The water table is undetermined. However, a nearby well vas drilled to a depth of 450 feet before ample water was encountered. The average annual precipitation is 65inches. In cooperation with the Forest Service, the property will be in explored to disclose the presence of endangered flora. There are no known archaelogical sites present on the entire 200 acres and no known historical sites located on the premisbs.

A site visit was not conducted, `Ih following advisory comments are offered to the County of Butte in its role as a lead agency under SMARA: 1. It is not possible to evaluate the reclamation proposed without a delineation and description of the specific areas to be mined over the life of the Project. The Reclamation Plan Map shows only Phase 1. The site map should show all of the areas to be excavated, or there should be separate maps for each phase of the operation, Proposed final contours acid/or cross sections through excavations, ponds; .and waste areas would be helpful to show pre-mining, post- - ost mining and post-reclamation land surfaces: 2r It is unclear how overburden Dill be disposed of whether the volcanic rocks will be placed into excavated areas with processed` gravels placed on top, or the two types cif materials wi71 go into separate waste areas: 8, To prevent all of the topsoil from filtering down into the replaced gravels or other waste rock, some type of transition material of ihtermediate sizes) may be needed between the gravel a17c1 the soil', This is particularly critical if there is only, enough soil to cover the site 1-2 feet deep. If the basalt flows nr agglolneriatc break then it t'exc irate a�� d or fine gravel sized material down b�lheh ekcaVated Into sandsize from the dragline sQmplrand settlting7pondsmnightaa]soMb�euidl dredged this purpose, s•ful for - Mr. Rick Rodriguez - January 50, 1984 Page 2 4, The Reclamation Plan should describe more fully the reclamation treat- nletlts proposed for stockpile areas, ponds, roads, and plant site. For instance,, how will all access roads be reclaimed (SMARA 2729, 2772)? What will be the final grade and appearance of the permanent waste dumps and tailing piles? Will the perimeter ditch be left? Will the 6" and 14" steel pipe be removed? How will the plant site be reclaimed? Will it be revegetated? 5. It is not clear what wastes wi'11 belaced in marked on the site map, p the "on-site waste area" 6.�=ificai.mnformation isation Plan ativenthat the revegetation will occur; but no informtion Is the effectiveness of thegProposed orevegetatioi. The needed to evaluate paration, plant species, rate of seeding or s„acing ofr'ants3 theP of siteptime of seeding and/or planting, type and rate of application of fertilizer, and type and rate of application of mulch, if used, are all impo to consider in evaluating the rtant factors potential success of neve etatrta 7; The mined areas which are proposed to be backfilled, resoiled and revegetated do not appear to be steeper than 2:1, the maximum steepness recommended b the Sail Conservation Service (SCS) for revegetation. Other areas to be revegetated should have slopes of 2;1 or less. 5. The Plan proposes grazing or open space as a final end use (see que.stiolf 28). As such, 't is not clear how the abandonment of b 7n the operation, will be compatible with this end use. u7 Consideration should be given to the removal of all structures during reclamation in order to leave the site in a loncn-term maintenance -free and safe condition. It is also unclear how the drainage control features are being treated in the reclamation proposal. Perimeter ditch; First, the Perimeter ditch surrounding the north,.... West and east sides of the property is not fully discussed, The Plan states that all runoff from disturbed areas will be channel"leaf into Ponds. However, the eastern portion of the ditch, capturing runoff from the topsoil stockpile area and other disturbed lands; 1's shown draining away from the proposed ca"t,chmehts. The northern pertnn of the western -most drainage ditch also appears those measures are to be the Main sedintcontrolafeatire ,t�;heyishould be redesigned to control all site runoff, Reclamation of the drainage facilities: Unless there is a long-term p p.

Additional pondY and the dam may creme an attractive nuisance and/or a long-term maintenance need, Mr Rick Rodriguez Janory 30, 1984 Page 3 1 p; Over time, without maintenance, these ponds and the ditch will fill with sediment and debris and fail. Thiscouldrelease significant quantities 1 of fine sediment to local drainage courses. Consideration should be given to: 1) removal of the dam t0 ►Ostore drainage and increase safety; 2) the reclamation of the Pffiliitfeter ditch and establishment of more natural d- ihage patterns 3) t11g removal of fine sediment from the settling ponds for use in topsoilin removal of dams, and regradation to locally compatible slopes; or 4) filling ponds completely, revegetating and establishing non erosiVa drainage through the site.

Attachments for APPLICATION FOR MINING PERMIT AND RECLAMATION PLAN Page 2 All =grater will be conveyed by pumping in enclosed pipelines. No'eontamihatEd (dirty) water will be disposed of off the site. Surplus water Will be held in the runoff ponds until it can be added back into the production system. In the event of a, spill of any kind that might be caused by ail emergency storm event, all activity on the site shall be suspended and the proper authorities will be notified. No activity will be resumed until proper corrective action has been completed. i When the project has been completed and the ponds are ready for reclamation, water addition will be stopped and ass the water in the ponds will be Allowed to evaporate. When dryp the ponds Will be backfilled, graded and vegitated.', NO PONDS OR EXPOSED SILTY, MATERIAL WILL BE LEFT ON THE SURFACE AFUR COMPLETION OF RECLAMATION. 20. Activity within the proposed mining area (red on maps) will proceed from West to East. Excavation will be completed with bulldozers,, front-end loaders, scrapers or trucks. Topsoil Will first be removed and stored in the Waste Storage ,Area (yellow on maps) Uppers low grade gravels iil them be removed and placed from West to East in the area shown on the maps as Previously Mined Area (green).

YQN See attached, rr DISCUSSION OF Vl1 i.� �tO1VMENTALEVAI, ATTt7N Al' # 59-20-11, 59-21-06 & 07' 1a,b,c,e,f,h: The project operations will consist of strip miri ig of the top soil and then storing the material. Gravel will then' be removed for processing. This will cause disruption to the soil, and change to the relief features, this in turn may create unstable earth conditions, and increase erosion potential. The raining operations will take place in sections and reclamation wiil occur prior to mining future sections. Since, reclamation will include completely refilling the mined area and then compacting the material, replacing the top soil and recontourin to the e a ppraximate original slope and then replanting of the slopes, these impacts should be .fully mitigated. To reduce erosion during operations the top soil should be covered or berms provided to act as a catch basin. Landslides are possible with the mining activity. However the exposure of people to a significant impact is minimal due to the nature and type of mining, operations expected to, occur on site. 2a,b:: The ambient air quality will deteriorate from the existing conditions due to the ,,-e of mechanical equipment and subsequent increase in dust. By incorporating dust control measures, this impact will not increase from previous operations and therefore should not be anymore Significant: 3b,f,h., Drainage patterns have been altered from lilrevious land activities and can be expected to continue with the proposed operations, By complying with the reclamation plan this shoald only be a short term impact and not be significant to the overall watershed. There is a potential of discharging effluent or fl g g occulants into Philbrook Creek which could cause wide spread environmental damage, A sediment pond did overflow or fail in August 11980, which created damage to the Philbrook Lake and Creek. Since the incident, the applicant lass obtained a waste p discharge ermit that is currently in effect. The current operations and water, systems are designed to handle a 100 year flooding and appear to- be adequate and have been reviewed by appropriate agencies and therefore this impact has been deemed to Yee mitigated. 4a; Currently portions of the site have been stripped clear of vegetation from previous operations. There will be an elimination of all vegetation when mining operations commence. Since there are no endangered or threatened plant species on site and revegetation will occur on the mime areas this impact has been determined to be insignificant and mitligated. lie 5a: s Confrnuafron Of t mining operations will create future local relocation for fauna expected partment of Fish and Game has expressed their concerns In the previously adopted negative dece laration and has recommended no additional comrinents for this request. .i 6a: Local noise levels will increase over existing natural conditions ;ipon commencement of the 'p logging p y sninrn g o orations. Tire t`g oo ►norations in the also add to she ambient noise. levz-,Is. Since the mining operations are temporary and seasonal lin nature no Sily:?iticant impactrs ekpeeted to occur, gbt The mining operations will deplete the old resources on site. g The mining of a ran- renewable resource such as precious metals is considered a„ benefit to the etonom , ` is y Since tl� r a tit' , p i p cted resource extracted is esr�urc., has beers dr,termrned to be a benefit nnd'the amount of ex e minimal tlirs im aet should not be substantlal, 10a: The 1,000 gallon fuel tank currently on site will not be used for fuel storage. There is some potential for a risk of upset caused when fuel is brought to the site or accidents with the equipment, 20a: The subject site is identified as a moderate to low to unknown archaeological sensitivity area. In addition, large portions of the site have been disrupted due to mining operations and no items of archaeological importance have been found to this point: The Carr Mine is over 50 years old and is considered an ;historic site even though it is currently under operation. The Archaeology Department at the California State University of Chico and the Registered rrofessional Forester who prepared the harvest plan indicated that there may be significant archaeological or prehistoric sites located near the property of the Curr Mine. But most of the concern revolves around the timber harvest plan which will occur around the mine operations and that project was conditioned to have a survey done and ,no other impact was suggested for the mining operations itself. Mitigation Measures: Most of the mitigation measures are from the previously approved project although some have been modified and or combined and several new conditions have been added. 1 y mined areas shall be fully reclaimed g ' in can plmn e with the related �mitialation�rneasures or conditions. g P p I A. water truck shall be maintained on site for dust control measures and the watering of roads and training operations. Watering shall be provided at a rate as necessary to eliminate any airborne particulates created from the mining operations:, 3. The top soil stock piles shall be protected with tatpoline ora perimeter berm that shall act as a catch basin. d: The flocculant approved for use if it is necessary is Nalco 7873 or any similar non toxic and environffientallY safe flocculant, not to exceed it maximum Concentration` of 10 mgaper, liter. S. All reclaimed surfaces shall be contoured to match; the premining drainage patterns. 6: All minlog equipment and structures used during. operations shall be removed prior. to release df :he bond: 7. Vtgetatiori removal shall not occur more than 15 clays prior to: grading, operations or tars of thea ual mining operations, $, biversion of water will not,exceed the rate approved by the Department of`Fish and Game and 'division of Nater Rights Applicant will abide and implement the cleanup and abatement order and issuance of Ovate w discharge requirements by .the Califorilin Regional Watet Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region. car- m _. .. 10♦ Wafter quality in the ponds will be continually nxonitored, ,any abnormalities will be reported to the Department of Water Quality. - 11. Water recycling system will be maintained for Uro discharge. 12. In the event of discharge (to surface or ground water) because of catastrophic conditions, the operation will be shut down while remedial .neasures are taken. 13. The revegetation criteria and a plant list shall be pr+;pared and adopted by the US Forest Service and the Planning Commission prior to commencing any mining operations. The plant material selected by the applicant for revegetation shall be _ subject to the approval of US Forest Service and related County agencies. 14. All revegetated areas shall not be steeper than a 2 to 1 slope. 15. All excavation and slope walls w4111 be terraced according to accepted engineering standards. 16. Reclamation: back filling and grading, and revegetation will be done concurrent with mining operations, 17.

Gravelwill then be removed for processing. This will cause disruption to the soil and change to the relief features, this in turn may create unstable earth conditions, and I.- r ease eros,on potential. The mining operations will take place in sections and reclamation will occur prior to mining future sections. Since reclamation will include completely refilling the mined area and then compacting the material, replacing the top soil and recontouring to the approximate original slope and then repianting of the slopes, these impacts should be fully, mitigated. To reduce erosion during operations the top soil should be covered or berms provided to act as a catch basin. Landslides are possible with the mining activity. However the exposure of people to a significant impact is minimal due-to the nature and type of mining operations expected to Occur of site: to b: The ambient air quality will deteriorate, from the existing conditions due to the use of mechanical equipment and subsequent' increase in dust. By incorporating dust control measures, this impact will not increase from previous operations and therefore should not be anymore significant, 3b f,li: a Drainsg patterns have been altered 'from previous land activities and earl be: 'expected to continue with the proposed operations. By complying with the reel amatioa plan this should only be a short term impact and not be significant to the overall watershed. There 'is a potential of discharging effluent or flocculants into Philbrook Creek which Could cause wide spread environmental damage. A sediment pond did overflow or fail in August 1980, which created damage to the Philbrook Lake and Creek= since the incident, the applicant has obtained a waste discharge per The current operations and water systems are � mit that is currently in effect. g y y designed to handle a 100 year flooding and appear to be adequate and have been.. reviewed by appropriate agencies' and therefore this impact has been deemed to be mitigated. 4a; Currently portions of the site have been stripped clear of vegetation from previous Operations. There will be an elimination of all vegetation when mining operations commence.- Since there are no endangered or threatened plant species on site and revege-tatton will occur on the urine areas this impact has been determined to be insignifica,.t and mitigated. 5n C6nt tfir Forest hahe m n'1n perations will create future local relocation for fauna expected g Department of Fish and Game has expressed their' concerns in. the previously adopted negative declaration and has, recommended no additional comments for this request. 6a: local noise levels will increase over bAsting Natural conditions upon contmenrement of the mining operations. The ,logging operations in the Vicinity also add to the ambient noise levels, Since the mining operations aro temporary and seasonal in nature no signiricaNt impact is expected to occur: 9b The mining operations will deplete the gold resources on site. tie mining of a nor%- 'renewable resource such as precious Ithetals is considered a benefit to the economy. Since this resource leas been determined to be it benefit and the amount of eXpected resource extracted Its- minimal sminimal this impact should not be substantial 10a: The 1,000 gallon fuel tank currently on site will not be used for fuel storage. There is some I potential for a risk of upset caused when fuel is brought to the site or accidents with the equipment. a 20at The subject site is identified as a moderate to low to unknown archaeological sensitivity area, in addition, large portions of the site, have been disrupted due to mining operations and no items of archaeological importance have been found to this point. Thi Carr Mine is over 50 years old aid is considered an ;historic site even though ,it, is currently under operation. The Archaeology Department at the California State University of Chico and the Registered Professional ;Forester who prepared the harvest plan indicated that there may be significant archaeological or prehistoric sites located near the property of the Carr Mine. But most of the concern revolves around the timber harvest plan which will occur around the mine operations and that project was conditioned to have a survey done and no other i,rn,pact was suggested for the mining operations itself. Mitigation Measures: Most of the mitigation measures are, from the previously approved project. although some have � boen modified and or combined and several new conditions have been added. 1 Prior to closing seasonal opeerations all previously mined areas shall be fully reclaimed Al c4hPliance with the related mitigation measures or conditions. 2.
