It is _also my understanding that participants in this event will be housed on the property in tents or other types of temporary accommodations dousing pEople in tents or other types of temporary accommodations similar to camping would be a violation of -tile 14-R (Mountain Recreation) zoning district.

California has proposed the development of a meditation center and religious :retrctat on approximately 24 acres of land in southern Butte County, California. Under provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (:CEQA), all land -use proposals that present the potential for environmental impacts are subject, to an environmental reviOt process. The California Archaeological Inventory, Northeaot Information Center, California State University, Chico, reviewed the present proposal at the request of the Butte County Planning ' Department, and determi:ned that the project area was potentially sensitive with respect to archaeological and historic (i -b, cultural) resources. Accordingly, the Information Cental' recommended that a complete archaeological survey of the project area should be completed prior to the approval of the land -to permit: The Vo -Vi Friendship Association of Northern California contracted with Professional Archaeological Services (PAS) to Undertake an archaeological investigation of the project area* results of which are summarized herein. The field survey was conducted on January 21, 1989 by the author withthe assistance of, Carol Farber. All other wor. ' the contract was completed b the author. under The author wishes to thank Mr. Tuan of the Vo -Vi Friendship ' !Association of Northern California for assisting us during the field survey and for his gracious hospitality. CULTURAL AND ENVIROINMENTAL CONTEXT Geographic and Environmental setting The project area lies in southeastern Butte County, California, appedXimately four miles west of Brownsville and roughly two and one-h'alf miles northeast of Raok,erby (see Map it Project Location) within portions of the southern half of Section 25, Township 19 North Mange 5 Cast (Uaekerby 7.51 USGS C1948.r 19691 Topographic Quadrangle,, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian). t The profeet vicinity is encompassed by the western foothills of the northern Sierra Nevada Mounbains. It oocupies the divide between the South Fork of Feather River and the North Fork of Yuba RiVer, roughly five miles to the southof Lake OPOVillti A Water transport ditch;, which emanates from bhid Orovi!10"V;yandotte Irrigation District Canal, flows through the southeastern portion of the pro.jeot area. Elevations within the project area vary from approximately 1 , 97,5 Feet to 2,170 feet (602 - level. .661 meters) above .mean sea el . This foothillbelt lies below the yellow Pine for montane belt of the western Sierran slope (Storer tend (%nd s the Usthe 1963:23-27). A woodland vegetation community oharaoloristicnlly ` thrives in the fo,nthill belt. The woodland Community of the western SJ, 011Pa foothills is variously termed the Foothill Oak Woo(1), ,ind (B'ureham 1981:76), the Foothill or Digger Pine -Chaparral Belt; Usinger 1963:23-27), or the Blue Oak -Di (Storer and 1 Oak -Digger Pine. Cofyarrt; (Kfiahl er 1977). Dominant tree species include digger. vine (pinus, sabiniana) and blue oak (Quercus douglasii seldom comprise continuous homogeneous ve etationl�a)I woodlanda rather occur in mosaic patterns of woodlandandCovers' but called woodland savannas) or woodland and chaps rr hand (often present vase, the trees are widely spaced and intePbPetrsed with islands of grassland and moderately dense chaparral consisting Primarily of manzanita and Ceanothus.

Many additional plant species that presently lie dormant are the project area. Presumed' to occupy The Sierra Nevada range is an immense uplifted t ward - tilted block fault system, and consequentlyy the wosterntslopti grade's y genu to the west from the Sierran Crest to the California Central VC,11ey where it disappears beneath deep alluvia (Bateman and Wahrhaftig 1966;10 7) . Much of slope of the northern Sierra cothe western nsists of flat-topped or gently rolling table lands with truncated sides that are often locally interspersed with systems of jagged peaks. bordered by V-shaped river, canyons several hundred afeet' ble to 8 ds are feet deep which generally align to a southwesterly 3,man and Wahrha'ftig 1966: 117; Durrell. 1966:188), The uplifting (Bateman westward tilting of the Sierra Nevada;, caused b. teatonie forces y y tremendous ► greatly accelerated the flow of the streams, Which in turn enablod the streams to out Channels of great depth. tEthnbgraphic Background The project area lies within the territory formt;i� a division of the Northw1y held byc�s'ter,� Maida cr IConkow,, Indians, who inhabited much of what is now Butte County within thu Butte Creek and lOWee Feather River drainage basins, The Honcut Creek People who settled alone8 , perhaps including the people w;.o exploited or 2 r ea ma have been dialectic a3,14 "x inhabited the project ae , y, tpRhaitional between the Konkow and the Southern Maidu or NisAnar) (Kpoeber 1925:393; Riddell 1978:370-372"' The Northwestern Maidu were culturally and linguistioally t,E,)1toted to the Northeastern or Mountain Maidu, who inh"bitod thb 11Y111p Feather River drainage basin in much of what is now Rlumar Oouny an far east as the Sierran crest, and the Southern Maidu or Niscnan who occupied portions of the mountains and that r Cctrtrul valley to the south within the Dear, Yuba, and Amorioalq River, drainage basins (Riddell 1978:370-372; Wilson and Towrle 1978:387-388)• Collectively, these three Maiduan- speakizig divisions comprised one of five linguistic families within the California Penutian linguistic stock (Riddell 1978:370; Shipley 1963) Kroebe d Merriam (`1966.) further divide theNorthwestern Maidu into local r (1932) an "Crib elets". A tribelet, also called a. "village community", can be defined as consisting of the inhabitants of two or more politically confederated vil'lageS united under the leadership of the head man of the most prominent Village. Each tribelet acted as a homogeneous sociopolitical- unit in matters of land ownership, "reaction to trespass, war, and ceremonies. The head man was often assisted in his offive by lesser officials and a council of elders. Most tribelet leaders nruled" by virtue of their wisdom, experience, and acquired: respectrather than through any, real authority. Tribelets were distinguished on the basis of location, minor variations i,n dialect, and internally perceived sociopolitical differentiation (Kroeber 1932:258). The Northwestern Maidu preferred to locate their major villages atop the crests of ridges high above the rivers, or part ' of the way down the walls of the canyons on mid-slope benches, particularly where there were springs (Dixon 1905:175; Kroeber 1925:395)• Level clearings with :southwestern exposures were favored for settlements ('Kroeber 1925:395-396)• From these villages or base a'amps, they exploited virtual.l,y every environmental niche within their terr;ltor,ies. tEven before the arrival of large numbers of euro-American settlers and miners, the Indians felt the effects of the presence of white Civilization.. In 18330 an epidemic of what is believed to have been malaria was brought into the California Central Valley and lower foothills from Oregon by fur trapping Parties. The pestilence killed as many as 759 of the native people in its path (Cook 1955:322). The Indians never recovered from this catastrophe sufficiently to effective).y resist the invasion of their homeland during and after the G61d Rush. The initial hostility between' whites and the Northwestern Maida`probably oeaurred well before the gold 'rush in 1843, when a 3 a Indian's (Bidwell, 1 06115-79 tab a0 party of travelers fired on the i ostilities intens-ifred during the cited by R'` Edell 1978:3857)• H early Years; 1zf the gold ruah Along with epidemics, armed attacks; and forced pa-iioval, ttlo Indians had to contend with `.he destruction of the flbberier► and other resources by gold miners and the exclusion of Ifidians froth Prime hunting and food gathering lands ciAi ed many y bas t6 shomele0a They were soon. reduced to poverty, and refuees g in 1k1heir own country. During the lute 18506 and 18600, most of the sur living Maidu were removed to the Round Vallay Indian Reservation, and the county's ''Indian troublbtit+ eventua11Y ceased (Wells and Chamber$ 1973:221-;222). ` A few Maidu Indians reside in Butte and Rlumas Counties today, and many of them are involved in efforts to revive their' native language arid culture. eArchaeological Background A cultural sequence that ostensibly represents Maid'uaO prehistory has been inferred from excavations in two localities in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada. On the basis of archaeological i'nvFstigations wiihin the Oroville Locality, a five -phase sequence Was ,ndicated (Olsen and Riddell 1963; Rittor The most recent phase is represented by the Historitl r 1970)- exemplifies the material culture of th6 Complex that clearly ethnographic Northwestern Maidu. The Oroville Complex oocup;iet `S h o the protohistoric period from about A.P. 1500 to 1 830• Sweetwater Complex predates the Oroville Complex from about A+D 800 to 1500: The Bidwell Complex dates from about A.D. 1 to 800= preceding the Bidwell Complex is the somewhat enigmatic Mesilla Complex (Ritter 1970:173-17 The Mesilla Complex has been compared to the AontemporaneaUs Mantis Complex of the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the basis of similarities in litklic technology, although Olsen and Riddell still found sufficient differences to consider(consider59j the Mesilla and Martis Complexes to be representative of two distinct cultures• Markley (197 8) and Rit'tcr (1970) agree that thdre appears to a be an unbroken oken cultural sequence for at least tho last 2,009 years in the Orroville Locality, suggesting that 0.1 Four of the, post -Melilla Complex eatpressions might be ancestrdl to the Mai -du ora closely ,elated cult"Wal group.

Went of the Project area, was established in 1.850 by members of the Wyandotte Indian tribe from the Eastern United States. In 1855-56, W-randotte was briefly considered as a possible site for the ):9utte County seat (TalLitzer 1987:29, 40, 48) One of the first two schools within Butte County was established at Wyandotte in 1853 (Talbitzer 1987:61), Gold mining continued to be important during the late 1850u in such communities as Bangor and Forbestown both within about a ? siX mile radius of the project area. Gripper was discovered near Wyandotte in 1863, but not in commercially significant quantities (McGie 1982o58; Talbitzer. 1987;58). Forbestown, located about six miles northeast of the project area, was founded in 1850 by W. C. Forbes and his companions who Opened stores for miners of the district:. This town harbored many miners of the upper mounta{,n slopes during the wi,n'ter when conditions at the higher elevations. Were difficult. A stamp mill, for crushing gold' -laden quartz to release the metal from the ore was erected here in 1851. By the end of 1853, about 1,000 people occupied T`,,Nbestown (MeCie 1982[I]i57-59). The town of Bangor, situated about five miles southwest of ' the project area, Was founded in 1855 by the Lumbert brother's of Bangor' Maine, who opened a store there; mother Store had been built nearby by L. C. Hyland.

The Oroville--Wyandotte Irrigation System had its beginnizigs in the early days of the Gold Rush. Gold mining required immense volumes of water to separate the gold from the matrix, wash away the debris, and to power pumps, hoists, water wheels, and processing egaaipmont suQh as stamp mills. Many drift and hydraulic mihoo were not fortuitously located near streams, so extensive water gathering and transport systems evolved simultaneously with the mining industry.' In fact, the building of flumes and ditches to cond4aot t water to the mines became a multi-million dollar industry in its own right. By the 1860s, over 5,000 miles of artificial water courses had been constructed, and by .the 1880s, there were more' than 8,000 miles. Many of these systems ultimately constituted the nucleus of modern-day irrigation networks and hydroelectric systems (Coleman 1952:92-a3), In 1888, the Palermo 'Land and Water Company was formed for the purpose of purchasing about 6,000 acres of Land, in the vicinity of Orovill;e and present-day Palermo (then 'Palermo Ranch). The company provided water to subscribers via a train canal and lateral canals that included the Montana and Utah ditches. Much of this system hadbeen constructed in. 1885 to serve .hydraulic mining operations (McGie 1982CI]:194), but by the Late 1880s, hydraulic mining had been sharply curtailed by judicial and legislative actions. ' in 1907, the South Feather Land and Water Company was oPganizedi The old Forbestotiin and Union Canal was refurbished $ and the newly formed company VAs soon providing, about 300 acres with irrigation water in the Bangor and Wyandotte districts. The Oroville-Wyandotte Irrigation District WaS formed in 1919, and it incorporated both the Palermo Land and Water Company and the South Feather Land and Water Company holdings. By that time, the Palermo Land and Water Company was providing irrigation water to about 2,600 acres, while the South Feather Land and Water Company serviced around 2,000 acres. The water came primarily from the South Fork of Feather River and its tributaries (McGie 198�[II]t8). GQAI.Sk, 90Qi'B OF i1011, AND, MFT18Qb5 The goals of thi.6 cultural ri-8ource investigation were to locate and record all oiiltural reso+arces within the projact area; evaluate their significance in relation requirements for the National Register of Historib Plabe3 (NR14ty HP) o"to eligibility and the criteria for important sites as stated in Appel hdix C of CSQA,, and to recommend appropriate mitigative pvooedureb for significant resources that face potential impacts: 8 The scope of work included a records search ar,d 11torature l project area. p archaeological reconnai4sanee of the review aloe. with a complete The records search was conducted by t11c COIJ.f ornia Archaoological Inventory, Northeast rnform(1tJ,o11 Center Calitornia State University, Chico.

It consists of a stoner wa,l, apparently built by Chihese labor during the last century, which is associated with, a scattering of glass and other artifact ,fragments, 9 in December, 1988, three major prehistoric farchaeoingical sites were recorded less than two and one-half milos to the uouth of the projeot area by archaeologist Neal Neuenschwandor on behalf of PAS (Farber 1988). in light of the presence of nearby historic farad. prehistor.i'c i cultural sites, and given the long history of mining in the Q project vicinity, it was determined that the project area was somewhat sensitive with respect to cultural resources. Field SurveyResults The complete archaeological reconnaissance of the projeet area failed to reveal: evidence of the presence of historic or proh3st6ric cultural ,resources.

I looked over the map the Planning Depart-» mont submitted and if i understood it,; their legal access is from upper Black Bart Road to Firecamp,; to Sandra Lane east,, to Shirley Land, to Wayman Lane: if this is correct, how do we, who have legal access from Black Bart Monument, via Sandra L&ne and Sandra Lane West condrol this access that we know they use?

The developers were required to construct the roads to a 16 ft. wide, traversable access standard'. This was the minimum Butte Co. toad standard in effect at that time. if, the applicants were attempting to create the two parcels in question today, they would be required to construct their private road frontage to the RS -8 -LD 11 standard and the road from the end of their property to the maintained public road to the RS -8 -LD I standard (see attached copies of road standards). At present there are no specific road: standards pertaining to Use Permits. Road standard requirements can. vary depending upon the location and type of project. Should the property owners in the area wish to have the roads taken into the County maintained mileage system, the following items would be required; 1.

As this Commission knows, a 11projert" means the whale of On action, which hes a potential for resultinq in physical change in Ve environments Directly or ultimately... (Id,, 15389 (a) ) The project under consideration, by this Commission is not merely a use permit for a meditation retreat. It includes the ultimate development of a 25 acre 'parcel in a "M-R Zone', on which "addi-- tion4l building will take place in the future." In my converga-- tion with staff, I am informed that additional. development will be considered as it is proposed to staff. of CDQA. Such is not the thrust Staff, in part II of the Checklist, finds that the projFsct does tot have significant cumulative impact. As set forth in section 15355 of the Guidelines, "'Cumulative impacts' refers to two or more individual effects which, considered toge.th.er, are considerable or Which compound or increase other environmental impacts. (a) The individual effects ma,;� be changes rc � sul,ting front a single project or a number of neparate projects: 'M (b) The cumulative impact from several p,>•oje4 is is the change in the environment which results from the incremental impact of the project when added to other The Honorable Planning Commission Page Three May 24, 1989 i closely related past, present, and reasonably foresee- ab oresee_ able robable future Projects. CUmulativ 011jacts can result from individually minor but collect:j ely sirs. nificant projects taking .place over a per otos time. (Emphasis added.)" I would first suggest that this Commission find ("hat this "pro- ject" will have deleterious impacts on the'envircnment when the project is considered as being the "whole of the action" con- templated. secondly, I would submit that staff must consider "reasonably .foreseeable probable future projects." The applicant, in all candor, admits that future building will take place. Yet,, no where in the Checklist nor in the Findings are cumulative impacts actually addressed: As stated in Ch.ristward Ministry v. 5u2erior court, (1986) 164 Cal. App. 36 184, 1861 "CEQA is essentially an environmental full disclosure statute, and the EIR is the method (of'J disclosure ...'� (Citations omitted.) "Ain EIR is required for any project make it may be fairly argued a project will have a significant impact on the environment." Given the intention of the applicant to expand its facilities in the future (eg. , parking for 100 cars and additional, development and building), it is only fair to state that the entire project, including cumulative impacts, must be addressed in an EIR. This is not a sitltaf, 4c' where it can be stated that future projects associated witrz the .apps, :cation are 'unknown or speculative. such a piecemeal envll ronn, ;. ,tal review as is presently i.n process_ is as this Commissi n realizes, prohibited by ctQA.

Declaration could not be appropriate. Finally, am' for purposes of preserving the rights of my client, I note that; opponents have vigorously presented the Commission with concerns of road, dust; and traffic hazards; serious water problems; severe impact on the integrity and chai.acterof, tho surrounding neighborhood fire hazards; noise; lighting; and sanitation and waste disposal.

We moved to this address for the peace and quiet, We feel that the Vovi Association, with it's increased traffic on our road is not appropriate for this area. This is a private road and a residential area, it is not: 'right to have a public use area Just past our residence, The mci,eased traffic will mean increased dust as well as a danger to our children, pets and pence of mind, We hope yOu will deny the Vovi Association the right to build a public use facility" on Wayman Lane, Thar w vo r, .(.

This will lead to a change in absorpl-i.on ra,bes, P drainage atterns and the rate and amount of surface rUaOff which could lead to, increased erosion ;and siltation of the stream on site; Of additional concern is the flushing of motor oils and o`GJ-.IOr contaminates from the parking area as we! as residue from chemicovl.s commonly used for residential and landscap- , purposes. Meeting the requirements of the California State Department of Fish and Came EOr discharge of surface waters into natural streams should prov,J.de adequate protection to surface waters in the area, lh All of Butte County is located within a moderate earthquake intensity Zone VIII. The subject property is located approxima"LalY three miles east of. faults<,-,!sociated with the Foothill Shear Zone and approximately 5 miles east of the Cleveland Hills Fault which supported the 1915 Orovill0 earthquake. Construction of buildings to Uniform Building Code Standards for seismically active areas should provide adequate protection to occupants in case of seismic activity.. 3g,hi. Water for the project will be provided by private on-site wells. Discussions with the Butte County Environmental Health Department indicate that the existing well on-site should be adequate for the proposed use, but that extended use on a week long basis could result in draw down and limited water supplies. Discussions with the applicant indicate hat the heaviest use of the center will be on weekends with onlythe five permanent residents on-site during the week4 There may be occasional week long uses of the center, but not to the full extent experienced on weekends. it is recommended that the project be conditioned to allow full occupancy only on weekends. This give groUndwaters adequate time to recharge and will also reduce other impacts to the neighborhood. 3i An OWID (Oroville Wyandotte irrigation District) canal tray-�r$es the southeaster) corner of tY,e property.
