Butte County Zoning Administrator Notice Of 3 Department of Development Services Tim Snellings, Director Pete Calarco, Assistant Director 7 County Center Drive T: 530.552.3700 buttecounty.net/dds Oroville, California 95965 F: 530.538.7785 BUTTE COUNTY ZONING ADMINISTRATOR NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BUTTE CREEK DIVERSION 55 FISH SCREEN PROJECT CEQA17-0006 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Butte County Zoning Administrator will conduct a public hearing to consider the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Butte Creek Diversion 55 Fish Screen Project CEQA17-0006. The hearing will be held on August 15, 2018 at 10:00 am, or shortly thereafter, in the Butte County Development Services Conference Room, 7 County Center Drive, Oroville, California. The Butte Creek Diversion 55 Fish Screen Project includes the proposed installation of a retractable and self-cleaning fish screen system at the Butte Creek Diversion 55 (BC 55) site. The existing agricultural diversion is unscreened, and installation of the fish screen system would prevent the entrainment of special-status fish and would help meet the objectives of the Anadromous Fish Screen Program (AFSP). The AFSP is a program designed to protect juvenile anadromous fish from entrainment by encouraging water diversion screening and is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) with oversight from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). The site is located northeast of State Route (SR) 99, just southeast of the city of Chico, on Butte County, Assessor’s Parcel Number 040-400-004. The project is located in Township 21 North, Range 2 East, Mount Diablo Baseline and Meridian within the Chico U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle. Butte County has prepared an Initial Study and is considering adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to CEQA. The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) and reference documents for the project are on file for public review and comment starting Thursday, July 5, 2018 through Friday, August 3, 2018, at the Butte County Planning Division, 7 County Center Drive, Oroville, CA. The IS/MND is also available for review on the County website at www.buttecounty.net/dds/Planning/CEQA.aspx. All persons are invited to review the documents. Comments regarding the project may be submitted in writing at any time prior to the hearing or orally at the scheduled hearing listed above or as may be continued to a later date. If you challenge the above project in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the Zoning Administrator at, or prior to the public hearing. For information, please contact Senior Planner Rowland Hickel, Butte County Development Services Department, Planning Division at (530) 552-3684 or [email protected]. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, if you need special assistance to participate in the hearing, please contact us at (530) 552-3663.

  • Butte Co. Meadowfoam
    U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Air Force, respectively. All of the Fort Ord occurrences are on land within the Habitat Management Plan Habitat Reserve lands and will be conserved and managed in perpetuity (W. Collins in litt. 2005; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 1997). The population at Travis Air Force Base, including over 20 acres of adjacent restored vernal pools, is protected as a special ecological preserve, with protective measures and appropriate management for the species provided in the Travis Air Force Base Land Management Plan. Seasonal managed cattle grazing has been returned to two conservation sites supporting Lasthenia conjugens: 1) the Warm Springs Seasonal Wetland Unit of the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Alameda County, and 2) the State Route 4 Preserve managed by the Muir Heritage Land Trust in Contra Costa County. The L. conjugens population at the Warm Springs Unit has declined during the last 10 years due to many factors including competition by nonnative plant species. During this time period, grazing, which occurred intermittently at the Warm Springs Unit since the 1800s, has been excluded by the Refuge until a management plan could be developed. The decline in the L. conjugens population at the Warm Springs Unit cannot be attributed to a single factor, but most likely results from the complex interaction of several variables including current and historical land uses, the abiotic environment, and annual climatic variation. The increasing dominance of nonnative grasses, however, coincides with the suspension of livestock grazing, suggesting that the lack of a disturbance regime may be a primary factor in the degradation of habitat for L.

  • Limnanthes Floccosa Ssp. Grandiflora)
    Big-flowered wooly meadowfoam (Limnanthes floccosa ssp. grandiflora) ENDANGERED Flower (left), habit (center), and habitat (right) of big-flowered wooly meadowfoam. Photos by Melissa Carr (left) and Stephen Meyers (center and right). If downloading images from this website, please credit the photographer. Family Limnanthaceae Plant description Limnanthes floccosa ssp. grandiflora is a low growing annual herb 5-15 cm long. Stems and leaves are sparsely pubescent. Leaves are 1-6 cm long with linear to oblanceolate leaflets 4-8 mm long. Sepals are pubescent without at the base and densely wooly pubescent within, from 8-14 mm long. Petals are white and range from 7-10 mm long. Filaments are 4-5 mm long with anthers less than 1 mm in length. Each flower produces 3-5 obovoid nutlets ranging from 3-4.5 mm long. Depending on the rains and temperature, this taxon can be found flowering from the beginning of March to mid- April. Distinguishing characteristics Limnanthes floccosa ssp. grandiflora is morphologically similar to two other Limnanthes taxa found in the same geographical region, L. floccosa ssp. floccosa (woolly meadowfoam) and L. floccosa ssp. pumila (dwarf meadowfoam). Limnanthes floccosa ssp. grandiflora differs from these taxa in that it has sparsely pubescent stems and leaves. The stems and leaves of L. floccosa ssp. floccosa are usually densely pubescent while L. floccosa ssp. pumila is glabrous. In addition, L. floccosa ssp. grandiflora generally has larger flowers than either L. floccosa ssp. floccosa or L. floccosa ssp. pumila. Limnanthes floccosa ssp. grandiflora is often found growing sympatrically with L. floccosa ssp.

  • CITRUS BUDWOOD Annual Report 2017-2018
    CITRUS BUDWOOD Annual Report 2017-2018 Citrus Nurseries affected by Hurricane Irma, September 2017 Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Our Vision The Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration will be diligent in providing high yielding, pathogen tested, quality budlines that will positively impact the productivity and prosperity of our citrus industry. Our Mission The Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration administers a program to assist growers and nurserymen in producing citrus nursery trees that are believed to be horticulturally true to varietal type, productive, and free from certain recognizable bud-transmissible diseases detrimental to fruit production and tree longevity. Annual Report 2018 July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018 Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration Ben Rosson, Chief This is the 64th year of the Citrus Budwood Registration Program which began in Florida in 1953. Citrus budwood registration and certification programs are vital to having a healthy commercial citrus industry. Clean stock emerging from certification programs is the best way to avoid costly disease catastrophes in young plantings and their spread to older groves. Certification programs also restrict or prevent pathogens from quickly spreading within growing areas. Regulatory endeavors have better prospects of containing or eradicating new disease outbreaks if certification programs are in place to control germplasm movement. Budwood registration has the added benefit in allowing true-to-type budlines to be propagated. The selection of high quality cultivars for clonal propagation gives growers uniform plantings of high quality trees. The original mother stock selected for inclusion in the Florida budwood program is horticulturally evaluated for superior performance, either by researchers, growers or bureau staff.
