Shasta. (Figure 1. Project Vicinity and Figure 2. Site Location). The Project is located in Section 31 of Township 41 North, Range 04 West, (Mount Diablo Base and Meridian). It is also known as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 021-071-320 and 021- 071-330. The approximate center of the site is located at latitude 41º21’ 02” N and longitude 122º20’19” W. Project Description: The Proposed Project is for a request to rezone of two existing parcels totaling ±33.5 acres in size from AG-2 (Non-Prime Agriculture) to M-M (Light Industrial). The Project would also create a contractor’s yard, a 4,000-square-foot floor shop/office building, a concrete grinding residue washout basin, a truck parking area for company trucks and a storage area for the construction material and items related to construction. The Project would provide a gravel surface for parking areas of the Project site. Public Review Period: June 12, 2020 – July 12, 2020 Mitigation Measures Incorporated into the Project to Avoid Significant Effects: CUL-1: If subsurface deposits believed to be cultural or human in origin are discovered during grading and construction activities, all work must halt within a 100-foot radius of the discovery. A qualified professional archaeologist, meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for prehistoric and historic archaeologist, shall be retained to evaluate the significance of the find, and shall have the authority to modify the no-work radius as appropriate, using professional judgment. The following notifications shall apply, depending on the nature of the find: • If the professional archaeologist determines that the find does not represent a cultural resource, work may resume immediately, and no agency notifications are required. • If the professional archaeologist determines that the find does represent a cultural resource from any time period or cultural affiliation, he or she shall immediately notify the lead agency Draft MND S-1 June 2020 Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration Southern Oregon Ready Mix Rezone (Z1804) Project and applicable landowner. The agency shall consult on a finding of eligibility and implement appropriate treatment measures, if the find is determined to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or California Register of Historic Places (CRHR). Work may not resume within the no-work radius until the lead agency, through consultation as appropriate, determines that the site either: 1) is not eligible for the NRHP or CRHR; or 2) that the treatment measures have been completed to their satisfaction. • If the find includes human remains, or remains that are potentially human, the archaeologist shall ensure reasonable protection measures are taken to protect the discovery from disturbance (AB 2641). The archaeologist shall notify the Siskiyou County Coroner (as per § 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code). The provisions of § 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, § 5097.98 of the California PRC, and AB 2641 will be implemented. If the Coroner determines the remains are Native American and not the result of a crime scene, the Coroner will notify the NAHC, which then will designate a Native American Most Likely Descendant (MLD) for the Project (§ 5097.98 of the PRC). The designated MLD will have 48 hours from the time access to the property is granted to make recommendations concerning treatment of the remains. If the landowner does not agree with the recommendations of the MLD, the NAHC can mediate (§ 5097.94 of the PRC). If no agreement is reached, the landowner must rebury the remains where they will not be further disturbed (§ 5097.98 of the PRC). This will also include either recording the site with the NAHC or the appropriate Information Center; using an open space or conservation zoning designation or easement; or recording a reinternment document with the county in which the property is located (AB 2641). Work may not resume within the no-work radius until the lead agency, through consultation as appropriate, determines that the treatment measures have been completed to their satisfaction. Timing/Implementation: During construction Monitoring/Enforcement: Siskiyou County GEO-1 If paleontological or other geologically sensitive resources are identified during any phase of Project development, the construction manager shall cease operation at the site of the discovery and immediately notify Siskiyou County. Siskiyou County shall retain a qualified paleontologist to provide an evaluation of the find and to prescribe mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level. In considering any suggested mitigation proposed by the consulting paleontologist, Siskiyou County shall determine whether avoidance is necessary and feasible in light of factors such as the nature of the find, project design, costs, land use assumptions, and other considerations. If avoidance is unnecessary or infeasible, other appropriate measures (e.g., data recovery) shall be instituted. Work may proceed on other parts of the Project site while mitigation for paleontological resources is carried out. Timing/Implementation: During construction Monitoring/Enforcement: Siskiyou County Draft MND S-2 June 2020 Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration Southern Oregon Ready Mix Rezone (Z1804) Project NOI-1: The following best management practices shall be incorporated during Project construction. • Project construction activities should be limited to daytime hours unless conditions warrant that certain construction activities occur during evening or early morning hours. • Locate stationary construction equipment as far as possible from the nearby noise-sensitive properties. • Notify the nearby residence whenever extremely noisy work (e.g., pile driving, use of pneumatic drill) would be occurring. • Shut off idling equipment. • Install temporary or portable acoustic barriers around stationary construction noise sources. Timing/Implementation: During Project grading and construction activity.

    A Tribute to John Montague Gillett, 1918–2014 ERICH HABER 60 Baywood Drive, Stittsville, Ontario K2S 2H5 Canada Haber, Erich. 2015. A tribute to John Montague Gillett, 1918–2014. Canadian Field-Naturalist 129(1): 90 –96. John Montague Gillett (Figure 1), or “Jack,” as he was called by everyone, was born in Ottawa on 26 November 1918, the only child of Elizabeth and John C. Gillett, both of whom came from large families in England. Elizabeth left England as a lady’s handmaiden on a passenger liner bound for the United States. She subsequently moved to Ottawa, and John joined her there. John was a machinist and Elizabeth worked as a chef in her early career. Jack grew up in the Westboro area of Ottawa, where he explored with like-minded friends such as Lloyd Francis, former member of the Canadian Parliament and Speaker of the House. Jack and friends spent their holi - days at Constance Bay and occasionally would cross the Ottawa River in a rowboat equipped with a sail. They would climb the escarpment (“the mountain”) in an area that would become part of Gatineau Park, Que - bec. For thrills, they would also dive into the turbulent waters at Hog’s Back Falls, Ottawa. Jack completed his secondary school studies at Glebe Collegiate Institute in 1937. At Glebe, he also learned shorthand and typing. This bode well for Jack because, while working part time after school cleaning up in the chemistry lab, he was asked by a staff member to type FIGURE 1. John M. Gillett, 1974.

  • Appendix N Biological Database Queries and List of Species Observed
    APPENDIX N BIOLOGICAL DATABASE QUERIES AND LIST OF SPECIES OBSERVED NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE REPORT United States A product of the National Custom Soil Resource Department of Cooperative Soil Survey, Agriculture a joint effort of the United Report for States Department of Agriculture and other Shasta-Trinity National Federal agencies, State Natural agencies including the Forest Area, Parts of Resources Agricultural Experiment Conservation Stations, and local Humboldt, Siskiyou, Shasta, Service participants Tehama, and Trinity Counties, California; and Siskiyou County, California, Central Part September 6, 2016 Preface Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases.
