NA NA Yes❑ No❑X Yes❑ No❑X Yes❑ No❑X Yes❑ No❑X ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION USE ADDITIONAL PAPER, IF NECESSAR Water, Drainage and Flooding Describe any areas subject to flooding (include flood depths and flood panel map number): The entire Island,with the exception of the northern approximately 1000 feet, is in Flood Zone A2,which is an area subject to 100-year folding and for which base flood elevations and flood hazard factors have not been determined. The northern 1000 feet is in Zone C,which is an area of minimal flooding and shown on the enclosed Flood Panel Map 060299 02658. Describefthe urrent depth of the ground water and depth to potable water: From limited exploratory excavations and site observations ground s approximated to be at high tide level:Approximately 5 feet deep along lower elevations near the historic public beach areas ansouthern tip of the Island and approximately 12 feet deep at higher elevations near the northern tip of the Island. Describexisting drainage courses or eroded areas on or near the project site(e.g. rivers,creeks, swales or drainage ditches): The nortart of the island is a dredge spoils area with little vegetation,other than scattered coyote brush.Thecentral section of the islanformerly the Old Channel that separated Spud and Hog Islands, Spud to the north and Hog to the south. The Stockton Deep Whannel bisected Spud and Hog Islands west to east, leaving parts of Spud and Hog Islands on each side of the Deep Water Cl and both sides still separated by the Old Channel. The Old Channel silted in and connected the northem part of Spud with theern part of Hog,thus making one island that exists today. The island is bordered on the east by the Deep Water Channeonnected to the Haypress Reach at the northem end of the island and to Twenty-Nine Mile Cut at the southern end. Haypresch and Twenty-Nine Mile Cut merge on the west side of the island. Land, Land Use and Biota Describe the site's topography(e.g.land forms,slopes,etc.):The island has gentle slopes running from the water inland over the entire island,with the exception of high banks around the dredge spoils area on the northern end of the island. Describe agricultural land that will be lost as a result of the project(type of crops,acres, quality of soil,etc.): Although the island was historically farmed, after the Stockton Deep Water Channel divided both Spud and Hog Islands agricultural operations ceased and the Island has not been used for farming ever since. The dredge spoils area and existing marshes make it very unlikely that the island would ever be used for agricultural operations again. Describe any wildlife habitat on-site and species that are or may be present: See Project Description Describe any vegetation on-site by type and extent: See Project Description FADEVSVM\Planning Application Forns\Use Permit.(Revised"3-04) Page 9 of 9
