San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation & Open Space Plan (SJMSCP) SJMSCP RESPONSE TO LOCAL JURISDICTION (RTL)) ADVISORY AGENCY NOTICE TO SJCOG, Inc. To: Megan Aguirre,San Joaquin County,Community Development Department From: Laurel Boyd, SJCOG, Inc. Date: October 30, 2014 Local Jurisdiction Project Title: PA-1400162(SA) Assessor Parcel Number(s): 019-340-19 Local Jurisdiction Project Number: PA-1400162(SA) Total Acres to be converted from Open Space Use: Unknown Habitat Types to be Disturbed: Natural (G) Habitat Land Species Impact Findings: Findings to be determined by SJMSCP biologist Dear Ms. Aguirre: SJCOG, Inc. has reviewed the application referral for PA-1400162 (SA). The project includes the conversion of a 400 square foot portion of an existing 2,400 square foot agricultural building into a winery production building and the construction of a crush pad. No wine tasting events are being proposed with this application. The project site is located on the south side of Stampede Road, 400 feet west of Clements Road, Clements (APN/Address: 019-340-19, 19330 E. Stampede Road, Clements). San Joaquin County is a signatory to San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP). Participation in the SJMSCP satisfies requirements of both the state and federal endangered species acts, and ensures that the impacts are mitigated below a level of significance in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The LOCAL JURISDICTION retains responsibility for ensuring that the appropriate Incidental Take Minimization Measure are properly implemented and monitored and that appropriate fees are paid in compliance with the SJMSCP. Although participation in the SJMSCP is voluntary, Local Jurisdiction/Lead Agencies should be aware that if project applicants choose against participating in the SJMSCP, they will be required to provide alternative mitigation in an amount and kind equal to that provided in the SJMSCP. The application referral (PA-1400162, SA) is located within the parcel boundaries tied to application referral (PA-0400744, MS). The PA-1400162 (SA) disturbance is within a prior disturbed area related to the prior referral; therefore the project(PA-1400162, SA) does not need coverage under the SJMSCP. It should be noted that if this project has any potential impacts to waters of the United States[pursuant to Section 404 Clean Water Act], it would require the project to seek voluntary coverage through the unmapped process under the SJMSCP which could take up to 90 days. It may be prudent to obtain a preliminary wetlands map from a qualified consultant. If waters of the United States are confirmed on the project site, the Corps and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) would have regulatory authority over those mapped areas[pursuant to Section 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act respectively]and permits would be required from each of these resource agencies prior to grading the project site. If you have any questions, please call (209)235-0600.
