G <br /> To : Mr. Chet Davisson, Secretary 6/17/90 <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Planning Commission <br /> iUi4 2) 1 i9p <br /> From: Gertrude Queirolo <br /> Janice Merritt SAS! 1OAQUIN COUNTY <br /> Darrell Merritt PLANNING DIVISION.! <br /> We are the owners of the portion of land adjacent to the <br /> proposed Claude C. Wood Quarry Excavation near Clements . <br /> Our property consists of 111 acres of river bottom and <br /> bluff directly north of the project. It is the last piece of <br /> agricultural land from the original Clements Ranch still <br /> owned by the Clements family. <br /> We srongly object to this proposed excavation for a <br /> number of reasons . <br /> The work is extremely close to the town of Clements and <br /> our home and will generate problems with dust and noise . This <br /> coupled with the visual affects of the work going on for many <br /> years , and the results forever, seems to high a price to pay. <br /> The natural drainage of the bottom land falls away from <br /> the river. Historically surface water has found its way <br /> south of the river along the bluff then west along the bluff <br /> until it rejoins the river. <br /> An excavation of this nature will destroy this natural <br /> flow and the habitat it has generated. The water will have <br /> no egress unless massive channel work is done along the bluff <br /> to the west destroying much more wetlands. <br /> We strongly recommend disapproval of this proposal . If <br /> this recommendation is not accepted, mitigation measures <br /> should be thoroughly considered. <br /> As a minimum the following issues must be addressed in <br /> the excavation permit: <br /> 1 ) Hours of Work and restriction of weekend and 1 <br /> holiday operations . <br /> 2 ) Maximum life of operation. 2 <br /> 3 ) Flow of surface water and overflow of the 3 <br /> river. <br />
