LEGAL DESCRIPTION Portions of sections 29, 31, and 32, Township 5 North, Range 7 East of the USGS 7.5 -minute Clements and Wallace topographic quadrangles (Figure 2). SITE DESCRIPTION The focus of the project site is a year round 540,000 laying hen poultry operation. This operation sits on approximately 763 +/- acres and consists of several poultry houses and associated waste water storage ponds, employee houses, office, egg processing plant, storage buildings, and a woody block. Annual rangeland with scattered oaks and associated seasonal wetlands make up the remainder of the land not utilized by the actual poultry operation (Figure 3). The woody block consists of rows of trees that are completely encased with a soil berm around it. This area holds excess rain runoff water from Honen's 7 through 10. The trees will uptake the water in this basin. The site is bound on the north by KRC Aggregate and annual rangeland, on the east and west by annual rangeland, on the south by Brandt Road and more annual rangeland. There are a few ranchette homes within some of the annual range sites. The Mokelumne Aqueduct is piped and runs through the site from east to west. Elevations at the site are approximately 250 to 350 feet above sea level. The average annual precipitation consists of approximately 17 inches per year.
