Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for Use Permit No.PA-1800316 <br /> of Ahmed Hussein(cio Shack&Company) <br /> Dear Mr.Sanfilippo: <br /> On behalf of Pescadero Reclamation District 2058(District),I am submitting these <br /> additional comments regarding proposed Use Permit No.PA-1800316 of Ahmed Hussein <br /> (c/o Schack&Company)for a slaughterhouse,chicken farm,and two(2)metal barns with a <br /> 6,000-foot chicken enclosure(Project). The District appreciates the opportunity for additional <br /> time to evaluate the Project and Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration(IS/MND),as <br /> well as the materials included with the Staff Report prepared for the Planning Commission's <br /> February 6,2020 agenda(Staff Report). <br /> The District is a special district formed and existing pursuant to Division 15 of the <br /> California Water Code,section 50000 et seq. It is located in the southern portion of the <br /> Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta on the westerly and southerly side of Paradise Cut. The <br /> District provides reclamation(drainage and flood control)and irrigation services to the lands <br /> lying within its boundaries. The District is responsible for the operation and maintenance of <br /> nearly 9 miles of levees,which protect approximately 8,000 acres of agricultural,residential, <br /> commercial and industrial land in San Joaquin County near the city of Tracy. The District <br /> holds pre-1914 appropriative and riparian water rights to divert water from Tom Paine Stough <br /> for irrigation. <br /> The Project has the potential to result in a number of significant impacts of concern to <br /> the District that are not adequately addressed or mitigated in the IS/MND,including impacts <br /> to water quality,air quality,and from an increase in vectors and varmints,as well as access to <br /> District facilities. <br /> Planning Commission Staff Report, PA-1800316(UP) 85 <br /> Response Letters <br />
