i <br /> 1 <br /> Teichert Aggregates <br /> i Agricultural Property Assessmcnt <br /> r <br /> General Background <br /> Teichert Aggregates proposes to convert the subject parcels from the current <br /> agricultural use to interim resource extraction, followed by reclamation to farmland. It is <br /> proposed that the resources underlying the parcel be extracted on a phased basis, involving <br /> the removal of approximately 100 acres of orchard the first year. The remainder of the <br /> acreage will be excavated gradually over a 40 to 50 year period. After the first year no <br /> more than 80 acres, more or less, will be disturbed by mining during a given year. <br /> Following the removal of the aggregate material the land will be returned to agricultural <br /> production. The land excavated during each phase will be reclaimed at the end of that <br /> phase. <br /> The purpose of our investigation is to determine the impact this interim use of the <br /> property will have on agriculture in the vicinity and the County's agricultural industry. <br /> The subject parcel comprising 820.0 acres of.lands is presently utilized for intensive <br /> production of orchard crops. A summary of the use is as follows: <br /> Project Percentage Project <br /> Crops of Prosect Area Acres <br /> Almonds 78.26% 690.0 <br /> Apricots 11.34% 100.0 <br /> Cherries 3.40% 30.0 <br /> TOTAL 820.0 <br /> f <br /> I <br /> r—t,x«d by: the McCARTY Company S/13/91 <br /> )3io•r.ri�ed Ak—.11ural S—.ces <br />
