UPDATED WILLIAMSON ACT PRINCIPLES OF COMPATABILITY PA -0200182 REED LEASING GROUP , LLC/ BASIC RESOURCES 1 . The use will not significantly compromise the long -term productive agricultural capability of the subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves • This finding can be made because the proposed quarry operation is a compatible use for parcels subject to a Williamson Act contract and the entire site will be reclaimed to restore its agricultural viability upon the completion of the quarry operation . Therefore , it will not significantly compromise the long -term productive agricultural capability of the subject contracted parcel or parcels or other contracted lands in agricultural preserves . 2 . The use will not significantly displace or impair current or reasonably foreseeable agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves . Uses that significantly displace agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels may be deemed compatible if they relate directly to the production of commercial agricultural products on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or neighboring lands , including activities such as harvesting , processing , or shipping . • This finding can be made because the use will not significantly displace or impair current or reasonably foreseeable agricultural operations on the subject contracted parcel or parcels or on other contracted lands in agricultural preserves . The proposed use is for the extraction of aggregate material only and it will increase the agricultural viability by removing the sand and soil . No topsoil will leave the site , and the site will be reclaimed back to a walnut orchard . 3 . The use will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open - space use . In evaluating compatibility , a board or council shall consider the impacts on non -contracted lands in the agricultural preserve or preserves . • This finding can be made because the entire site will be reclaimed and the reclamation to a walnut orchard will occur in phases as shown in the amended Reclamation Plan dated May 4 , 2015 , and revised on February 9 , 2024 . As each phase is completed , reclamation will commence . Total reclamation will be within 2 years after all excavation has been completed . Therefore , it will not result in the significant removal of adjacent contracted land from agricultural or open -space use .
