This application includes a Site Approval application for the <br /> expansion of an existing private water ski club to be completed in there phases. Phase 1 t include 3,400 square foot <br /> restroom and storage buildings. Phase 2, to be built within three years, to include 5,000 square foot lounge and <br /> hospitality room. Phase 3 to be 7,200 square foot office, restroom, storage and concession building to be built within five <br /> years. This project is located adjacent to the San Joaquin River, approximately '% mile northeast of the east terminus of <br /> Lorenzen Road, southwest of Manteca. <br /> San Joaquin County is a signatory to San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open-Space Plan - - <br /> (SJMSCP). Participation in the SJMSCP satisfies requirements of both the state and federal endangered species acts, <br /> and-ensures that the impacts are mitigated below a level of significance in compliance with the California Environmental <br /> Quality Act (CEQA). The LOCAL JURISDICTION retains responsibility for ensuring that the appropriate Incidental Take <br /> Minimization Measure are properly implemented and monitored and that appropriate fees are paid in compliance with the <br /> SJMSCP. Although participation in the SJMSCP is voluntary, Local Jurisdiction/Lead Agencies should be aware that if <br /> project applicants choose against participating in the SJMSCP, they will be required to provide alternative mitigation in an <br /> amount and kind equal to that provided in the SJMSCP. <br /> This project is subject to the SJMSCP and is located within the unmapped land use area. Per requirements of the <br /> SJMSCP, unmapped projects are subject to case-by-case review. This can be a 90 day process and it is recommended <br /> that the project applicant contact SJMSCP staff as early as possible. It is also recommended that the project applicant <br /> obtain an information package. http://www.sjcDg.org <br /> After this project is approved by the Habitat Technical Advisory Committee and the SJCOG Inc. Board, the following <br /> process must occur to participate in the SJMSCP: <br /> • Schedule a SJMSCP Biologist to perform a pre-construction survey prior to any ground disturbance <br /> • Sign and Return Incidental Take Minimization Measures to SJMSCP staff(given to project applicant after <br /> pre-construction survey is completed) <br /> • Pay appropriate fee based on SJMSCP findings. Fees shall be paid in the amount in effect at the time <br /> of issuance of Building Permit <br /> • Receive your Certificate of Payment and release the required permit <br /> It should be noted that if this project has any potential impacts to waters of the United States]pursuant to Section 404 Clean Water Act], <br /> it would require the project to seek voluntary coverage through the unmapped process under the SJMSCP which could take up to 90 <br /> days. It may be prudent to obtain a preliminary wetlands map from a qualfied consultant If waters of the United States are confirmed <br /> on the project site, the Corps and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) would have regulatory authority over those <br /> mapped areas[pursuant to Section 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act respectively]and permits would be required from each of these <br /> resource agencies prior to grading the project site. <br /> If you have any questions, please call (209)235-0600. <br />
