6-25-96 Tom Gau sent a letter to Dewey George indicating deficiencies in the application. The letter also advised Dewey George to submit the required information or withdraw the application within 30 days or the Community Development Department will deny the application. The most recent letter of request is dated June 25, 1996 to Dewey George from Tom Gau and is attached for your information. The most significant issue regarding the information requested is the stream profile analysis. This analysis is necessary in order to determine the affects of the project on upstream and downstream property owners as well as determining the slope and size of rock used to stabilize the bank and prevent further erosion. Because Dewey George has not provided the requested information, and more specifically because staff does not have the expertise to deal with bank stabilization along such a major river as the Calaveras, we asked the civil engineering firm of Kjeldsen, Sinnock & Neudeck to evaluate the project proposal and documentation being requested by staff. Ken Kjeldsen's response concluded that a stream profiia--analysiT, among other things, was-required. Those agencies with permit authority are as follows: AGENCY PERMIT Community Development Department Agricultural Excavation State Department of Fish and Game Streambed Alteration Permit (662 Permit) Department of Public Works/Flood Control Water Course Encroachment Permit Army Corps of Engineer Section 10 Permit, Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 Section 404 Permit, Clean Water Act (Wetlands) Department of Army Permit State Lands Commission Dredging Permit Land Use Lease State Reclamation Board Encroachment Permit Regional Water Quality Control Board National Pollution Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) The above list of agencies are those that we are aware of, however, other permits may be required. Contrary to Dewey George's request, San Joaquin County cannot abrogate its permit authority or the permit authority of another agency. If the Department of Fish and Game were to become the permittee, then they would become exempt from the San Joaquin County Ordinance requirements, as provided for in Development Title Section 9-1405.5(g). This provision requires that the public agency take full responsibility for the project and that any excess material must be used solely for projects under control of that public agency, within that agency's boundary and San Joaquin County.
