i 1� SAN JOAUQUIN COUNTY - AGRICULTURAL EXCAVATION RECLAMATION PLAN CHECKLIST ® I. DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING: The purpose of this section is to document the conditions at the proposed site prior to mining.The lead agency will use the information provided in this section to identify potential adverse environmental impacts of the proposed mining operation. This 40-acre parcel has been cultivated in strawberries. I A. M2p5 ❑ Site Access: Provide a road map which clearly shows how to get to the site from the nearest town. See attached map entitled "Road Map" ❑ Topographic Mapz: This map is necessary to establish the location and regional setting of the mine site.The map should portray elevation contours, natural ground slopes, drainage patterns, and other topographic features of the i mine site and its surrounding region within one mile of the mine site. Use U. S. Geological Survey 7-'/z or 15 minute maps,which are the most accurate and useful. See attached map entitled "Topographic Map" B. Geology3: ❑ 1. Provide a description of the general geology of the area and a detailed description of the area in which mining is to be conducted.The information will be used to assess potential adverse environmental impacts. Specifically, the geologic description should include: ® a. A description of geologic setting. This proposed agricultural grading excavation is located between the City of Manteca and the City of Ripon in the County of San Joaquin and State of California.The project site lies on the Eastern side of the San Joaquin Valley in the Great Valley geomorphic province. The proposed project site is located in an area consisting of low alluvial plains and fans characteristic of the Great Valley(Norris I and Webb, 1990).The site lies within a broad alluvial plain of the San Joaquin River complex and ! slopes generally Southerly towards the Stanislaus River,which is approximately 21/2 miles South of the site. ® b. Geologic cross section(s) in the location of proposed slopes,dams, tailings facilities, etc. adequate to assess potential stability problems. The project site is located in a fairly flat topography(elevation approximately 80 feet above mean sea level) in the Northern part of the San Joaquin Valley. Five major geologic units lie beneath the site. These units include the metamorphic and igneous basement rock complex, consolidated marine deposits, consolidated volcanic rocks, continental deposits and unconsolidated older alluvium. Nearsurface deposits consist of Quaternary alluvial fan and river channel deposits derived from fluvial systems originating from higher elevations to the East. ❑ c. Any other geological information requested by the administering agency. C. Hydrology: 1. Describe surface and ground water resources.The description may include: ® a. Evidence of contact with the State Water Resources Control Board and the Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding possible permitting requirements(most of the concerns relating to the discharge of mine waste can be satisfied by appending the report of waste discharge and waste discharge permit to the reclamation plan). The proposed project intends to remove excess material to increase the property's agricultural potential. This project will produce NO waste discharge. Page t of 9 2006-20 Ag Ex ChecUst.doc
