leads to runoff rather than soil percolation. Runoff is adverse because it causes collection problems, minimizes flood capability in channels designed to carry water from other areas, because it makes pools when it collects in areas and because it has no chance to deep percolate and replenish groundwater if it runs off of the land. 2. The existing walnut orchard will probably continue to produce on a tree by tree basis for individual lot owners; however, this will not be a commercially viable agricultural production. 3. County services will be expanded to include service to this area. A County Service District is pro- posed to monitor and maintain drainage, well, and street lighting facilities once installed by the developer. 4. Solid waste collection will be needed where none was needed before. D. Mitigation Measures Proposed to Minimize the Impact: 1. During construction, contractors could fence and utilize one lot as a construction yard. A temporary mobilehome permit would allow a caretaker to be present to watch tools and supplies. This would make less Sheriff's patrols a necessity and would probably cut the cost of tool and supply loss considerably. 2. A dry line sewer system should be installed that will feed by gravity flow to an appropriate hookup for the eventual sewer collector in Cherokee Road. Each lot should have the "stubbed -off" location of sewer service, telephone, electric, gas and water accurately shown by a stamp in the concrete of the curb and gutter. Redesign of the subdivision to reduce the amount of streets needed. Some improvements or plans for developing the frontages of properties on Cherokee Road and Cherryland Avenue would accommodate drainage, reduce standing water in winter and dirt, dust and weeds in summer. By planning for these areas, future problems would be alleviated. 3. Drainage will be available to the Calaveras River as soon as the drainage fees are completed or perhaps sooner, depending upon legislation. -30-
