Document Description
The proposed project includes earthmoving, clearing of chaparral and installation and maintenance of erosion control measures associated with the development of +/- 15.6 acres of new vineyard (12.1 net vine acres), located in the southwest corner of a 73.8 acre parcel located approx. 400 ft. north of the terminus of the east fork of Soda Canyon Rd., approx. 7 miles north of Silverado Trail and 5 miles northeast of the Town of Yountville. Access to the project site would be from these roads. The parcel is located in an Agricultural Watershed (AW) zoning district, with a Napa County General Plan designation of Agriculture, Watershed and Open Space. Existing slopes range from 0% to 35%, with an average slope of 15%. Water for the project would come from an existing well located at the southwest corner of the parcel. An erosion control plan (#03020-ECPA) has been prepared. Grading would be limited to the proposed vineyard area. No trees over 6" dbh are proposed for removal. Deer fencing would be placed only around the vineyard blocks. Spoils created from grading would be placed only around the vineyard blocks. Spoils created from grading would be placed on the east ends of the vineyard blocks. Erosion control measures include straw mulch, silt fences, water bars, diversion ditches and a no-till cover crop with 75% coverage. No future projects are anticipated for this parcel.
