Use Permit 07-09, Thomes Creek Rock (Doyle Ranch, Owner)

To establish a commercial gravel extraction operation which will remove 50,000 cubic yards of gravel over a 30-year period on 58.24 acres of lower Thomes Creek for a total extraction of 1,500,000 cubic yards. The operation would extract aggregate gravel between June to October each year from those areas of the stream channel not inundated by water and move the material to a 5.18-acre stockpile site north of the stream channel. Mining would be restricted to a "bar skimming" operation which would not exceed a depth greater than the thalweg of the creek. Located east of the community of Richfield along the east side of Hall Road in the lower reaches of Thomes Creek, just west of the confluence of the creek and the Sacramento River on property known as the Doyle Ranch. The extraction site is approximately 1,500 feet north of the Hall Road/River Road intersection.
