Rancho De Suenos Major Grading Permit; ED20-135 (PMTG2020-00044)

Request by Rancho De Suenos LLC for a Major Grading Permit (PMTG2020-00044) to construct a new, lined 9.57-acre/foot agricultural reservoir to impound water for irrigation to serve an existing vineyard. The reservoir will be approximately 300 feet long by 125 feet wide by 14 feet deep. It will be lined with a textured HDPE geomembrane and have an overflow PVC pipe outlet structure. The reservoir will be supplied with groundwater from an existing well and pump on on the adjacent property to the east of the subject property (APN 027-011-034). This property is under the same ownership as the applicant. The project would result in the disturbance of 1.75 acres of a 310-acre site including 10,274-cubic-yards of cut and 10,220-cubic-yardsof fill material. The project is within the Agriculture land use category and is located at 1 Allende Road, approximately 1 mile north west of the community of San Miguel. The site is in the Salinas River Sub Area of the North County Planning Area. The proposed reservoir will be filled using water from the existing well, and will be emptied of well supplied water from November 1st through March 31st, maintained at full condition for April 1st through May 31st for frost protection, and at a quarter full condition from June 1st through October 31st . The proposed reservoir will be used to permit greater flexibility in the irrigation practices that are associated with the vineyard operation and to provide a water supply in the event that frost protection is needed.
