Reclmation Plan Amendment - TCR-2

Reclmation Plan Amendment - TCR-2

The applicant is proposing an amendment to the original Reclamation Plan #04-01; which will include a Reclamation Plan that will ensure the end use of the mine complies with SMARA and the Tehama County General Plan. The mine ceased operation in 2018 and the mine operator, Thomas Creek Rock, Inc., has been in the process of reclaiming the site (closed under reclamation). The applicant request an amendment to the following five items. 1) To reduce the amount of acreage in the reclamation plan from 131.31 acres to 94.12 acres. 2) Change the end use in the East area of the mine from irrigated pasture to non-irrigated pasture. 3) Changing the end use in the West Area of the mine from irrigated pasture to Apiary use. 4) Permit the finished floor elevations of the mine to be at a lower elevation than shown on the original reclamation plan maps, not to exceed 190’ in elevation to allow for drainage. 5) Installing a small berm to help reduce stream flows from entering the mine during higher flows in Thomes Creek. The proposed project is located in an AG-2; Agricultural Zoning District, NR; Natural Resources and PF; Primary Flood Plain District/Valley District in a Valley Floor Agricultural General Plan designation that allows the mining operation with a use permit.
