Intent to Prepare a Joint Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Environmental Impact Report (EIR) with Sacramento County for the Proposed Aggregate Mining within the Morrison Creek Drainage Basin.

The proposed aggregate mining of approximately 950 acres of land within the Morrison Creek Drainage Basin south of Highway 16, Sacramento County, California. The area evaluated by the EIR/EIS is bounded roughly by Jackson Road (Highway 16) to the north, Excelsior Road to the east, Elder Creek Road to the south and Hedge Avenue to the west. There are four mining areas within the 950 acre study area. They are known as Granite Vineyard, Aspen III South, Aspen IV South and Aspen V South. Granite Construction Company and Teichert Aggregates have applied to the Corps of Engineers for Department of the Army permits pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Granite proposes to impact 21.95 acres of waters of the United States subject to DOA jurisdiction on their 400 acre Granite Vineyard site. The applicant proposes to reroute Morrison Creek into a bypass channel that will be constructed at the present grade. Low flows will be directed to the pit floor where the applicant proposes to mitigate for project impacts to seasonal wetlands and creek channel. Teichert proposes to impact 1.78 acres of waters of the United States subject to DOA jurisdiction on their 180 acre Aspen IV South sit
