1260 Shady Brook Vineyard Track I Agricultural Erosion Control Plan (ECPA) P25-00011-ECPA

The project at 1260 Shady Brook Lane in Napa, California, involves the development of a 1.3 gross acre vineyard with 1.0 net planted acres distributed across two blocks, requiring significant land disturbance on slopes exceeding 5 percent. Activities include clearing native oak woodland and ruderal vegetation, earthmoving, land contouring, and the installation of agricultural infrastructure such as trellis and irrigation systems, all governed by the approved 1260 Shady Brook Vineyard Erosion Control Plan prepared by Applied Civil Engineering Incorporated. Comprehensive environmental and technical studies support the plan, including habitat assessments, soil loss and hydrologic analyses, water availability evaluations, and application materials that validate mitigation strategies. Construction is scheduled to begin in April 2025, with Phase 1 completion anticipated by August 2025, followed by a mandatory winter shutdown from October 15, 2025, to April 1, 2026, and vine planting to occur in 2025 or spring 2026. The entire construction timeline is estimated at four to six months, with performance obligations tied to adherence to the ECP and all associated technical exhibits. Compliance with environmental and safety regulations is strictly enforced through specific best management practices, including proper handling and storage of hazardous materials, containment of fuel and chemical spills, and mandatory 100-foot setbacks from watercourses and wells. All chemical applications must conform to state and federal laws, with herbicide applicators required to hold state licenses enforced by the Napa County Agricultural Commissioner. Workers must be trained in spill prevention and response, and all discarded containers and oily waste must be appropriately disposed of. Solid waste must be managed under federal, state, and local statutes, and buffers must be maintained per county standards. The project is administered under Napa County with a solicitation number of P25-00011-ECPA and classified under NAICS code 541620 as a forecasted action, with all submittals and certifications tied to the applicant’s affirmation of truth and accuracy.
