Crush Partners Vineyard Track I Agricultural Erosion Control Plan Application (ECPA) P25- 00003-ECPA

The Crush Partners Vineyard project, identified by permit P25-00003-ECPA, involves the development of approximately 18.3 gross acres of vineyard within a 27.98-acre parcel located on Wooden Valley Road in Napa, California. The scope of work includes clearing grassland, earthmoving with approximately 1,000 cubic yards of cut and fill, and the installation of erosion and runoff control measures on slopes greater than 5 percent. The project consists of 7.8 acres of replanted existing vineyard and 7.8 acres of new vineyard, totaling approximately 15.6 net planted acres. Performance requirements include maintaining a permanent cover crop and vineyard avenues with a minimum vegetation cover density of 75 percent to prevent soil loss and manage peak storm flow. The project was approved by Napa County on August 3, 2026, following a Negative Declaration under CEQA indicating no significant environmental impacts. Key technical requirements include a 35-foot setback from ephemeral streams, adherence to a grading season from April 1 through September 15, and preconstruction nesting bird surveys between February 1 and August 31. The project is supported by comprehensive analyses, including a Water Availability Analysis for groundwater use, a Landslide Hazard Evaluation, and a Biological Resources Reconnaissance Survey to protect oak woodlands and special-status species. Administrative terms specify that the applicant, Rob Lloyd, is responsible for all county processing fees, with payments due within 30 days of billing.
