East Money Hole Reservoir, Grading Permit Application #ENG24-00017

Grading permit for land disturbing activities on land with slopes between 4% and 35% involving the clearing of nonnative grassland previously planted to vineyard, grading and construction of an approximately 6.8-acre-foot (AF) offstream agricultural water storage reservoir that would store water direct rainfall and surface runoff from the 3.3 acre reservoir sub-watershed. No new or expanded subsurface drainage tiles are proposed. The footprint of the proposed project is approximately 2.4 acres (i.e., project site). : The proposed project involves grading and the construction of an approximately 6.8-acre-foot (af) off-stream agricultural water storage Reservoir that would capture direct rainfall and surface runoff from the 3.3-acre reservoir sub-watershed. The footprint of the proposed Reservoir is approximately 2.4 acres (i.e., project site, development area). The proposed Reservoir would be constructed of compacted native material and would be lined with a synthetic liner. The proposed Reservoir would be developed within an existing disturbed area that was once planted to vineyard approved for replant under Track I Erosion Control Plan (ECP) P17- 00242-ECPA; no native vegetation would be removed or disturbed and no trees would be removed. The development area maintains required setbacks from blueline streams and property lines and is located outside of the Federal Emergency Management Area (FEMA) flood zones
