Permit ACO26-0065

The project involves replanting 10.6 acres of vineyard in Sonoma, California, under Permit ACO26-0065, with no intention to modify the existing ministerial standards outlined in Chapter 36 of the Sonoma County Code or the adopted Best Management Practices and Technical Report Guidelines for vineyard replanting and agricultural grading. All activities will adhere strictly to the established regulatory framework designed to ensure environmental compliance and sustainable agricultural practices. The work is being conducted by the Hamel Family Wines organization, with George F Hamel and John B Hamel II listed as owners, and Omar Reveles serving as the contracted engineer responsible for technical oversight. The permitting process is managed by Sonoma County’s Agriculture and Vineyard Conservation office, with Andy Casarez serving as the primary point of contact for regulatory coordination. The project site is located within the 95476 zip code area, and all communications and compliance matters will be directed through the identified contacts. The permit was posted on June 3, 2026, as a forecasted action, indicating the start of the regulatory review and public notice phase prior to formal approval. The project remains a replanting effort focused solely on restoring vineyard productivity without expansion or material deviation from approved land-use practices.
