Amador County – Work still stands ahead for developers of the Gold Rush Ranch & Golf Resort and the Sutter Creek Planning Commission. Consultant Anders Hague said he and developers have modified the traffic study, which the commission will be seeing. And on questioning from Commisioner Mike Kirkley, Bob Delk of ESP Consultants, Hauge said he is working on an Environmental Impact Report for the project’s impact on water and wastewater systems in the city. He said he has been working with Assistant City Manager Sean Rabe on those impacts. Rabe said Gold Rush must pay for its fair share to treat or store effluent, whether it is used as irrigation at the golf course or if it needs to be stored, which could expand capacity of storage ponds. Kirkley asked when that EIR would be done and Rabe said “it’s got to be done before the project is approved.” Kirkley also asked whether a school site had been identified in the project, as reported in a recent story in the local newspaper. Amador County Unified School District Superintendent Dick Glock was in the audience and was asked about the report. Glock said a site had been offered by the developers and the school district had accepted 17 acres as a possible school site. Glock said “we have agreed to an arrangement where it becomes a school site if we so choose.” That would happen only after the project is approved. Some maps shown at the meeting drew puzzled reactions from the commission, and Peters said it was likely the result of developer Greg Bardini having to work with “crummy maps” in making his own maps for the project. Bardini confirmed that, saying “what you see is what we saw on the maps or what we interpreted.” Peters asked that Bardini look at the line weights to see if they match up, adding that “I guess that’s all we can do.” Peters and Cunha both found multiple errors in the City General Plan zoning description tables and noted the need to revisit and revise the General Plan.

Why to Look Out for the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug
Are you being Bugged? By Mary Tran A year ago we asked you, “Have You Seen This Bug?” It was an alert, to let you know that the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB), a new pest attacking many crops, might be coming to our county. There are plenty of BMSB in Sacramento and other parts of the state. So far, there have been no sightings in our county. Whew! The UC Cooperative Extension has actively watched for them since April, using traps set up in several parts of our county. No BMSB have been caught to date. Now that the weather is turning cooler, if there are any BMSB hiding out in our county they will be looking for nice places to spend the winter, such as your house. That means that the first person to spot one of these guys could be an innocent homeowner. The BMSB may arrive in large numbers, or just singly, through house cracks, tiny holes or clinging to windows, and they will stink if you try to sweep them or vacuum them up. If you find any suspect BMSB clustering on trees in your area, or in your house, please try to collect a sample. Put it into a sealable plastic container and bring it to UC Cooperative Extension, 311 Fair Lane, Placerville. For questions or help with samples, you can contact Mary Tran (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or Lynn Wunderlich, Farm Advisor, UC Cooperative Extension Central Sierra, (This email address is being protected from spambots.
