Amador County – The El Dorado Irrigation District board of directors will host a public hearing today to consider approval of a land swap with the U.S. Forest Service involving parcels around Silver Lake in Amador County, as well as parcels in El Dorado and Alpine counties. El Dorado Irrigation District announced earlier this month that its board will be considering a “Land Exchange Project” at a regular meeting scheduled for 10 a.m. today (Monday, April 26th) at the EID customer services building, 2890 Mosquito Road, in Placerville. The land exchange involves 7 federal land parcels that would be acquired by EIR and 7 EID land parcels that would be acquired by the U.S. Forest Service. A public notice prepared by Dan Corcoran of EID said that all of the federal parcels are within El Dorado County and the El Dorado National Forest. The non-federal lands owned by EID that would be acquired by the forest service “consist of 7 parcels above 7,000 feet in elevation along the Highway 88 corridor.” Corcoran’s notice said “4 of the parcels are located around Silver Lake within El Dorado County and Amador County and the remaining 3 are situated around Caples Lake within Alpine County.” The involved parcels in El Dorado County include portions of the old Sno-Park parcel and Oyster Creek parcel. The notice said the parcels within Amador County include the remaining portions of the Oyster Creek and Sno-Park parcels, and the Silver Lake Campground East and Silver Shoreline parcels. The Alpine County parcels include Emigrant Cove, Caples Lake and Wood Creek parcels. The federal land parcels include the Silver Lake Campground West, Reservoir A, Moose Hall Reservoir, Bullion Bend, Pinecone North, Jenkinson B and Hazel Valley parcels. The notice for the public hearing said that in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the forest service “prepared a finding of no significant impact for the land exchange based on the results of an Environmental Assessment.” The notice also said that the El Dorado Irrigation District believes that the forest service finding meets the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. The public hearing is 10 a.m. today (Monday, April 26th) at the EID customer services building, 2890 Mosquito Road, in Placerville.
