SHINGE SPINGS RANCHERIA
Physical Land-Use Plan
I. Introduction
This document is a physical planning tool for the Shingle Springs
Rancheria and is a presentation of a land-use element. A land-use
inventory has been accomplished by the Shingle Springs Rancheria, and
the following document should be used as a guide for land-use
designations on the Shingle Springs Rancheria.
The purpose of this document is to set potential standards for, and to
offer recommendations to regulate, the use of land on the Shingle
Springs Rancheria.
Land-use planning has a variety of definitions and models. There is
no best or universally adopted model of Land-use planning because of
the variety of contexts in which it is practiced. However, for the
purposes of this document, Land-use planning on the Shingle Springs
Rancheria is viewed as having all of the following attributes:
A spatial or locational basis - This includes the dimensions of land.
For the Shingle Springs Rancheria the spatial area includes the 160
acres of land under Tribal jurisdiction.
A functional or programmatic basis - The subject matter of planning,
including the ways in which activities or categories of land-use are
organized for decision making.
A political or jurisdictional basis - In effect, every plan has a
client who makes decisions based on the plans findings and
recommendations. In this case, the Shingle Springs Tribal Council and
its subservient entities are the decision making bodies.
A process - Some basic steps or logic, however simple or
sophisticated, that involve gathering information and providing some
guidelines or recommendations; then, reviewing actions or decisions
based upon those guidelines or recommendations.
A future orientation - Land-use planning is an attempt to anticipate
the future and bring that perspective to bear on the decision-making
process.
The tribal Land-use Plan, for the most part, does not have the track
record that is associated with municipal, regional or state
governments because of a number of circumstances that make
comprehensive planning and its requirements and unique in Indian
communities. These include:
Problems of applying the urban/regions planning model - Most planning
theory and practice is based on the developmental patterns of cities
and regions. However, the Indian setting, with its largely rural
backdrop and low element resource areas, including differing cultural/
traditional needs for housing, make the urban model inapplicable.
Differing values and perspectives on land - The traditional urban
planning model originated as a part of the reform movement to protect
land and property interests while providing some order to development
in terms of notions of general welfare. Indian notions of land are of
a larger view, including the need to protect and secure the land from
its loss or sale to outside non-Indian interests.
Federal requirements for planning - Most Tribal planning has been done
in response to Federal program or agency planning mandates (in order
to secure funds). Therefore, much of the planning has been fragmented
and as a convenience to the funding agency and rather then the Indian
community. Furthermore, when Tribes attempt comprehensive planning
across Federal responsibilities, these plans are often thwarted by the
inability of Federal agencies to coordinate supporting actions. A
good example of a long process of coordination between agencies is
that of securing housing subsidies from HUD, water and sanitation from
IHS and road construction from the BIA. This document is intended to
"pull together" the normally fragmented process of Tribal Land-use
Planning into one document.
Difference in the economic system - The urban planning model has been
developed to guide a series of public and private investments while
attempting to protect the rights and needs of the population. The
urban/regional economic system with its patterns of growth cannot be
directly transferred to an Indian setting. The problems of personal
economics, as well as the dominant role of Federal investment in the
basic economy of the Indian community must be taken into account.
Differences in language - This does not mean the difference in English
vs. native tongues, but the language vocabulary of planning and
programming and its jargon. It is important to relate the planning
process to Indian values, social interactions and notions of the
proven order of things and events. Otherwise planning will be seen as
just anther hoop to jump through to secure Federal funds and not an
important part of Tribal decision making.
Every planning effort must start by accumulating current pertinent
information. In fact, the quality of information gathered, to a large
degree, determines the quality of the planning effort. For this
reason, a complete land inventory, site survey, boundary survey,
aerial photogrammetry, and environmental assessment was conducted to
assess the status of the physical features of the Shingle Springs
Rancheria. Most of the findings are contained throughout different
sections of the document.
II. Background
The Shingle Springs Rancheria is located in El Dorado County,
California, and is comprised of 160 acres. Established by acts of
June 21, 1906 and April 30, 1908, land was purchased by the United
States Government on March 11, 1920. Land tenure of the Reservation
is in Tribal trust status. (See Feugre 1.)
The Shingle Springs Rancheria is rural and has a moderate
on-reservation population. The buildable land is used almost
exclusively for housing, with the steeper areas characterized by a
variety of oak trees and chaparral vegetation.
1. Land Resources
(a) Topography
Landforms within the Shingle Springs Rancheria are typical of
the Sierra Nevada foothills. Ranging in elevation from 1,300
to 1,650 feet, the predominate features are low rounded hills
with occasional protruding rock outcroppings and broad grassy
areas dotted with oaks. The area generally slopes from east
to west with the south west portion representing the higher
elevation.
(b) Soil Types and Characteristics
The soils on the Rancheria average 10 to 36 inches in depth
and are composed mostly of sandy silt and rock fragments.
Transported soils within drainages are deeper (up to
SHINGLE SPINGS RANCHERIA
(See hard copy)
Figure 1 - Location
5 feet) and usually are composed of very fine to medium silty
sandy loam. Typically, the soil horizon is composed of three
layers; 1) The surficial layer is composed of gravelly sandy
silt and silty very fine to medium sandy loam; 2) Medium
horizon forms at an average depth of 10 to 18 inches and is
comprised of well to slightly weathered and fractured
bedrock; 3) The third unit is of bedrock which occurs at
depths of 25 to 48 inches. According to geotechnical
investigations performed on the Rancheria (Koelzer, 1992)
shallow sites were encountered where very hard rock was
confronted at a depth of 1.5 feet below grade.
A comparison of the geology and soils information reveals a
correlation of the Rescue Soil Series and characteristically
poor percolation rates obtained from El Dorado County
Environmental Health Department records. The location of
this soil type will relegate the acceptable parcel size on
the Rancheria.
The soils in the Shingle Springs Rancheria district also
exert other limitations due to engineering characteristics.
One of the major limitations is the relationship of
stability, erodibility and the potential slumping or sliding
to industrial, commercial or residential development on the
Rancheria.
According to the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), the soils
on the Rancheria are mapped and subject to a systematic
analysis listing those groups which exhibited poor
engineering characteristics. These groups were then further
studied for developmental limitation in conjunction with the
other information systems. A soils group having a high
degree of erodibility is not necessarily considered to be
adverse to development. If this group were to occur in an
area of steep slopes, roads and building pads created would
be highly susceptible to major erosion problems.
(c) Geologic and Mineral Resources
The geology and subsequent soils of the area are a direct
result of the geologic history of the Sierra Nevada
foothills. Briefy, during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras,
interbedded siltstones, sandstones, volcanic material and
minor amounts of conglomerates were faulted and tilted to
near vertical position (nothwest strike). Late in the
Mesozoic era, the metasediments were intruded by a granitic
pluton associated with the Sierra Nevada batholith.
Subsequent volcanic and fluvial activity in the tertiary
period deposited agglomerates, tuffs and fluvial sediments
above the metamorphic and plutonic rock. Since the tertiary
period, minor Sierran uplifts and stream erosion have created
the present landscape.
Six man geologic formations are found in the Shingle Springs
vicinity, many of which are located on the Rancheria. They
are: (1) Mesozoic basic intrusive rocks; (2) Mesozoic
ultrabasic intrusive rocks; (3) Jurassic and/or triassic
metavolcanic rocks; (4) Pre-cretaceous undifferentiated
metamorphic rocks; (5) Pre-cretaceous metasedimentary rocks;
and, (6) Paleozoic marine sedimentary rocks.
The structural geology of the Shingle Springs general area is
significantly faulted. There are two documented faults near
the town of Shingle Springs, running in a north south
direction, but there is no history of activity along those
faults.
One of two documented faults follows the Big Canyon Creek
drainage, while the second follows the range line dividing
Range 9 East and Range 10 East. Both documented faults are
located 10 miles and eight miles respectively from the
Rancheria.
From information obtained from State Geologic Maps, a
relative evaluation of the geologic units occurring in the
Shingle Springs vicinity effectively determine locations
where geologic factors could exert a detrimental effect on
development.
The two major limiting geologic factors are seismic hazards
and potential surface movement by slides, slumps and
rotational earth movements.
Seismic hazards for the Rancheria are considered low.
Structural safety for seismic movement is more than
adequately covered in the Uniform Building Code (UBC) as
amended.
In contrast, the potential for surface movement is moderate
in some areas of the Rancheria. Where the necessary
components of steep slopes, unstable geology and certain soil
groups exist, compounded by springs or seeps that can
lubricat geologic units, there may be potential for
rotational or slumping movements of material. In extreme
cases, liquid waste from septic system leach fields can cause
rotational surface movement by weakening the friction between
soil/geologic groups.
The seismic hazards are considered low for the entire Shingle
Springs area. The two faults in the area are considered
inactive and represent a contact zone between two different
geologic units. The nearest major active faults are north of
Lake Tahoe, the north end of Owens Valley and in the San
Francisco Bay Area.
(d) Climate
The Shingle Springs Rancheria lies within the Mediterranean
sub-tropical climatic zone. The area is characterized by
hot, dry summers with occasional temperatures in excess of
100 degrees F and cold wet winters with temperatures
sometimes below 32 degrees F. The area receives an average
of 33 inches of preciptation, 90 percent falling between the
months of November and April. Approximately 85 percent of
the runoff occurs between January and May. Midwinter
occasionally brings snowfall which usually melts rapidly.
Information from the Cameron Park Airport reveals that
prevailing winds are generally from the northwest. During
the winter months the north wind brings cold, dry air while
the southern winds bring the warm, wet air through the
Rancheria.
Microclimates can be further extended to develop locations
within the Rancheria which, based on an analysis of climatic
factors, could provide the greatest comfort for human
habitation. An example of this concept would be to examine
the orientation of hillsides. A west facing slope faces the
setting sun and would prove to be hot during the summer
months. A north facing slope would receive virtually no sun
in the winter and would tend to be cold. The ideal locations
for residential applications are the southeast or southwest
orientation.
2. Air Quality
The overall air quality of the Shingle Springs Rancheria and
general vicinity is excellent since topographic and wind
conditions usually limit infiltration of outside pollutants.
Potential air pollutant sources are presently limited to vehicles
on Highway 50 which is adjacent to the Rancheria. When the right
climatic conditions occur (a low inversion layer and a gentle
south of southeasterly wind), air pollution may become noticeable
and possibly objectionable.
3. Living Resources
(a) Wildlife
A study of the resident and migratory animal populations in
the Shingle Springs district reveals a high correlation
between the vegetation types and the animal species
inhabiting them. With a change in habitat due to natural
plant succession (one plant community degrading another)
certain animal species will relocate and another species is
likely to appear.
At least two species of salamanders, three species of frogs
and one species of toad can be found within the Shingle
Springs district including the Rancheria. The California
Newt breeds in streams in the spring and spends the rest of
the year in moist places under forest litter. Rocks and logs
are the habitat and breeding ground for the California
Slender Salamander.
The Pacific Tree Frog can be found in moist places, while the
permanent water areas are occupied by the common Bullfrog,
the Foothill Yellow-legged Frog, and the California
Red-legged Frog. The Western Toad inhabits many shady and
moist areas especially gardens.
Several species of lizards inhabit the Rancheria and vicinity
both in brush lands and in rocky outcrops. The most common
are the Western Fence Lizard, the Alligator Lizard and the
Western Whiptail. Among the common snakes in the area are
the Gopher Snake, King Snake, two species of Garter Snakes
and the Pacific Rattlesnake.
Native birds for the most part reside in all plant
communities feeding in some and nesting in others. The oaks
of the Rancheria host large numbers of various small birds
such as the Red-shafted Flicker, Acorn Woodpecker, Scrub Jay,
Western Bluebird, Mockingbird, Plain Titmouse, Mourning Dove,
and in the winter Steller's Jay and Robin. Dead trees serve
as a nesting place for flickers and woodpeckers and as a
natural roosting place for native hawks.
The Chaparral and oak-shrub communities provide a habitat for
ground feeding birds including the California Thrasher,
Valley Quail, Bewick Wren, Towhee and migrant visitors such
as Crowned Sparrows and the Oregon Junco.
The grasslands provide food and cover for Western
Meadowlarks, Sparrows, Brewer's Blackbird, and in the wetter
areas Robin. The grasslands are the predominate hunting area
for native hawks.
Since the Shingle Spring district perpetuates gentle updrafts
or thermal air currents, it is an ideal area for the Red
Tailed Hawk, Coopers Hawk, Sparrow Hawk and the Turkey
Vulture. When not soaring, hawks and other raptors prefer to
perch on dead trees and power poles.
Although mammals of various species relate to a habitat that
best suits their respective hunting and nesting requirements,
most do not confine their activities to one particular plant
community. The Mule Deer, Opossum and Bobcat may be found in
any of the plant communities in the Shingle Springs district.
The California Grey Squirrel is the most common animal in the
oak woodland with the California Ground Squirrel, Pocket
Gopher and Striped Skunk also in abundance.
The Chaparral Oak-shrub communities are preferred by Brush
Rabbit and the Black-tailed Rabbit. Because of the abundance
of seeds and berries, these communities are also preferred by
the Dusty Footed Woodrat and the Deer Mouse. These
communities offer protection for these species and the
regular presence of small predators like the Grey Fox and
Coyote are an end result.
At night, the Rancheria is the feeding area of various
species of insect eating bats. During the days, bats are
known to rest in caves, trees, or under eaves and bridges.
There are a number of endangered, rare or protected species
of animals that are possible residents or visitors to the
Shingle Springs area. They are:
Name Status Abundance
Red-Legged Frog Fully Protected Possible
Horned Lizard Protected Resident
Southern Bald Eagle Endangered Visitor
American Peregrine Endangered Visitor
Ring-Tailed Cat Endangered Possible
These fully protected, protected and endangered animal
species, due to their mobile character are seldom seen in the
Shingle Springs area and because of their specific habitat
requirements are very intolerant by man and his activities.
(b) Vegetation
The Shingle Springs Rancheria lies in the Foothill Vegetation
Group at a point near the western limit of the Yellow Pine
Belt. The vegetation comprising of the Foothill
Group include pine/conifer stands, oak woodlands, chaparral
and open grasslands comprised of California Savanna. These
plant communities are usually intermingled and are not in a
pure state in most areas, including the Rancheria.
The plant communities in the entire Shingle Springs area have
been extensively altered by man. Mining activities,
cultivation and severe wild land fires of the past have
modified the vegetation in the entire Shingle Springs area.
The Shingle Springs Area Plan describes two vegetation
communities which are considered to be a high fire hazard.
The Chaparral group has the highest potential for destructive
fires due to the nature of the components that make up the
plant community and the high level of fuel loading. As a
year-round fire hazard, this plant community is comprised of
manzanita, buck brush, toyon, scrub oa and chamise.
The Grasslands Group is also a high fire hazard but is
seasonal in nature. During the dry summer and autumn months,
the Grasslands Group represents the vegetation type that has
the most potential for fire.
Both vegetation groups are recognized as having a definite
impact on the safety of the residents of the Rancheria as
well as the entire Shingle Springs area.
In the Shingle Springs district, there could exist at least
five rare or endangered plants, particularly in the northern
section of the area inclusive of the Rancheria. They include:
Pine Hill Ceanothus (Ceanothus Roderickii)
Pine Hill Flannelbush (Fremontodendron Decumbens)
El Dorado Galium (Galium Californicum Sierrae)
El Dorado Mule Ears (Senecio Layneae)
These rare plant species are found in specific areas where
both soil types and precipitation satisfy their habitat
requirements. These conditions are invariably met within the
Chaparral Plant community. Due to its bushy character, these
plants are often difficult to observe.
Because of the exacting habitat requirements for these
plants, they are considered to be very sensitive to
disruption by construction or other activities that can alter
their existing biotic conditions.
(c) Agricultural Resources
Lands in the Shingle Springs Rancheria are not currently
being utilized for agricultural production. According to the
Shingle Springs Area Plan developed by the El Dorado County
Planning Department, agriculture is concentrated in the
southern portion of the Shingle Springs Plan Area with
primary agriculture uses in the grazing of livestock with
isolated orchards and vineyards.
The viability of agricultural production on the Shingle
Springs Rancheria is limited due to the small area of usable
lands on the Rancheria.
4. Cultural Resource
(a) Archaeological, Historic, and Cultural Properties
The entire Shingle Springs Rancheria was surveyed by the
Archaeology Study Center, California State University at
Sacramento for the presence of historic as well as
prehistoric properties. According to the report generated
from that survey entitled The Archeological and Historical
Survey of the Shingle Springs Rancheria, J. Johnson, 1977,
there were no historic or prehistoric resources recorded.
Evidenceof past mining activities including dumps, tailings
and mine shafts were found in the subject property but
according to the report "Artifacts from the dumps are
contemporary while recorded mining enterprises are not unique
for the area and are common throughout the Mother Lode. The
development of the Shingle Springs Rancheria will, therefore,
not have an adverse impact on any cultural resources having
local, state or national significance."
III. Current Land Usage
1. Zoning
Until recently, the Tribe has not formally adopted a
land-use policy on the lands under Tribal control.
Therefore, there has been no formal policy on zoning.
2. Current and/or Historical Uses
Hazardous Waste Sites
Shingle Springs Rancheria lands do not contain any lands
which have been desginated or are under study for
designation as "Superfund" sites.
3. Prime or Unique Farmland
No lands under Shingle Springs Rancheria control have been
designated by the Soil Conservation Service as unique or
prime farmlands pursuant to Farmlands Protection Act (7 CFR
Part 658).
4. Sewage Collection and Treatment Facilities
Sewage disposal of Shingle Springs Rancheria single-dwelling
homes is provided by individual septic systems. Septic
design criteria for the Tribe falls within purview of the
Indian Health Service which utilizes the criteria set forth
by the California Regional Quality Control Board.
(a) Design Capacities and Current Loads
According to the Indian Health Service, current design
capacities for new construction must incorporate design
elements and safeguards indicated in the document
entitled Final Report, Assessment of Cumulative Impacts
of Individual Waste Treatment and Disposal Systems,
Ramblit Associates, Prepared for the North Coast
Regional Water Quality Control Board, 1982.
(b) Plans for Future System or Expansion
Currently, there are no future plans other than a
multi-purpose facility requiring sewage treatment and
possibly additional housing on the total parcels
available on the Rancheria.
(c) Non-Compliance Sewage Treatment Sites
According to the Indian Health Service, all individual
septic systems are in compliance with Indian Health
Service standards.
5. Water - Surface or Subsurface Sources
(a) Sole-source Aquifers
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, no
sole-source aquifers are located on Tribal Lands.
(b) System Capacities
Annexation to the El Dorado Irrigation District (EID)
was completed in 1991. All homes on the Rancheria are
metered individually by EID.
6. Solid Waste Disposal
Estimated Useful of Landfill Sites
The Tribe does not maintain or operate solid waste disposal
systems. Disposal of solid waste usually occurs by the El
Dorado Disposal Service. According to officials from El
Dorado County, disposal of solid waste at county landfills
is becoming a serious problem as the useful life of
landfills is rapidly approaching. Under recent California
law, waste reduction plans must be generated by county
governments and incorporated cities. The purpose of this
legislation is to extend the life of existing landfill
capacities. El Dorado County is currently preparing a waste
reduction plan to address this perplexing problem.
7. Transportation Infrastructure
The Shingle Springs Rancheria is served by Reservation Road,
a private road with public access. It is the only access
road to the Rancheria.
8. Sites Eligible for National Register Inclusion
Lands under Tribal control do not contain sites eligible for
inclusion in the National Register of Historic Properties.
The California State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO)
does want to be kept apprised of Shingle Springs Tribal
developments for comment and coordination of future
development activities.
9. Floodplain and/or Wetlands
(a) FEMA Floodplain Maps
According to FIRM and FEMA maps, no areas of the
Shingle Springs Rancheria appear to be susceptible to
massive flooding.
(b) USFWS Wetlands Inventory
According to the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service and the United States Army Corps of Engineers,
lands within control of the Tribe do not appear to
contain wetlands as defined in Executive Order 11990.
(c) Controlling Activities
El Dorado County maintains controlling activities in
respect to wetlands or floodplain in Shingle Springs
territory. El Dorado County requests coordination in
respect to the County Area Plan for welands.
Coordination activities include assessment and set-back
recommendations for wetlands.
10. Coastal Areas
All lands within Shingle Springs Tribal jurisdiction fall
outside of the coastal zone designated areas.
IV. Environmental Impacts and Mitigating Measures
The Environmental Impacts incurred by implementing the proposed
plan will occur primarily as a result of construction or
residential dwellings constructed within the plan area.
1. Soils and Geology
The main impact on soils in the plan area will occur as new
roadways and building sites are created within the plan area.
These sites, depending on the slope and soil type, may create
some erosion and siltation problems. These problems can be
mitigated by the following methods:
1. Large parcel sizes are proposed for shallow soil areas to
enable the feasible use of septic tanks for residential
use.
2. Areas of potential geologic hazards should be reserved
from development (i.e., unstable slopes or slide area).
3. Grading and construction of roadways and building pads
should occur during the dry season.
4. All areas where the soil cover has been disturbed should
be stabilized according to U.S. Soil Conservation Service
recommendations.
5. Limiting construction in areas of steep slopes and soils
of low stability, and require revegetation of exposed
surfaces.
2. Hydrology
Development has three major impacts on natural areas which
may be mitigated by proper hydrologic consideration in
Planning: Increased flooding, due to increased amount of
impervious surfaces; decreased groundwater supplies; and,
increased use of water and discharge of wastes. Impacts in
the Shingle Springs Rancheria can be mitigated by:
1. Locating impervious surfaces as far as possible from
stream channels, and utilize vegetation to decrease
runoff velocity and allow time for infiltration into the
soil.
2. Installation of sewer systems in areas where existing
residential use of septic systems has experienced a high
incidence of failures.
3. Determine areas where groundwater recharge occurs and
prohibit septic systems in these areas.
4. A setback for development should be 100 feet from
perennial streams, 50 feet from intermittent streams
(defined as a stream flowing six months per year or
less), 150 feet from lakes, and 100 feet from ponds. (A
lake is defined as having a surface area greater than one
acre at its high water line; a pond has less than one
acre.)
5. There should be no discharge of untreated effluent into
any of the streams, ponds or lakes in the plan area.
The Shingle Springs Land-use Plan, through its
comprehensive data base, reflects the consideration that
should be utilized to minimize environmental impacts.
3. Vegetation and Wildlife
The impacts that development has on vegetation will be caused
primarily by habitat modification. Since vegetation and
wildlife are the most transient of natural features, it is
reasonable to assume that development will have some
detrimental effects on localized areas.
The population in the plan area, if current trends continue,
will triple by the year 2000. Unless sufficient
consideration is given to preserving natural habitats, and
protective zoning is enforced, the wildlife resources may be
seriously damaged. The major problems which are expected to
accompany development are:
1. Water pollution from failing septic tanks, inadequately
treated sewage, residential runoff contaminated by
pesticides, fertilizers and petroleum products.
2. Watershed degradation.
3. Alteration of stream channels to make room for roads and
building sites.
4. Modification of wildlife habitats.
5. Wildlife displacement.
6. Eutrophication of lakes and streams from nutrient
enrichment.
7. Stream siltation and excessive turbidity in streams,
creeks and reservoirs from construction and road building.
8. Spring and stream flow depletion to satisfy residential
needs.
9. Loss of agricultural lands.
Proposed mitigation measures for these potential impacts
are assimilated in the Land-use Plan and developed into a
range of sensitivities. These sensitivities are graded
from severe limitations where areas are very intolerant
to development, to areas that are very tolerant, and
would accept limited development.
In general, the conversion of open land into residential
land uses often destroy the various plant communities and
wildlife habitats. Usually, the greater the residential
density, the greater the damage to plant and wildlife
habitats.
Mitigation measures which would minimize the potential
impacts on wildlife and vegetation:
1. Maintaining the riparian vegetative community
undisrupted so that a movement corridor for migratory
wildlife as available.
2. All commercial developement should be prohibited
within one-quarter of a mile of the natural creeks
occuring within the Plan area.
3. No development on slopes greater than 30 percent
4. Removal of healthy trees, particularly those native
to the area should be discouraged.
5. All road construction should be completed prior to
the rainy season, and all exposed cuts should be
stabilized to prevent erosion.
6. All wet meadows and riparian areas should be reserved
from development.
4. Air Quality
The projected densities incorporated into the Land-use
Plan will probably have a minimal impact, if any, upon
air quality. The air quality in the Basin is primarily
vulnerable to wind-born pollutants, mostly from local
dust, but occasionally on "Bad Days," smog from the
Sacramento Valley will reach the Shingle Springs
Rancheria in minor quantities.
The major influence upon air quality in the area is from
cars, with most of the car-generated pollutants occuring
from Highway 50 adjacent to the Shingle Springs
Rancheria. Residential generators also have a minor
influence, with most of the pollutants created by
fireplaces and residential burning. With the proper
atmospheric conditions and sufficient densities smoke may
be noticeable and even objectionable at certain times.
5. Water Quality
Since the majority of the Rancheria is underlain by
relatively massive rock, ground water occurs usually in
the small openings along fractures. The rock mass itself
is relatively impermeable, and even the highly weathered
material at the surface has a very low permeability.
Usually the major water bearing joints are nearly
vertical while other joints that break up the rock mass
occur in flat to moderately steep angles.
Surface water is not a significant source of ground water
in these rocks. It may seep down and influence or
pollute flows at shallow depths. Particularly, this
could occur in areas of extensive surface outcrops, open
joints conduct the water directly to the level of
saturation. Since most of the ground water in the area
probably originates from some subsurface source many
miles from the Rancheria, the origin and control of
pollutants is very difficult to ascertain.
Septic tanks are recognized to be the greatest potential
source of pollution within the Rancheria. To minimize
the possibility of contamination, it is required that
wells be located a minimum of 200 feet from the closest
point to the septic system to conform with EPA guidelines.
In areas where the soil characteristics have created a
history of septic failure, the installation of a sewer
system would mitigate the degradation of ground and
surface waters. However, sewers alone are not a
sufficient safeguard to insure protection of the existing
water quality. Potential water quality problems
associated with medium or high density residential
development include storm drainage, pesticides,
fertilizers, petroleum by-products, domestic animal
wastes, erosion and siltation during and after
construction, and mosquito abatement programs.
Mitigation measures to insure the protection of water
quality in these areas should include storm drainage
management plans, construction schedules, grading plans,
and revegetation plans. In addition, careful planning
and engineering of a community sewer system in existing
problem areas will mitigate a very definite health hazard.
If large animals are allowed, the location and
maintenance of the animal confinement and waste storage
areas must conform to the California State Water
Resources Control Board "Minimum Guidelines for
Protection of Water Quality from Animal Wastes."
In areas where septic tanks are utilized, parcel size and
conformance with State and local sewage disposal
regulations should mitigate any potential adverse
environmental impacts regarding water quality. As
mentioned previously, community sewers which promote
medium to high density residential development can
create "spin-off" problems which can be detrimental to
water quality. These problems include increased use of
pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals.
In order to protect the watershed in areas where sewers
are not available, large parcel sizes are recommended.
In these areas, large parcels are necessary to insure a
suitable sewage disposal site at sufficient distance from
the surface drainage ways.
Agricultural pursuits should also be monitored so as to
prevent runoff containing fertilizers, pesticides, animal
wastes, or other contaminants from degrading the streams
in the area.
6. Aesthetics
The Shingle Springs Rancheria consists primarily of low
rolling topography with scattered rural residential
homesites with the exception of the small community
center at the entrance of the Rancheria. All of the
individual houses on the Rancheria are built on large
acreage lots. This form of development tends to enhance
the natural aesthetic character of the area by
introducing a variety of elements to the landscape.
7. History
Many remnants of history remain in the Shingle Springs
Rancheria. The most significant of these, are the
Miwok/Maidu people of the Rancheria. The neighboring
town site of Shingle Springs also has rich historic
flavor. The overall effect of the historic character of
the area is an important consideration in the development
of the Rancheria. Thus, the Shingle Springs Rancheria
Land-use Plan calls for relatively large lot sizes, and
establishing a more rural, residential development. This
effort, combined with El Dorado County policies of
development of a historic district, will greatly improve
the chances of survival of the historic heritage of the
entire Shingle Springs area.
V. Alternatives to the Proposal
Various alternatives have been evaluated in conjunction with the
proposed Land-use Plan. These include:
1. No project. This alternative is not acceptable. The
development of a Land-use Plan will create a development
climate which is orderly and in attune with the environment.
Unregulated growth could cause adverse environmental impacts,
and overburden schools and public services.
2. Retention of Agricultural Lands. The alternative would
preserve the existing land base for agricultural uses. The
viability of agricultural production on the Shingle Springs
Rancheria is limited due to the small area of usable lands on
the Rancheria. Implementation of this alternative would
reduce holding capacity and limit development.
3. Maximum Residential Development. This alternative is not
acceptable. If this proposal were to be implemented,
significant environmental degradation would occur. Major
economic problems would also be incurred due to the reduction
of open space, and aesthetic values would be lost.
4. Optimum Balance of Open Space and Community Development. This
alternative would optimize the potential of the land, and
would recognize that the land has inherent qualities for
several types of residential use. By accommodating population
growth on flatter parcels and utilizing the steeper areas of
the Rancheria for open space the optimum balance is achieved.
Implementation of this alternative will tend to direct growth
into areas where the least environmental damage will occur and
lead to the maximum utilization of the 160 acre parcel.
VI. Purpose of a Land-use Plan
Uaually, a land-use plan includes adoption by ordinance of the
plan by the governing body empowered to promulgate jurisdictional
laws. The Shingle Springs Tribal Council is directly empowered
to adopt this land-use plan since it protects the general benefit
and welfare of its members.
The purpose of the land-use policy is to promote, protect and
preserve the public health, safety, peace, comfort, convenience,
prosperity and general welfare and to achieve the following
objectives:
(a) To promote the achievement of the policies and proposals of
the Shingle Springs Rancheria Development Plan.
(b) To protect the established character, enhance the social and
economic stability of the agricultural, residential,
commercial, open space and other areas within the Rancheria;
and, to assure the orderly and beneficial development
thereof as parts of a well coordinated community.
(c) To adhere to the principle of orderly residential
development with well integrated community facilities and
public utilities, and to provide a wide array of housing
types and living arrangements for the Shingle Springs
membership.
(d) To ensure the preservation of adequate space for commercial,
public facilities, and other activities necessary for a
healthy economy.
(e) To achieve excellence, originality and functionality of
design in future development and to preserve the natural
beauty of the Shingle Springs Rancheria.
(f) To protect and enhance the value of Tribal lands both
individualized individualized and those held in common by
the Tribe.
(g) To stabilize expectations regarding future development of
the Shingle Springs Rancheria, thereaby providing a basis
for wise decisions with respect to such development by
private, individual and governmental enterprises.
Several classes of land-use designation have been considered
by the Shingle Springs Rancheria as these land-use policies
were formalized:
Land-Use District Designation
Open Space Conservation OSC
Hillside Estates H-E
Rural Residential R-R
Public Facility P-F
The designation and location of the boundaries of the
aforesaid districts is delineated on the attached zoning map
(Figure 2).
