Modification Request - Plan of Operation for a 3-day Camping th_oth, 2015 lusic Event on Cook's Valley Campground July

ing is a plan of operations proposed by Northern Nights Music Group for the 141211.ylan of Operation_20.15_v4.pdtlse of Cook's Valley Campground for a three-day music & art event called

"Northern Nights Music Festival." The event is proposed to take place the third weekend of July each year, falling on the Friday the 17th tluough Sunday the 19111 in 2015. The event will include camping, local & international entertainment, provisions for the on-site consumption of food and alcohol, as well as a temporary on-site general store. We are requesting a modification to our multi-year permit to increase capacity to 4,000 attendees and 1,000 staff in 2015 and 5,000 attendees and 1,000 staff in 2016 and 2()17. We are also requesting that hours of amplified music be extended to 2 AM on the mainstage and 8 PM on the auxilary stage on Friday and Saturday of the festival, while maintaining a 12 AM curfew on Sunday.

This request is for a temporary event totaling 3 days, which is consistent with the zoning restriction for the property, which allows for land use for a temporary event for 5 clays in any 6 month period. We are cormnitted to ensuring that the site will be returned to its natural, or pre-event, state within 14 days following the event, including removal of all litter, lighting, sanitation facilities, or other amenities. No permanent signage or structures shall be created for the event and no camping will be allowed east of the South Fork Eel River.

Northern Nights Mission Statement

Northern Nights Music Festival event is being produced by an experienced, professional production company, whose mission is to ensure a high quality event that will educate a new audience about the region, present a positive and enlightening experience that highlights the unique offerings of the location, and will demonstrate the need to experience it responsibly.

Commitment to Local Schools, Non-Profits Organizations and Economic Boost

Non-profits including the Piercy Volunteer Fire Departments, Southern Humboldt School districts, The Eel River Recover Project, KMUD Radio, Southern Humboldt Conununity Park and more, are benficiaires of the event.

capabilities, communications central, security, tratTic, parking and camping crew personnel to communicate and direct the public.

In any emergency, Festival Directors will communicate with patrons from main stage amplification to stay calm and ensure emergency service 'providers can access necessary locations. Our CIT leader will be in radio contact with Mendocino CDF emergency and CalFire dispatch frequencies. Fire, Medical and. Security personnel also have CDF dispatch radios. All of the various crews will coordinate their efforts tlrough handhekl radios and cell phones.

(..)ur emergency response plan will be reviewed by Garberville CHP, Mendocino Sheriff's Office, Piercy Volunteer Fire Department & Mendocino EMS Coordinators and written correspondence with these agencies will be submitted to the Planning Commission at least a month betbre the event.

Security

Professional on-site security services shall be secured fix- the event and will consume the largest percentage of our on-site staff budget. We will use an experienced security service provider as our lead supervising company to organize and lay out the complete final plan, which will emphasize strictly enforcing responsibility to the property and policing attendee activity, with particular emphasis on the control of alcohol and prevention of dmg consumption, as well as the noise curfew enforcement. The contracted. team Will be given distinctive colored clothing as approved by the SheritT's Office.

Temporary fencing around the perimeter of the site will be installed to mitigate trespassing onto adjacent properties. Twenty-tbur hour per day security will be provided on-site for the protection and service to attendees and neighboring property owners. Every attempt will be made to limit encroachment/trespassing onto neighboring properties. The perimeter of the . site shall be clearly identified and fenced, and shall be posted to limit access beyond the approved event, camping, and parking area sites.

Northern Nights Music Group will remain in consistent contact with the Sheriff's Office, CHP, and contracted security as the event approaches and we are committed to maintaining these relationships through responsible management practices and an open communication with all local law enforcement. A post-event meeting to address public safety concerns will be held following the event, to improve the event each year.

141211_11mi of Opemtion_2015.y4.0iid Hours of Noise

Another top priority will be given for the strict adherence to county regulations and reconunendations regarding hours of operation for live music during the event. In both the 2013 & 2014 events, our staff demonstrated that we were able to responsibly abide by the permit conditions and cut off music strictly at the curfew set by the Flaming, Commission. Each night, a special NCU (Noise Control Unit), will be utilized for noise curfew enforcement. The NCU will be composed of the event's on-site contracted security, the NNMG event production staff, Cook's Valley Staff, and volunteers, who will patrol and monitor all campgrounds to ensure curfew regulations are not breached. The NCU will make daily and nightly walk-throughs of the campground, taking notes at locations of any large amplified speakers and personal subwoofers brought by attendees. Owners of the large amplified speakers and subwoofers will be confronted to ensure curfew regulations are understood and regulations followed and in many cases confiscated until the end of the weekend.

We are requesting live music to be permitted. between the hours of 10:00 AM with a termination of 2:00 AM. The extended curfew request assists in tiring the crowd during the event and assists our security team in keeping renegade soundsystems off during peak hours.

One of the key mitigation techniques that worked extremely well in our inaugural year was the implementation of a Silent Disco. Attendees that which to continue to participate in music-related activities after the noise curfew are given a set of wireless headphones, mitigating both noise from amplified speakers as well as renegade soundsystems.

Any stage installed for the event will not be permanent and removed at event conclusion. We propose two stages (see attached site map), a main stage and an auxilary stage. The proposed mainstage hours are from 12:00 PM to 2:00 AM and the second stage would operate between the hours of 10:00 AM and. 8:00 PM on Friday .Tuly 18th and Saturday July 19th. The main stage hours on Sunday July 20th are proposed from 12:00 PM to 12:00 AM and on the second stage from 10 AM and 8:00 PM. No amplified music or speakers Will be allowed between the hours of 2:00 AM and 10:00 AM at any stage in order to minimize noise impacts on the surrotmding community. Recognizing that some attendees may retire to the campground before 2:00 AM, multiple temporary signs will be posted on the campground. with text indicating "Quiet Time" between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. Security will monitor the property at all times to enforce the music and campground noise curfew. The stages will be positioned in such a manner to minimize noise in the directions of Hwy 101 and all neighbors.

Traffic Flow and Parking

The 2014 tratTic & parking plan and encroadmient permit application was designed and reviewed by Stop N Go Traffic, Caltrans, and the Garberville CHP and was stamped by a

e and Recycling

site will be cleansed of all litter within two weeks following the event and will 141211_Plan of Opemtion_2015_,.4.pdf to pre-event conditions. A recycle team will be coordinated to recycle all the

glass and metal. Throughout the entire property, we will provide banks of barrels for collection of d.ifferent wastes. We will have a team that will take the materials to our recycle area and a different team to sort all the materials and store them for disposal. We will use forty yard dumpsters for trash and large totes for glass and metal. We will provide 1 (one) 32-gallon trash can tbr every 50 people. All garbage will be removed from the cainpground daily (e.g., all trash cans will be emptied into dumpsters).

Water Supply and Distributions

The water supply will be sourced from an on-site well. Typical property owner water use will be reduced tbr four weeks following the event to offset increased water use during the weekend of the event. Results of our 2014 water management techniques can be tbund the 2014 Post Event Report. We project estimated water use of close to 80,000 gallons tlu-oughout the duration of the festival including showers, drinking water, and vendor water use. It is estimated that minimizing typical property water use for irrigation for weeks following the event will result in a savings of over 100,000 gallons of water. Additional water storage techniques are being researched for the 2015 event and beyond.

The on-site water system will be tested before and after the event and the water sample result will be included with the Conununity Event Permit Application. Water quality sampling and testing (bacteriological tests) will continue to be conducted by the event coordinators. Results from water quality testing before, during and after the 2014 event can be found in 2014 Post Event Report. The large water on-site distribution system tuns throughout the site. There is a 3 inch line for irrigation and tire suppression, and a 2 inch line for drinking, showers, and for vendor use. Fire hydrants are available for quick use. For extreme use, there is ready access to a fill up spot at the river or in a 1,000,000 :gallon pond.

Sanitary Facilities

We have demonstrated to the Division of Environmental Health that adequate water, sanitation, and solid waste facilities will be provided to the Division's satisfaction. We will be providing one (1) portable toilet for every 100 patrons. Portable toilets will be placed in locations throughout the event site and campground that are convenient to guests, thereby reducing the potential for guests to use the river as a human waste receptacle. Signs will be posted to discourage this as well. Hand wash stations are provided wherever toilets are located with a minimum of I wash station for every 10 toilets. Trash cans will similarly be located to discourage littering. Liquid waste will be self-contained until able to be hauled off to an approved location. All portable toilets, hand wash pedestals, and trash containers shall be serviced and/or collected frequently so as not to create a health hazard as well as grey water from vendor booths.

# COMMENTS

The Eel Riwr Recovery Project (ERRP) Nvould like to thank the Northern Nights Festival for allowing us to operate a concession stand at this year's liwly event. Generous donations of oysters from Coast Seafood, snapper filets from Pacific Choice Seafood, and bagels from Los Bagels allowed us to serve fine, local products and to have. a successful fundraiser that supports our imixirtant monitoring and education efforts.

Northern Nights Music Festival demonstrated that a three day event can be ok's Valley Campground safely, responsibly 8e successfully at the attendee

14121.1_Plan of Operation 2015 v.4.pdf d by this CUP. Permit conditions were strictly adhered to and possible impacts on the local community and environment were mitigated through best management practices and thorough preparation.

Non-profits including the Piercy Volunteer Fire Departments, Southern Humboldt School districts, The Eel River Recover Project, KMUD Radio, Southern Humboldt Community Park and more, were benficiaires of the event. Various local & "on-the-way" service providers all saw increases in business & exposure, and attendance population demonstrated that over 70% of patrons brought tourism capital from outside the region.

The festival grounds were taken care of extremely well and we received numerous compliments on how clean the venue was kept throughout and after the festival. Parking, traffic & security teams worked extremely diligently to ensure smooth entrance and exit to the event as well as roaming the Eel River to mitigate impacts from illegal camping before, during or after the event.

Overall we are very pleased with the outcome of the event, thankful to Mendocino & Humboldt Counties for the opportunity to showcase the arts in such a beautiful area and look forward to producing Northern Nights Music Festival for years to come.

The following is in reference to specific CUP UM 5-2013/13 individual permit conditions that were required to be included in this post event report.

Condition 4: The final attendance count of attendees/campers for the 2014 Northern Nights Music Festival was 3,872 total.

Condition 8: The project site was cleaned of all litter within two weeks following each event and site shall be returned to pre-event. See post event photos below taken on July 30th, 2014.

Condition 12: Results from the water quality testing can be found in Appendix B.

Condition 19: Water usage was measured for the month prior, weekend during and month following the event. Total water use from Thursday July 17th to Monday July 21st was approximately 55,000 gallons. Water use for the month following the event was decreased from that of typical use and resulted in water savings of over 100,000 gallons.

Condition 26: The Dowd Residence is located approximately 1,200 feet south of the main-stage, the source of the exterior noise. The residence & festival venue is adjacent to Highway 101 & the Mercer Fraser gravel extraction plant Due to traffic flow on Highway 101, ambient levels in the range of 65 - 75 dB were measured prior to the commencment of the festival. Appendix C of the Inland Zoning Code, Interpretive Footnote 1, states "When an acoustical study demonstrates that ambient levels exceed the noise standard, then the ambient levels become the standard." The average ambient

Per the "Adjustments to Noise Level Standard" section under "Character", the f 5 dB is applied for music, resulting in an overall 75 dB limit at the location of lent for Northern Nights Music Festival.

141211_Plan of Operation_2015_v4.pclf

Sound levels were recorded using a analog sound pressure level (SPL) meter and taken every two hours throughout the festival operating hours from the Dowd Residence, shown in the below figure, Measurements were taken every hour during mainstage operating hours of 6 pm and 12 am. Both high and low levels were recorded, always using the "A" weighting as these are used for environmental noise standards in the Mendocino County Inland Zoning Code requirements.

The readings on the SPL meter were often affected by wind noise, Even a slight wind would boost the reading anywhere from 5-15 dB. Some readings taken during a constant breeze reflect this increase. Similar boosts were recorded while trucks, motorcycles, and other loud vehicles travelled on the highway, Stage volume was rarely heard over the sound of passing traffic.

A plot of time vs. sound levels (dB) is shown below for all three days of the festival. Noise level exceeded the 75 dB standard for less than 30 minutes on Saturday 7/19, but remained below the standard throughout the remainder of the duration of festival. Peaks were sometimes caused by wind and traffic, in addition to the Festival Program, The SPL levels were rarely above the ambient sound limit for the site.

oncerns about impacts to water quality on the South Fork Eel River during Northern Nights 'al; water quality sampling was conducted by a qualified representative, Oliver Kanner

all ecologist working as a volunteer for the event. 1.11211_Plan of Operation_2015.y4.pclt

The objective of the water quality testing was to determine if there were any significant levels of contaminants in the form of total conforms, fecal coliforms and enterococci; present during the three clay music festival. Furthermore, this report was conducted to fulfill permit condition #1.I 5-2013, condition 12, stated below.

Condition (AI 5-2013), Condition 12:

"12. Daily water samples should be collected during the event by a qualified independent entity to assess (panty impacts from the event. Samples shall be collected both upstream and downstream from the event and shall be tested for total conforms fecal conforms, enterococci. All monitoring data shall be provided to .the County Division of Environmental Health (DEH) after the event. This condition Mal' be deleted in the future depending on the results of water results."

Conform bacteria are commonly found in soils. aquatic environments and on vegetation. Conform bacteria generally do not pose a risk to humans, but may indicate the sanitaiy qualities of food and water. More specifically, fecal coliform are found in human and animal excrement and may contain bacteria that can pose a significant risk to humans. Enteroeicci is one such bacterium that is part of the fecal conform group. As a result testing for the presence of conforms in recreational and drinking water can act as an indicator for potentially harmful bacteria that may be found in this category.

Sample Methods and Materials:

Daily water quality samples were taken on the South Fork Eel River, upstream and down stream of Northern Nights Music Festival, during all three days („Tuly 18'1', & ,„ ) me event. The upstream and downstream locations for sampling were determined by their distance from the primary swimming hole on Cook's Valley. The location where the measurements were taken can be seen in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1. Location of Water Samples.

Sampling was conducted in accordance with North Coast Laboratories LTD. sampling instructions for coliform bacteria in source water. All water sampling containers were filled to the 100ml mark and were kept on ice during transportation to North Coast Laboratories LTD.
