SELLERS INFORMATION

The Seller discloses the following information with the knowledge that even though this is not a warranty, prospective Buyers may rely on this information in deciding whether and on what terms to purchase the subject property. Seller hereby authorizes any agent(s) representing any principal(s) in this transaction to provide a copy of this statement to any person or entity in connection with any actual or anticipated sale of the property.

THE FOLLOWING ARE REPRESENTATIONS MADE BY THE SELLER(S) AS REQUIRED BY THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, AND ARE NOT THE REPRESENTATIONS OF THE AGENT(S), IF ANY. THIS INFORMATION IS A DISCLOSURE AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE PART OF ANY CONTRACT BETWEEN THE BUYER AND SELLER.

The County of Contra Costa permits and supports operation of properly-conducted agricultural operations and agricultural processing operations, as defined in the County's Right To Farm Ordinance (Division 820 of the County Ordinance Code), within the unincorporated area of the county. If the property you are purchasing is located in the unincorporated area of the county, near agricultural lands or operations, or included within an area zoned or designated by the County General Plan for agricultural purposes, including such operations located on publicly-owned land designated for park, recreation, open space, watershed, or other public purposes, you may be subject to inconveniences or discomfort arising from such operations. Such discomfort or inconveniences may include, but are not limited to, noise, odors, fumes, dust, smoke, insects, operation of machinery (including aircraft) during any 24-hour period, storage and disposal of manure, and the application by spraying or otherwise of chemical fertilizers, solid amendments, seed, herbicides and pesticides. One or more of the inconveniences described may occur as a result of any agricultural operation or agricultural processing operation that is in conformance with existing laws and regulations and with proper and accepted customs and standards. Contra Costa County has determined that the use of real property for agricultural operations and agricultural processing operations is a high priority and favored use, and will not consider to be a nuisance those inconveniences or discomforts arising from such operations, provided such operations are established as set forth in the Right To Farm Ordinance and consistent with proper and accepted customs and standards.

If you live near an agricultural area, you should be prepared to accept such inconveniences or discomfort as a normal and necessary aspect of living in a county with a strong rural character and an active agricultural sector. Contra Costa County has established a grievance procedure to help resolve any disputes which might arise between agricultural operators and their neighbors. This is only a summary of the Right To Farm Ordinance. If you wish further information about the meaning or effect of the ordinance or the grievance procedure set forth in it, please contact the Contra Costa County Community Development Department, at 651 Pine Street, 4th Floor, North Wing, Martinez, California, 94553.

Seller certifies that the information herein is true and correct to the best of the Seller's knowledge as of the date signed by the Seller.
