Document Description
The project is limited to one encroachment for aggregate extraction from the channel
of the Eel River for commercial purposes. The Permittee proposes annual extraction not to exceed 25,000 cubic yards. Over the last five years (2019 through 2023), Humboldt County Public Works performed only a single annual extraction in 2020, for a total volume of 17,268 cubic yards. Aggregate extraction consists of removal of flood-washed alluvial material using heavy equipment (e.g., front-end loaders, excavators, bulldozers, and dump trucks) from the channel of the Eel River. Aggregate extraction methods and volumes shall be consistent with approved annual extraction work plans. Extraction occurs during the summer low-flow period when alluvial deposits are exposed. Fisheries- and riparian-enhancement or off-channel extractions may be included annually and involve connection of extraction areas to the wetted channel. Temporary crossings of the wetted channel may be needed to access gravel deposits. Timing of the installation and removal of these crossings is conducted to avoid periods of peak flows, salmonid migration and spawning, other aquatic organisms, and requires coordination with CDFW scientific staff. Crossings are also designed to minimize the extent of channel disturbance and avoid sensitive aquatic habitat.
