Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2006-0258-R5 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project applicants. The Operators propose to alter the above-named streams to construct the project. As proposed, the project will be a multiple-use development involving various planned areas of development that collectively will meet a variety of needs of the City and the greater surrounding area. The project includes areas/districts zoned for residential development, within which will be commercial, industrial, and retail properties; construction and expansion of California's university campus system; improvement to the existing El Toro Golf Course; and the construction of a second golf course. Associated with these areas of designated development types will be all necessary infrastructure including paved circulation and access roads, utilities, flood control facilities, water quality facilities, storm water collection and treatment systems. The Operators shall not impact more than 24.89 acres of unvegetated stream channel and associated disturbed riparian habitat consisting of willows and mulefat, of which 12.54 acres are permanent impacts (2.76 acres within the unvegetated channel of Bee Canyon Wash, 1.84 acres within a portion of Borrego Canyon Wash consisting of unvegetated channel and disturbed willow and mulefat, and 7.94 acres within numerous man-made drainages with disturbed mulefat), and 12.35 acres are temporary impacts (4.84 acres in Agua Chinon Wash, consisting of mostly unvegetated channel, and 7.51 acres in Serrano Creek consisting of vegetated riparian habitat). The Operators shall mitigate both temporary and permanent impacts on the 24.89 acres at a compensation to impact ratio of 1:1, for a total mitigation obligation of 24.89 acres. The mitigation shall consist of onsite creation/restoration of riparian habitat along Agua Chinon Wash and Serrano Creek.
