Document Description
The proposed project will add an HOV lane to State Route 87 and will necessitate the widening of the bridge over the Guadelupe River. This agreement covers only those portions of the project that impact the Guadelupe River. Bridge abutment expansion, storm drain relocation, and bank stabilization will require the removal of some riparian vegetation and dewatering the work area. A coffer dam will be installed at the upstream end to the work area and flows of the Guadelupe River diverted into a pipe around the work area and discharged back into the river outside of the construction area. The diversion structure has been designed in consultation with NOAA Fisheries and includes openings in the top of the culvert to allow light in as well as rest areas to further minimize fish passage impacts. The presence of fish in the work area is not anticipated during the June 1 to October 15 work window period due to high water temperatures which are detrimental to salmonids. The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement Number 1600-2004-0039-3 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project operator, Mr. Nick Saleh representing Caltrans.
