Document Description
San Luis Obispo Creek is a deeply incised perennial stream originating near the Cuesta Grade and flowing through the City of San Luis Obispo before tributarying to the Pacific Ocean near Avila Beach in San Luis Obispo County, California. The project site is dominated by Vinca, German ivy, poison hemlock, and other non-native and invasive vegetation. The proposed project would remove these exotic plants and dead and downed woody material from the stream banks. Some willows may be cut on a selective basis. A canopy would be retained over the creek to shade the creek. All vegetation would be trimmed using hand tools, then loaded into a rubber-tired loader and removed from the site. The project is necessary to reduce the likelihood of debris dams forming and causing or contributing to localized flooding, and to maintain a riparian buffer strip consisting of native vegetation. Issuance of a Streambed Alteration Agreement Number 1600-2003-5367-3 pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 1602.
