Document Description
The Operator proposes to rehabilitate SR 33 from the Santa Barbara County line, north into San Luis Obispo County and east to the Kern County line, for a total of 13.3 miles. Work will consist of widening te roadway to standard widths, adding asphalt shoulders, extending 12 culverts on both sides of the road (non-juristictional), and installing 3 new pipe culverts (non-jurisdictional). The work will require impacts to the jurisdictional streams by widening two bridge decks at Quatal Canyon (PM 1.85) and Ballinger Canyon (PM 7.05), and extending a concrete box culvert at an unnamed drainage (PM 5.35). False work will be temporarily placed in both streambeds for the bridge widenings and heavy equipment will be used within all three jurisdictional streambeds. No permanent impacts willl result from the bridge widenings; 0.44 acre will be temporarily impacted. The box culvert will result in 0.08 acre of temporary impacts and 27.7 square meters of permanent impacts. A small amount of native vegetation, primarily shrubs, will be removed from the stream banks. Areas of temporary disturbance will be treated with a hydroseed mix of native species following construction. Avoidance measures for San Joaquin kit fox, blunt-nosed leopard lizard, and California jewelflower, species that may occur in the project footprint, will be implemented.
