Document Description
The proposed activities include removal of the mostly nonnative invasive vine and shrub understory on the sandbar immediately upstream of the Bargetto Bridge on Soquel Creek, Santa Cruz County. Activities also include removal of a portion of the shrubs from the bench and bank on the east side of the channel. Vegetation at the toe of the bank and at the water's edge of the low flow channel will be preserved. Downed dead trees are also proposed to be removed. Existing single trunk trees will be preserved. Young trees larger than three inches diameter will be thinned to maintain a spacing of 20 to 50 feet. Large single trunk tree, three inches diameter or larger, will be topped or removed is they are growing close enough to hit the bridge if they fall. Vegetation will be removed by hand with hand equipment and herbicides . Mitigation for tree removal will be planting of five gallon native trees at a ratio of 3:1 on areas upstream of the project site. The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, Number 1600-2010-0274-R3, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project Applicant, Public Works Department of Santa Cruz County.
