Document Description
The site is located within the Bear Creek watershed approximately three miles off Bear Creek Road on Deer Creek. The existing crossing, consisting of two partially collapsed and decaying corrugated metal culverts surrounded by concrete, impedes fish passage upstream and the passage of woody debris downstream. Over two miles of high-quality salmonid breeding habitat is available upstream of the crossing. The project will replace the existing culvert structure with a 55-foot long, 16-foot wide steel free-span bridge elevated above the channel bed and banks. The new bridge will be elevated above Deer Creek's 100-year flood level to allow for downstream passage woody debris. Footings for the new bridge will be shallow, poured concrete abutments instead of drilled piers to reduce disturbance. The new bridge will primarily occupy the same space currently occupied by the existing concrete crossing. A 4-foot high retaining wall on the southern edge of the road at the bridge's eastern end will allow for a gradual slope from the existing road bed up to the bridge decking. The banks along the bridge's shallow footings will be armored with rock riprap and planted with willow stakes and a variety of herbaceous riparian species.
The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement Number 1600-2007-0240-3 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project applicant, Karen Christensen / Santa Cruz County Resource Conservation District.
