Turnout

Turnout

The California Department of Transportation is proposing to contruct a 280-foot turnout for eastbound traffic on State Route 36, in Tehama County. Signs will be placed to identify the area and the turnout will be striped per design standards. The project will also include locating a roadside drain that has been covered by past erosion and placing rock slope protection at the outlet to prevent future damage to the culvert. Access to the area will be from the State Route and equipment and materials can be staged on the existing turnout. No additional permanent right of way will be required. Approximately 200 sq. ft. (0.04 acre) of temporary right of way may be required to address treatments at the outlet of the exiting culvert. Construction will not be allowed between April 1 and June 30 to avoid potential impacts to nesting goshawks. Vegetation clearing will be kept to a minimum and no large trees (> 9" dbh) will be removed. Post construction erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented such as reseeding and temporary silt fence and straw bales, if necessary. It is determined that this project has no potential to affect historic properties or threatened and/or endangered species.
