Document Description: The construction of the new alignment for Old Ward's Ferry Road across an unnamed tributary to Sullivan Creek. A 135 ft long, 48 inch diameter pipe will be installed underneath the new road alignment to convey water. At the inlet, a new concrete headwall will be constructed. At the outlet a concrete headwall and rip-rap apron will be constructed. Clena fill dirt will be used to fill the channel above the pipe. The new road alignment will cross over the fill. Fill dirt will be placed in the channel just downstream of the culverts under Sanguinetti Road to stabilize the road edge. Riparian vegetation and tree removal is proposed. The Project area consists of the area within or adjacent to an unnamed tributary to Sullivan Creek, with associated foothill pine and blue-oak woodland, and riparian habitat.
