Document Description
The proposed project will result in permanent and temporary impacts to waterways that are within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jurisdiction. The scope of work proposed would permanently impact 976 square feet of unnamed perennial drainages associated with four of the culvert repairs/upgrades. In addition, 400 square feet of the perennial drainages will be temporarily impacted for the purpose of accessing the culverts. Caltrans will utilize Best Management Practices (BMPs) to provide erosion control. The proposed project will require the use of temporary clear water diversion as a BMP to reduce sediment and prevent surface waters from coming in contact with concrete. An additional BMP will be conducting the proposed work between June 1st and September 30th 2009, during the summer low flow periods. Caltrans proposes revegetation activities by planting a total of 5,572 square feet of willows and alders upstream and downstream of the culverts that require repairs. Tiparian areas along the perennial drainages that are affected by the construction activities will be replanted with native riparian vegetation.
