Document Description
The Department is issuing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement for the project proponent who proposes to dredge and divert the New River delta by replacing an old culvert with a 24" culvert and inlet control structure. Additionally, the project proposes to clean the river channel from the culvert to the water's edge of Salton Sea. Rip-rap will be applied to the inlet and outlet. Equipment used for these construction activities include a long-reach excavator, a front-end loader, and a pick-up truck. Approximately 50 feet of river channel bank will be temporarily disturbed during the placement of the inlet structure. The replacement of the culvert and inlet will be completed prior to the excavation of the active channel bank. The staging area will be remote to the construction site. Clean-up will be done during the low-flow period, as the New River will be setback from the river channel's edge.
