CDFG is intending to execute a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code (SAA# 1600-2009-0335-R5) to the project applicant, Fallbrook Elementary School District. The applicant will be conducting the Project in response to a notification from the County of San Diego, Department of Public Works.
