Document Description: CDFW has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement No. 1600-2016-0165-R2, pursuant to section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project Applicant, Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency. The project is limited to the installation of seepage remediation features to meet embankment and foundation stability requirements; and the removal of high hazard encroachments and vegetation along the Natomas East Main Drainage Canal (NEMDC)/Steelhead Creek and Arcade Creek. Approx. 0.5 acres of waterside riparian tree canopy will be permanently impacted. Six temporary bridges required to be installed to facilitate haul route access. All of the bridges would be temporary clear span bridges across NEMDC/Steelhead Creek and Arcade Creek with the abutments for the temporary bridges placed outside of the creek channel. Temporary ramps on the waterside levee slopes and temporary clear-span bridges would be removed prior to Nov. 1 Gravel on levee crowns along haul routes would be maintained as needed during periods of hauling, including watering for dust control and period grading to control rutting. Borrow material would be obtained from a borrow site located south of Elkhorn Blvd. at Sorrento Road. The borrow site would be restored and enhanced once borrow materials are excavated. Four potential staging areas have been identified for the proposed project.
