Document Title: Bilandzija Water Diversion and Stream Crossings Project (Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. 1600-2015-0031-R1)
Document Type: NOD - Notice of Determination
Received: 3/11/2019

Document Description: The project is limited to three encroachments. One encroachment is for water diversion from Powers Creek. Water may be diverted for domestic use and irrigation. The surface water POD will be permitted through this agreement but is not currently in place. A groundwater well currently serves as the main water source for both domestic and irrigation use. Work for the water diversion will include installation, use, and maintenance of the water diversion infrastructure. The two other proposed encroachments are to upgrade and undersized culvert, and to install a new culvert at a road stream crossing where no infrastructure exists. Work for these encroachments will include excavation, removal of a culvert, replacement with new culvert, installation of a new culvert, backfilling and compaction of fill, and rock armoring as necessary to minimize erosion.
