Document Description: The project is limited to five encroachments. One encroachment is for water diversion from unnamed tributaries to Dairy Creek. Water is diverted for domestic use and irrigation. Work for the water diversion will include use and maintenance of the water diversion infrastructure. The three other proposed encroachments are to upgrade failing and undersized stream crossings. Work for these encroachments will include excavation, removal of the failing culverts, replacement with new properly sized culverts, backfilling and compaction of fill, and rock armoring as necessary to minimize erosion. The fifth proposed encroachment is to decommission a small on-stream pond and restore the stream channel.
