Document Description
The project is limited to seven encroachments
(Table 1). Two encroachments are for water diversion from Redwood Creek and an unnamed tributary. Water is
diverted for domestic use and irrigation of commercial cannabis. Work for the water diversion will include use
and maintenance of the water diversion infrastructure. Four proposed encroachments are to upgrade stream
crossings. Work for these encroachments will include excavation, removal of the failing crossings, replacement
with new properly sized crossings, backfilling and compaction of fill, and rock armoring as necessary to minimize
erosion. One encroachment is for stream restoration for an area impacted by commercial cannabis water
storage facilities, decommission a failed crossing and restore the stream channel. The Permittee shall submit a
Stream Restoration Plan for CDFW review and approval.
