Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2015-0270-R1, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Mr. William Walter. The project has six encroachments. The encroachments include three PODs, restoration of a stream channel, restoration of a riparian area surrounding a stream channel, and restoration and stabilization of a gully degraded by a poorly installed culvert. Work for the three PODs will include maintenance and use of the diversion structures. Work on the stream channel restoration will include excavation of a new channel to reconnect the existing channels, installation of check dams to maintain grade and reduce energy, and installation of a rolling dip across an old skid trail to allow reconnection to the historic channel. Work for the riparian restoration will include excavation and re-contouring, placement of check dams in the stream, and erosion control. Work to mitigate erosion from a poorly installed culvert will include installation of a down spot, armoring, runoff realignment off the road, and erosion control by using jute netting, plunging, and covering bare soil with weed free hay.
