Gomolicke Pond Outlets Maintenance Project (Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. 1600-2019- 0379-R1)

Gomolicke Pond Outlets Maintenance Project (Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. 1600-2019- 0379-R1)

This Agreement relies on the Notification materials and a CDFW site inspection by Environmental Scientist John Herrera on September 5, 2019. The project is limited to two encroachment(s) (Table 1). Both proposed encroachments are to upgrade failing and/or undersized culverted outlets on existing reservoirs that overflow into nearby streams when full. 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 Notification also discloses the use of a well located at Lat/Long 39.1904, -123.2217. This well is presented as the sole source of water for all needs on the property. CDFW did not evaluate hydraulic connection of the well to surface water, nor was a hydrogeologic evaluation prepared by a licensed geologist provided for CDFW review. No other projects that may be subject to FGC section 1602 were disclosed. This Agreement does not retroactively permit any constructed reservoirs (including “ponds”), stream crossings, water diversions, modifications to riparian buffers (as required by other entities), or other encroachments not described in Table 1.
