Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2016-0542-R1, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Mr. John Shepp.
The project is limited to four encroachments. Two encroachments are for water diversion from unnamed tributaries to Sholes Creek. Water is diverted for domestic use and irrigation. Work for the water diversion will include modification, use, and maintenance of the water diversion infrastructure. The two other proposed encroachments will upgrade failing and undersized culverts. Work for these encroachments will include excavation, removal of the failing culverts, replacement with a new properly sized culvert, backfilling and compaction of fill, and rock armoring as necessary to minimize erosion.
