- Document Description
- CDFW has executed Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. 1600-2016-0480-R1, pursuant to section 1602 of the fish and game code to Mr. Stuart Otte. The project includes 16 enroachments to remediate violations of FGC 1602. Two clusters of water diversion infrastructure were located during the site inspection that included buckets set below depth and diverted all the available water within two class II streams. Ten separate unpermitted encroachments within the two clusters were used to diver from unnamed tributaries to Sharber Creek. Water was diverted for irrigation use. This project will permit the removal of all diversion infrastructures associated with these clusters, and no additional water diversion will be permitted as part of this agreement. The property owner will rely solely on a groundwater well drilled in 2016 as the source of water on the property. Six other encroachments will remediate road/stream crossings utilized to access the place of use. Work for these encroachments will include excavation, placement of rock armoring, replacement of a new properly sized culvert at one location, removal of an undersized culvert and placement of a bridge at one location, backfilling and compaction of fill as necessary to minimize erosion.
