Gaviota Project

SCH Number: 2018071001
Lead Agency: Caltrans 5 (San Luis Obispo) (California Department of Transportation, District 5)
Document Title: Gaviota Project
Document Type: MND - Mitigated Negative Declaration
Received: 7/2/2018

Document Description: Caltrans proposes to replace an existing 6'x6' reinforced concrete box/6' reinforced concrete pipe culvert on US 101 in Santa Barbara County at PM 45.5 near Gaviota State Park. It would include Rock Slope Protection, an end wall and wing walls at the outlet, and a headwall at the inlet. This alternative includes using a jack and bore construction method to replace the existing culvert with a reinforced concrete pipe on a slightly new alignment. In order to construct the project, access roads to both the inlet and outlet would be necessary. Upon completion of the new culvert, inlet and outlet head walls and wing walls would be constructed, rock slope protection would be replaced at the culvert outlet, and the existing RCB/RCP culvert would be abandoned in place.
