Document Description
The Project will repair, replace, or clean 82 culverts at various locations along State Route 198 in Fresno County to maintain proper drainage, prevent flooding, and prevent further pavement deterioration in those areas. Work will include relining and replacing culverts, installing or repairing headwalls, installing flared end sections, placing rock slope protection, and restoring temporarily disturbed areas with seeding and plantings. Up to 200 days of night work is anticipated. 61 of the Project culverts are within range of California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense), located
between post miles 1.97 and 16.56. The Project will result in impacts to 11.75 acres of California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) habitat including temporary impacts to 11.61 acres; the Project will permanently remove 0.14 acres of California tiger salamander habitat. The project is expected to result in incidental take of California tiger salamander, which is designated as a threatened species under the California Endangered Species Act. The ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation.
