Document Description
The Project would upgrade access roads damaged in the 2017 Tubbs Fire, improve improperly designed stream crossings, reduce erosion and sediment delivery into Mark West Springs Creek, and address concentrated hydrologically connected road runoff by improving road shaping and/or installing additional road drainage structures. Overall, 27 road-related sediment source sites composed of 16 stream crossings, nine ditch relief culverts, one road surface discharge point, and one instream head cut would be treated. However, a permit from the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board is only required to treat 16 stream crossings and the lone head cut.
