Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2019-0741-R1, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Mr. Peter G. Hanelt. The project is limited to thirty-nine (39) encroachments (Table 1). Two (2) encroachments are for water diversion from springs, unnamed tributaries to Rancheria Creek. Water is diverted by gravity for domestic use and fire protection. Work for the water diversions will include use and maintenance of the water diversion infrastructure. One (1) encroachment is for maintenance of an existing on-stream pond. The pond is used for aesthetic purposes and wildlife habitat. Water is not diverted from the pond for consumptive use. One (1) encroachment is for removal of existing culverts, re-establishing the channel at this location, and seasonal installation of a bridge. The temporary bridge shall be removed prior to the end of each seasonal work period. The thirty-five (35) other proposed encroachments are to upgrade, maintain, or decommission existing stream crossings (including replacing undersized culverts and installing rocked fords). As appropriate, work for these encroachments will include excavation, removal, installation and/or construction of stream crossings, backfilling and compaction of fill, and rock armoring as necessary to minimize erosion. This Agreement does not authorize driving through streams (e.g. rocked fords) when water is present.
