Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number VEN_21437-R5, pursuant to section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project Applicant, Linda Purpus. A low-flow channel would be established by excavating sediments to shift the river’s thalweg to the southern bank of the SCR. The new low-flow channel would be approximately 40 feet wide, 725 feet long, and three feet deep. Excavated sediment would be dispersed immediately north of the low-flow channel and will be compacted to conditions consistent with the surrounding riverbed. Construction is anticipated to take
approximately 7 days. The estimated 1.1-acre total impacts include all areas within the river channel that will be potentially affected by Project activities, including equipment travel and site ingress/egress.
