Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number EPIMS-SDO-26442-R5, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the City of Poway. Project activities include annual inspection and maintenance of concrete-lined channels, such as removal of trash, debris, vegetation, and sediment, and repair of broken concrete lining. Containment Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be placed downstream of each section being cleaned, and include straw waddles for silt and debris retention, oil-only absorbent booms, and use of a vacuum truck for cleanup and post-activity BMP removal. Material will be delivered by a skid steer and/or small tractor located within the channel to the bucket of an excavator located outside the channel, and then to a dump truck, also outside the channel, for disposal. This Agreement does not authorize installation of new concrete lining or expansion of the footprint of existing concrete lining. This Agreement authorizes removal of newly-established vegetation only. That is, vegetation removal in channels left unmaintained for longer than 3 years is not authorized by this Agreement.
