Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS- TRI-33477-R1I pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Trinity County Department of Transportation, represented by Justyna Marszalek.
The project is limited to culvert replacement at Mile Marker 0.04 along Red Hill Road that was damaged during the Monument Fire in 2021. The existing 36-inch HDPE corrugated plastic culvert sustained burning at the inlet and outlet. This resulted in the rocked headwall collapsing into the stream channel and the pipe itself melting. The entire 60-foot long culvert will be replaced with a 36-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP). Water will be required to be diverted around the worksite, so a temporary dam utilizing plastic sheeting and sandbags will be constructed 20 feet above the culvert inlet.
