Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMSMEN-47127-R1C, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Victor Hollister, representing North Fork Lumber Company. The project is limited to one encroachment for a temporary summer season culvert crossing and the reestablishment of the stream prior to the onset of the wet-weather season. Work for the encroachment will include placing a minimum 24-inch diameter by 40-foot long culvert, backfilling and compaction of fill, excavation, removal of the seasonal culvert crossing, re-establishing the streambed, pulling back the banks to a 2 to 1 horizontal to vertical ratio, and stabilizing the banks, and rock armoring as necessary to minimize erosion. The initial removal of the seasonal culvert shall also include removing the existing 12-inch diameter damaged corrugated metal pipe and re-establishing the stream’s natural channel alignment.
