The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS- LAN-45612-R5, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LSCMTA).

A cofferdam will be used to divert the water in Verdugo Wash to create a dry work area.
