Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-SBA-49401-R5, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Max DeVroome.
The Project is limited to remedial actions to resolve Notices of Violation issued by the County of Santa Barbara Planning and Development Department and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for the unpermitted installation of a 100-foot long, 24-inch diameter, HDPE (high-density polyethylene) culvert in an unnamed tributary of Mission Creek. The remedial actions include: removal of a 60-foot long section of the unpermitted culvert and removal of the fill placed on the sides and top of the culvert. New headwalls will be constructed and the inlet and outlet of the remaining 40-foot long culvert. These headwalls will be constructed out of sandstone rock and placed in mortar. Additionally, ungrouted sandstone boulders will be used as riprap at the culvert outlet to dissipate storm water energy. In order to restore vegetation, 0.21 acres will be revegetated with a native seed pallet including 12 coast live oak trees.
