Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS-MEN-39254-R1C, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to James Urbonas. The Project is limited to three (3) encroachments. One proposed encroachment (SC-1) is to perform maintenance on an existing stream crossing culvert. Work for this encroachment will include rock armoring the outlet, installation of erosion control measures, annually monitoring the crossing for erosion of road fill around the outlet, and seasonally clearing the inlet and outlet of debris and sediment. One proposed encroachment is to upgrade an existing culvert (SC-2). Work for this encroachment will include excavation, removal of the existing culvert, replacement with a new properly sized culvert, backfilling and compaction of fill, and rock armoring as necessary to minimize erosion. The third encroachment is to replace the spillway culvert for an existing on-stream pond. Permittee will provide engineered designs and plans to CDFW for review and acceptance within three years from the effective date of this Agreement, and prior to beginning the project. Work for this encroachment will include excavation, removal of the existing culvert, replacement with new properly sized culvert, backfilling and compaction of fill, and rock armoring as necessary to minimize erosion.
