Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS-SON-34279-R3, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Derek Fliess.
The project is limited to the removal of an existing failing bridge and associated bagged concrete used for bank armoring. The project also includes the construction of a flat bottom culvert and associated riprap as a replacement for the existing bridge. The existing bridge to be removed is approximately 12 feet wide and 20 feet long, with approximately 20 linear feet of bagged concrete. The new culvert will measure 20 feet long and 12 feet wide with the bottom of the culvert set approximately 12 inches below the grade of the creek to allow for a natural flow. The new culvert will include approximately 20 linear feet of riprap. Water may be present in the creek at the time of construction and the site will be dewatered prior to construction. The replacement culvert and associated riprap will occupy approximately 240 square feet, which is the same size as the existing bridge and bagged concrete, so the project will not create any new permanent impacts. The project will result in approximately 300 square feet of temporary impact to open water habitat due to dewatering of the project site. The project will result in the removal of one alder tree (Alnus sp.). Access and staging will occur via existing roads and developed pullouts, with no additional impacts to the riparian habitat.
