Title

Mojave Freeway - State Route 58, Kern County

Description

The Mohave Freeway project is the construction of a 9-mile long segment of four-lane freeway on a new alignment of State Route 58. Three adjacent land parcels were purchased as additional right-of-way and portions of these parcels were used to obtain fill material needed to elevate the roads and for other project fill needs. This Amendment extends the time for acquisition and protection of additional Habitat Management Lands (HM Lands) to January 1, 2008, recalculates direct impacts of the Project to reflects actual habitat loss and reclassifies those portions of the borrow sites where re-vegetation efforts have failed from temporary loss status to permanent loss status. The Permittee is no longer required to complete the re-vegetation of this property but will instead mitigate for the areas of failed re-vegetation by purchasing Department approved compensation land at a 3:1 ratio, less the 1.1:1 already provided by the Permittee (i.e. an additional 1.9:1 requirement).
