Title

Friends Christian High School

Description

The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2005-0309-R5 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project applicant, Mr. Richard Kemptom of Friends Christian High School on the 32.5-acre parcel in the City of Yorba Linda. The project includes a total of 175,000 square feet of building space divided into 8 buildings. An athletic field (football/track and field/soccer/baseball and softball fields), tennis courts, hardcourts, swimming pool, a gymnasium and a 526-space parking lot (as well as a 100-space overflow parking lot) are also proposed project components. A 0.25-acre detention basin is proposed to capture runoff from the proposed parking lot. The City of Yorba Linda will share these facilities with the Friends Christian High School. The project site contains two unnamed drainages that convey nuisance flows from the Robert Diemer Filtration Plant located north of the project site, to a storm drain adjacent to Bastanchury Road. Implementation of the proposed project will result in permanent impacts to both drainages for a total of 0.81-acres of jurisdictional streams, including 0.29 acres of riparian habitat subject to Department jurisdiction pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 1600 et seq. All drainages have been characterized as ephemeral. The Operator shall mitigate for impacts by providing adequate funding to the Santa Ana Watershed Association in Lieu Fee Program for the purchase of 2.4 acres of credit to be applied towards the creation, restoration and/or enhancement of 2.4 acres of native riparian habitat. The money shall be used only for the creation, restoration, and/or enhancement of riparian habitat. Proof of payment of fees shall be submitted to the Department prior to commencing project activities. The 2.4 acres of in lieu fee fulfills the Department's 1.65 acre mitigation requirement.
