Title

Round Valley Meadow and Stream Headcut Repair and Elevation Restoration PROJECT WITHDRAWN

Description

The California Department of Fish and Game is issuing an Agreement regarding Proposed Stream or Lake Alteration to the project applicant. The project consists of the reparation of Round Valley Meadow in San Jacinto State Park, where excess run-off over several years has caused incising and the creation of a channel. This wet meadow whose vegetation normally depends on ephemeral flows. The applicant proposes to fill the degraded, entrenched and eroded stream channel with fill borrowed from nearby upland and depositional sites. The applicant will then compact the fill material during placement and add top soil and re-vegetate it with on-site live trees and meadow plants. The borrowed area will also be re-vegetated. Dead trees will be used to recruit logs for grade control structures. Work will be performed by Civilian Conservation Corps, members and the applicant's staff using hand tools with mechanized equipment delivered to the project site by helicopter lift. No nesting cavities were found on the site. Less than 0.1 acre of the eroded site will be affected and only 0.65 acre of upland site.
