Description

This proposed project at Carpinteria Creek is to implement the following Project. Construction at Carpinteria Creek would include the following construction elements: 1) replace, widen, lengthen, and raise the northbound and southbound US-101 Carpinteria Creek Bridges; 2) extend Via Real from the current cul-de-sac at the San Roque Mobile Home Park over Carpinteria Creek to Linden Avenue, building a new bridge for Via Real over Carpinteria Creek (including one lane in each direction, one Class II bike path in each direction, and five-foot wide sidewalks on the north side; 3) move the alignment of Via Real closer to US-101; 4) regrade and widen an approximately 535 linear ft section of Carpinteria Creek; 5) widen the width of the bottom of Carpinteria Creek near the ordinary high water marks (OHWMs) from an existing width of approximately 35 ft to a new width of approximately 65 ft; 6) widen the distance between banks from an existing width of approximately 110 ft to a new width of approximately 140 ft; 7) excavate an estimated 5,021 CY of material from the existing Carpinteria Creek channel, including approximately 638 CY of material below the new OHWMs of the widened channel; and 8) install an estimated 4,848 CY of Rock Slope Protection along the restored banks of Carpinteria Creek, and in adjacent areas, including approximately 393 CY of RSP below the new OHWMs of the widened channel. The project will result in impacts to 1,903 acres of impacts to Carpinteria and Franklin Creeks that also includes in-stream wetlands and riparian vegetation. Project will permanently remove 0.537 acre of combined streambed and riparian habitat and temporarily impact 1.366 acres of streambed, wetland, and riparian habitats. The SAA referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes those impacts as specified above that may occur as a result of project implementation.
