Title

Notice of Intent to Adopt an Initial Study with Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration

Description

The El Dorado County Department of Transportation (Department) intends to enter into a 12-year Routine Maintenance Agreement (RMA) with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to conduct the Department’s routine maintenance of the private and public facilities integral to the El Dorado County Road System. The Department performs routine maintenance work to maintain functional and structural integrity of their facilities with the ultimate goal of the preservation of infrastructure and public safety. The Department’s proposed RMA would cover routine maintenance in areas where maintenance would result in the modification of a lake or stream’s bed, bank, or channel. This routine maintenance work is divided into 10 categories: (1) Removal, Replacement, or Repair of Facilities; (2) Debris and Obstruction Removal; (3) Vegetation Control in Channels or on Banks; (4) Repair of Previous Erosion Control Work; (5) Minor Erosion Control Work; (6) Channel Alignment Maintenance; (7) Road Maintenance and Storm Water Runoff Systems (MS-4) Maintenance; (8) Minor Bridge Maintenance; (9) Silt, Sand, or Sediment Removal; and, (10) Maintenance of Existing Recreational Facilities. Permitted maintenance work will be performed by the Department every 1 to 5 years. Work will be planned in order to avoid impacts to waterways, wetlands, vernal pools, and special-status species.
