All in-stream restoration activities will follow process-based design criteria and do not require engineered designs due to the planned use of on-site, natural materials and stream energy while minimizing overall disturbance. Instream project designs will include low-tech biogenic structures such as post-assisted log structures (PALS) and beaver dam analogs (BDAs), which are ephemeral structures that are used to treat channel head cut features by allowing sediment to aggrade in the channel and halt stream incision. It is anticipated that by adding structural complexity to incised channels upstream sediments will be deposited and aggrade the channels, especially within the wildfire footprints, leading to more floodplain connectivity and subsequent inundation. Restoration also includes removing meadow-encroaching conifer trees which are not adapted to desired wet-meadow conditions ",https://ceqanet.opr.ca.gov/2022050280,Sierra Meadows Process Based Restoration Project,Brandon Salazar,Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board,Water Resource Control Engineer,brandon.salazar@waterboards.ca.gov,1685 "E" Street,,Fresno,CA,93706,5594456278,37°10'22.1"N 119°12'9.7"W,,"Fresno, Madera","Fresno, Madera",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Categorical Exemption,"Small Habitat Restoration Class 33, Title 14, 15333","The project qualifies for the Small Habitat Restoration CEQA class 33 exemption because: 1) the project size is less than 5 acres and impacts less than 500 linear feet of stream bank, 2) the project is not part of any compensatory mitigation, 3) the primary purpose of the project is to improve habitat, 4) the activities are carried out principally with hand labor and not mechanized equipment, and 5) the project includes river bank stabilization using bioengineering techniques that eliminate erosion from stream incision.",,,,,,,,,,,,
