Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has executed Lake and Streambed
Alteration Agreement ([EPIMS-MEN-52648-R1C), pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 1602, the project
Applicant, Taylor Groves, representing CA Department of Parks and Recreation, Sonoma-Mendocino Coast
District.
This Agreement relies on the Notification materials and a CDFW site visit on January 8, 2025. The Project is limited
to nine (9) encroachments to decommission existing stream crossings. Work for these encroachments will include
excavation and removal of the existing culverts and road fill material, restoration of the stream channel to historic
grade and 1.5 times the average channel width (or as close as feasible based on equipment capabilities),
placement of the excavated road fill along the cut bank of the road to restore natural hillside slope, and restoration
of the stream banks to natural grade. The stream will be replanted with on-site salvaged ferns after project
completion.
