Document Description
The proposed Project involves widening and elevating the SR 41 roadway between post mile 6.5 and post mile 9.0 to correct non-standard shoulder widths, flooding potential, and line of sight issues. Beyond these points and within the 2.9-mile Project Area, the Project will involve repaving the existing roadway. Amendment 2 involves increasing the Project Area by 1.33 acres between post miles 8.2 and 8.5.
The Project will result in impacts to a total of 29.44 acres of California tiger salamander (Ambystoma californiense) habitat including temporary impacts to approximately 19.909 acres; the Project will permanently remove approximately 9.351 acres of California tiger salamander habitat. The Project is expected to result in incidental take of California tiger salamander which is designated as a threatened species under the California Endangered Species Act. The ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation.
