Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has executed
Lake Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification Number LAK-61435-R2, pursuant to Section
1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project Applicant, Russell Porterfield. The project is
limited to replacement of an existing 75-foot-long seawall that is actively failing and directly
adjoins a neighboring wall to the east. The neighboring wall is also being replaced under
EPIMS notification number LAK-61631. The replacement wall will be approximately 3 feet
lakeward of the existing wall. The wall will be built with a total of 13 steel pilings (8-inch
diameter), approximately 6 feet apart, with vinyl sheet panel attached between each piling. A
portion of the existing soil backfill will be removed using heavy equipment to reduce collapse
risk. Once the project is complete the area will be backfilled with a total of approximately 83
cubic yards of light drain rock. A tree stump will be removed; no live native vegetation will be
impacted. The project will be completed with a compact excavator, crane, pontoon boat, and
pile driver.
