Document Description
Tulare County proposes to enter a long-term, 12-year Streambed Alteration Agreement/Routine Maintenance Agreement with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) for ongoing maintenance within jurisdictional stream channels, drainage facilities, and associated CDFW jurisdictional areas. The County anticipates approximately 30 maintenance projects per year.
Activities may include repair or replacement of drainage facilities; channel alignment maintenance; debris, obstruction, and sediment removal; vegetation control and grazing; minor erosion-control work; and limited geotechnical or subsurface cultural-resource testing. Exact methods, locations, and extent of individual activities would be reviewed by CDFW through the Verification Request Form process. The IS/MND identifies potentially significant effects that would be reduced to less-than-significant levels through adopted mitigation measures and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP).
