The Project is limited to one (1) encroachment for annual removal of up to 200 cubic yards of accumulated gravel, sediment, and trapped debris.

No channel widening, bridge modification, riprap, culverts, or other permanent structures are proposed. All work will occur when the stream is dry and has no surface flow. Vegetation disturbance will be minimal and will include removal of one small multi-stem ash sapling within the downstream excavation area. This Agreement relies on the Notification materials and a CDFW site visit on May 22, 2025.
