Document Description
Bridge #1 on San Simeon Creek is located 2.3 miles east of SR 1 on San Simeon Creek Road. The bridge, which is scheduled for replacement in 2007, is supported by one pier located in the creek channel. Excessive scour has undercut the base of the pier and the bridge is in danger of failing prior to replacement. The proposed project would reinforce the pier until the bridge can be replaced. An excavator would be used to remove approximately 700 cy of sediment from around the pier. A form would be built around the base and concrete pumped around the form to strengthen the base. One-ton rock slope protection (RSP) would be added to protect the base. Approx. 500 cy of RSP and concrete, and 200 yds. of backfill soil, would be placed at the base of the pier. Access to the site would be via an existing road along the right bank (looking downstream), and work would be conducted during dry conditions to avoid impacts to southern steelhead and California red-legged frogs. The project is necessary to protect the bridge and minimize the chance of catastrophic failure during high flows. Issuance of a Streambed Alteration Agreement Number 1600-2004-0693-3 is pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 1602.
