I-5 Far North

The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2005-0460-R5 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project applicant, Mr. Son Nguyen of California Department of Transportation. The operator proposes to alter the streambed and bank by constructing a new high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and also by constructing mixed flow lanes of 10.5 miles long in both directions of the I-5 freeway extending from the vicinity of SR-91 in Buena Park to the vicinity of Lakewood Boulevard in the city of Downey. Project activities on the North Bound (NB) of the I-5 include widening the bridge over Fullerton Creek, installing infill walls between the existing CISS Piles, and adding CISS Piles in order to support the proposed bridge widening. Project activities on the South Bound (SB) of I-5 include replacing the SB Bridge over Fullerton Creek and installing pier walls. The linear extent of the project within Fullerton Creek consist of 285'. On the NB side the proposed changes to the bridge will create an increase of 0.237 acres of coverage over Fullerton Creek, whereas along the SB side, the proposed increase in coverage over Fullerton Creek is 0.200 acres and the changes associated with the channel improvements will result in an increase of 32.268 square yards (0.007 acre) on the SB and 19.375 square yards (0.004 acre) along the NB. The operator shall not impact more than 0.448 acre of stream channel, of which 0.011 acre are permanent and 0.437 acre are temporary. All jurisdictional channels are entirely concrete lined at the proposed project site and no native riparian habitat shall be impacted as a result of the proposed project.
