Document Description
The project is limited to 8 encroachments (Table 1). Two encroachments are to remove water diversion infrastructure from springs that feed tributaries to the South Fork Eel River. Water was diverted for commercial cannabis irrigation and diversion shall cease entirely for any purpose. Five proposed encroachments are to upgrade failing and undersized stream crossings or decommission the crossing. Work for these encroachments will include excavation, removal of the failing crossings, replacement with new properly sized crossings, backfilling and compaction of fill, and rock armoring as necessary to minimize erosion. One project is to cover large-scale stream restoration where the Permittee bulldozed a large flat over a spring and stream for commercial cannabis cultivation and will restore the site pursuant to a CDFW-approved restoration plan.
