3168 Seawall Stabilization (Lake Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. LAK-61435-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification Number LAK-61435-R2 for the 3168 Seawall Stabilization project located at 3168 Elizabeth Drive, Lakeport, CA. The project, managed by applicant Russell Porterfield, involves the replacement of an actively failing 75-foot-long seawall on Clear Lake. The new structure will be positioned approximately 3 feet lakeward of the existing wall and will consist of 13 steel pilings, each 8 inches in diameter and spaced roughly 6 feet apart, with vinyl sheet panels attached between them. To ensure stability and reduce collapse risk, a portion of the existing soil backfill will be removed using heavy equipment, and the area will subsequently be backfilled with approximately 83 cubic yards of light drain rock. Additionally, the scope includes the removal of a tree stump, though no live native vegetation will be impacted. The project is being conducted pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code and has been granted a categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14, sections 15302 and 15304. Implementation will require the use of specialized equipment, including a compact excavator, crane, pontoon boat, and pile driver. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 2 - Northern Central, serves as the approving agency, with Claire Bryant designated as the Environmental Scientist contact. While the technical specifications and environmental exemptions are clearly defined, specific contract values, pricing schedules, and administrative payment details are not provided in the current documentation.
