413 Fulton Creek and Deck Repairs Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-SMO-55105-R3)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-SMO-55105-R3 with Mika Derynck for the 413 Fulton Creek and Deck Repairs Project located in San Mateo, California. Pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, the project aims to remediate Cherry Canyon Creek by removing a deck and unpermitted revetments, including a 46-foot section of concrete channel bed and various retaining walls. These existing hardscape structures have caused significant scour holes and are at risk of further undermining. The scope of work includes widening the creek to expand the area below the top of bank by 34 square feet and replacing the existing deck, which currently shades 54 square feet of the creek, with a smaller version that does not overhang the water. Additionally, planted boulders will be installed to stabilize the area. The project has been granted a Notice of Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 4, as determined by the Lead Agency and accepted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
