The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 2, has executed Lake Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification Number PLA-65204-R2 for the construction of a new residential pier for applicant Lee Arioto. Located at Lake Tahoe in Placer County, California, the project is classified under NAICS code 237990. The project is exempt under California Code of Regulations title 14, sections 15303 and 15304, as it involves a small accessory residential structure and minor alterations without the removal of mature trees. The scope of work includes a pier extending approximately 114.6 feet, featuring a 6-inch-thick concrete landing with steel steps and a causeway that widens from 8 feet to 15 feet. The pierhead measures 15 feet wide by 45 feet long and includes two adjustable catwalks measuring 3 feet wide by 30 feet long. Construction requires driving eighteen 10-3/4 inch diameter steel hollow tube pilings into the lakebed, including two pilings for public access stairs. Additionally, the project incorporates 18 square feet of fish habitat enhancement through the construction of two 9 square foot clean gravel and cobble pyramids on the north and south sides of the pier.
