Beckstoffer Replant – Phase 4b (PL-26-274)

The Beckstoffer Replant Phase 4b project involves the removal of existing vines across approximately 45 acres of vineyard located on parcels 009-006-78, 009-006-24, 009-006-44, and 009-006-90 in Lake County, California. The scope of work includes the removal of surface irrigation tubing and trellises, after which vines will be pushed over and piled within the existing vineyard block boundaries. The project is designed to maintain the current farming footprint, ensuring that no native vegetation is disturbed and no material is stored outside the existing vineyard area. To mitigate environmental impact, the project stipulates that no grading, cutting, or filling will occur, and all activities will remain at least thirty feet away from the top of banks of watercourses, wetlands, lakes, or vernal pools. The removal process targets plants with stable woody root systems extending at least twelve inches below the soil surface, specifically in areas with moderate or severe Erosion Hazard Ratings. This forecast project is managed by the Lake County agency, with Daniel Brancati serving as the primary point of contact.
