The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS-CCA-53564-R3 with CAD Masters, Inc. for the Creek Bank Restoration project located at 1003 Carol Lane in Lafayette, California. Pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, the project focuses on the restoration and stabilization of a creek bank at a tributary of Las Trampas Creek in Contra Costa County. The work is classified under a Class 4 categorical exemption for minor alterations to land, water, and vegetation. The scope of work includes grading the creek bank to a maximum 1.3:1 slope, installing planted rock slope protection, applying native seed, and placing biodegradable netting.
