The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS-MOO-62328-R6 to Craig Rufi, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. Located at 155 Rainbow St. in June Lake, Mono County, the project involves realigning an existing culvert within an unnamed tributary to Reversed Creek to eliminate water flow beneath a residential structure. The new alignment will divert flow from the existing inlet, run perpendicular to the property line, and follow the roadside property boundary. The scope of work includes temporary surficial ground disturbance to bury the new culvert and the reinforcement of both the existing inlet and outlet with a total of 20 square feet of rock slope protection. The project is designated as a Class 4 categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15304, as it involves only minor alterations to privately owned land. Administrative oversight is provided by Dana Scott, an Environmental Scientist with the CDFW. The project site is specifically identified by Assessor's Parcel Number 016-214-020-000 and coordinates Latitude 37.76490, Longitude -119.10043. The Notice of Exemption for this work was dated January 12, 2026.
