Diversion Dam Access Trail (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. COL-59244-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification Number COL-59244-R2 for project applicant Daniel Lawson. The project focuses on stabilizing a previously graded access trail extending from the ridgeline to the north side base of a water diversion dam on Stony Creek in Colusa County, California. This work is conducted pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code and is categorized as a forecast under NAICS code 237990. To minimize environmental impact, the project requires the removal of large dirt clumps from the bank of Stony Creek and the implementation of bank stabilization measures. Key deliverables include the reseeding of disturbed soils and the installation of silt fencing and erosion control blankets on stream banks located above the Ordinary High-Water Mark. The project is granted a categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Sections 15302 and 15304, as it involves the restoration of an existing trail and minor land alterations without the removal of mature trees. Robert Hosea, an Environmental Scientist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife Region 2, serves as the primary point of contact for the project.
