Dry Creek Road Bridge Replacement (Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. SJN-65427-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 2, has executed Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification Number SJN-65427-R2 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. This project, managed by the San Joaquin Council of Governments, involves the replacement of the existing timber bridge 29C-276 along Dry Creek Road at North Fork Coyote Creek in San Joaquin County, California. The scope of work entails replacing the timber structure with a reinforced concrete pipe culvert crossing consisting of three parallel rows of 60-inch-diameter reinforced concrete pipes. Each pipe will be approximately 32 feet in length and constructed from 8-foot pipe segments, requiring minimal excavation of the creek beds and banks. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237310 and is identified as a forecast with a posted date of July 1, 2026. It has been issued a Notice of Exemption under California Code of Regulations title 14, sections 15301 and 15302, as the work involves the replacement of a deteriorated public structure without expanding its footprint or use. Primary points of contact for the project include Environmental Scientist Hailey Donaldson with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Jeff Verstl with the San Joaquin Council of Governments.
