EA 10-1E850_SR 124 Culvert Replacement (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. AMA-61929-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification Number AMA-61929-R2, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, for a project led by the California Department of Transportation. Located at an unnamed tributary to Dry Creek on State Route 124 post mile 0.32 in Amador County, the project involves replacing a deteriorating double barrel corrugated steel culvert with a reinforced concrete box culvert using an open trench method. Additional work includes replacing inlet and outlet headwalls with box culvert wingwalls and grading the roadway shoulder. The project is identified as Categorically Exempt under Class 1(d) of the California Code of Regulations because it replaces an existing culvert system to meet current standards. Environmental protections are in place to ensure no riparian vegetation or trees are removed, and a temporary clear water diversion may be implemented if flowing or standing water is present during in-channel work. Primary points of contact for the project include Mary Xiong, Senior Environmental Scientist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Edujie Imoisili, Property Proponent with the California Department of Transportation.
