GLE-5 Stony Creek Embankment Repairs (EA 03-2N630)

The California Department of Transportation District 3 is managing the GLE-5 Stony Creek Embankment Repairs project, identified as EA 03-2N630. Located on Interstate 5 at post mile 27.05 in Glenn County, the project aims to repair an embankment damaged by erosion to prevent further degradation of the east bank of Stony Creek, which threatens the southbound lanes of the highway. The scope of work includes the removal of damaged fence sections, the placement of rock slope protection, and other incidental work. The project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 237310 and has been granted a CEQA Class 1(d) exemption for existing facilities and a NEPA categorical exclusion. Execution of the work requires strict coordination and permitting, including an emergency 401 permit from the Central Valley Water Quality Control Board, an RGP-8 permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers, and an emergency 1600 permit notification from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Key personnel overseeing the project include Project Manager Ethan Hyde and Environmental Scientist Jason Ammerman.
