Glenwood Cutoff Road 0.02 Storm Damage Repair Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-SCR-35548-R3)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife issued Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-SCR-35548-R3 to the Santa Cruz County Department of Public Works, represented by Joel LaCagnina, authorizing emergency storm damage repairs to Glenwood Cutoff Road at Post Mile 0.02 near Bean Creek. The project involves installing a 104-foot soldier pile and timber lagging retaining wall adjacent to the stream bank, with the existing crib wall left in place, along with 125 cubic yards of concrete backfill. A Hot Mix Asphalt dike will be constructed along the road edge to direct runoff, and a storm drain system featuring two drop inlets, 18 feet of pipe, a T-style end, and a rock slope protection gravel filter outfall will be installed to manage water flow and prevent erosion. A Midwest guardrail system will be added along the new road shoulder, and erosion control will be achieved using erosion control netting, fiber rolls, and hydro mulch applied with hand tools. All work is performed from the existing roadway without dewatering or tree removal, ensuring minimal environmental impact. The project qualifies for a CEQA statutory exemption under Section 15269(a) due to emergency conditions stemming from prior storm damage, allowing for expedited execution without full environmental review. Compliance is mandated under Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code, with oversight and final acceptance vested in the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The project's location is defined as Glenwood Cutoff Road, Post Mile 0.02, Santa Cruz County, with no formal contract pricing, delivery schedule, or federal acquisition regulation clauses included. Contact for administration and inspections is handled by Alexis Harrison, Environmental Scientist, and Craig J. Weightman, Environmental Program Manager, with the contractor represented by Joel LaCagnina.
