Hinojosa Rip Rap Repair Project (Project)

The Hinojosa Rip Rap Repair Project, located at 920 Lassen View Drive in Lake Almanor, Plumas County, California, focuses on bank stabilization to prevent seasonal erosion. The scope of work involves the restacking and re-keying of existing onsite rip rap boulders situated below the high water mark. Project requirements specify that any homeowner property used for equipment staging or as a path of travel must be restored to its original condition if disturbed during the process. The project is managed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Region 5 in Redding, with oversight from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is subject to several regulatory requirements, including Clean Water Act Section 404 authorization and Section 401 Water Quality Certification under WDID No. 5A32CR00266. Additionally, the project is exempt from CEQA review under section 15304 for minor alterations to land. Key personnel include Project Manager Christy Morgan of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Senior Environmental Scientist Lynn Coster of the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
