Kislak Water Diversion and Stream Crossing Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-MEN-63920-R1C)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-MEN-63920-R1C for Tamara Kislak, located in the Russian River watershed near Ukiah, Mendocino County. This project, classified under NAICS code 237990, involves two specific encroachments focused on the operation, repair, and maintenance of existing infrastructure with no expansion of use. The first encroachment covers the use and maintenance of a 40-foot deep well located approximately 20 feet from Young Creek, which provides water for domestic use and cannabis irrigation under Small Irrigation Use Registration H500244. The second encroachment involves the maintenance of a seasonal-use low water crossing on a Class I unnamed tributary to Feliz Creek. This work includes installing additional rock base on road approaches in accordance with stream crossing recommendations prepared by Munselle Civil Engineering. This crossing is strictly limited to use when no surface water is present. The project has been granted a Notice of Exemption based on categorical exemptions Class 1 and Class 4 under California Code of Regulations, as the work consists of minor alterations and maintenance of existing facilities.
