Men 20 Drainage

Caltrans District 1 in Eureka is proposing the Men 20 Drainage project, which involves the repair, replacement, and reconstruction of failed or failing drainage systems at seven specific locations on Route 20 between post mile 5.63 and post mile 27.23. All culvert work will be performed in-kind, ensuring that roadway cross slopes and drainage patterns are maintained, with only minor flowline elevation changes at replacement sites. All project activities are located within the Caltrans Right of Way and are intended to preserve roadway integrity for the benefit of the traveling public. The project is classified as a forecast with a posted date of September 23, 2026. According to the Notice of Exemption signed by Senior Environmental Scientist James McIntosh, the work is categorized as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under CCR Title 14, Section 15301, as it constitutes the maintenance of existing facilities with no significant environmental impact. The project is situated in Mendocino County, California.
