O’Connor Stream Crossings Project (Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS TRI-56519-R1)

The O'Connor Stream Crossings Project, identified as Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-TRI-56519-R1, is a regulatory approval granted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to Sean O'Connor pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. This action is not a procurement contract but a regulatory authorization for work located in the Trinity River watershed of Trinity County, California, specifically within the Salyer U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle at Assessor's Parcel Number 008-010-018. The project is categorically exempt under Class 33 of the California Code of Regulations, as it is determined to have no significant adverse environmental impact. The scope of work is limited to four encroachments to decommission existing road stream crossings. Key technical requirements include the excavation of road fill to the former streambed grade and the relocation of fill material to stable onsite or offsite locations. To protect state waters, the project requires the hydrological disconnection of road segments to prevent runoff from discharging across excavated slopes and the implementation of erosion control best management practices, including mulching, seeding, and revegetating bare soils. Administration of the agreement is managed by Kalyn Bocast, Senior Environmental Scientist Specialist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
