PG&E Oro Fino 1102, PH 1.4 & 1.5 Ephemeral Stream Stabilization Project

The PG&E Oro Fino 1102, PH 1.4 & 1.5 Ephemeral Stream Stabilization Project is a forecast initiative managed by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board in Redding, California. Located in Butte County near the intersection of AJ Stohr and Forest Ranch Road, the project focuses on removing previously placed large cobble from an ephemeral stream and restoring the impacted area to its preexisting conditions. The scope of work requires that all activities occur only when the waterway is completely dry and that sediment be contained using best management practices. The project is designed to have no permanent impacts on the waters of the state, with temporary impacts limited to 0.0029 acre. No constituents will be discharged during the work process. Under the California Environmental Quality Act, the project is categorically exempt from review as it involves minor land and water alterations without the removal of healthy, mature trees. Primary administrative oversight is provided by Senior Environmental Scientist Lynn Coster of the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
