Prairie City SVRA Goose Pond Culvert (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. SAC-60659-R2)

The Prairie City SVRA Goose Pond Culvert project is a stormwater improvement initiative managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) for the applicant, California State Parks. Executed under Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification Number SAC-60659-R2 and pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, the project aims to prevent or reduce ponding at the service entrance to the Oak Hill Trail system above Goose Pond. The scope of work includes the replacement and installation of a new culvert, rerouting the Bobcat trail over the new structure, raising the road over the replacement by two feet, and recontouring drainage slopes to Goose Pond to create new wetland swales. Restoration efforts will be conducted through hydroseeding and the planting of willow stakes. The project is located at an unnamed tributary to Coyote Creek within the Prairie City SVRA at 13300 White Rock Road, Rancho Cordova, California, in Sacramento County. It has been granted a Notice of Exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14, sections 15302, 15303, and 15333, as the activities involve culvert installation and restoration on less than five acres. While the specific contract value and period of performance are not provided, the project is overseen by the CDFW Region 2 office, with Harvey Tran serving as the primary Senior Environmental Scientist contact.
