Routine Maintenance (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-SON-62156-R3)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS-SON-62156-R3, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the City of Rohnert Park. The Project is limited to routine maintenance activities at 9 locations which are defined as activities that are periodically scheduled and implemented as necessary to maintain the water transport capacity of stream channels and the structural and functional integrity of existing bridges and culverts on or affecting streams and reduce fire hazards. Maintenance activities considered to be “routine” include: 1) vegetation management including limbing and trimming of tree branches; mowing of stream banks; string line trimming; herbicide use; removal of fallen and dead trees and cattails (Typha sp.), tules (Schoenoplectus sp.), or other vegetation; and limited removal of live trees; 2) maintenance of associated drainage infrastructure, including outfalls, culverts, bridges, and other flow-control structures, including vegetation trimming to maintain access to this infrastructure; 3) sediment and debris removal. No de-watering or in-water work will occur as part of the Project. No bridges will be replaced as part of the Project.
