The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS-SDO-58869-R5 with Jerome Abboud, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. Located at 1777 Tecalote Drive in Fallbrook, California, within an unnamed tributary to the San Luis Rey River, the project is designed to remediate unauthorized grading and trenching activities identified in a Notice of Violation dated March 4, 2025. The scope of work involves compacting and recontouring soil within the stream bed, bank, and channel to restore the area to its pre-disturbed conditions. Additionally, the project includes the construction of an Arizona crossing to provide authorized access from the on-site residence to the adjacent open space. The project is classified under a Notice of Exemption dated October 7, 2025, as it meets the criteria for minor land alterations under Categorical Exemption Class 4, section 15304. Anticipated operations will utilize a small track loader, and all equipment staging must be conducted within the project area but strictly outside of the stream's bed, bank, and channel. The site is identified by Assessor's Parcel Numbers 108-150-49-00 and 108-490-01-00. Key administrative contacts for the project include Environmental Program Manager Glen M. Lubcke and Environmental Scientist Alison Kalinowski.
