Utility Corridor - 12" Culvert Installation Project (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. ELD-66931-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized a streambed alteration under EPIMS Notification ELD-66931-R2 to the El Dorado Hills Community Services District for the installation of a 50-linear-foot, 12-inch high-density polyethylene storm drainpipe. The pipe will be embedded 24 inches below a utility road surface in crushed rock or aggregate base, with its outfall positioned downstream of an existing trail bridge. Rock slope protection will be installed at both the inlet and outlet to prevent erosion and stabilize the streambed. This work is a component of a larger trail and bridge improvement initiative that includes resurfacing 8,895 square feet of existing trail with aggregate and constructing 430 linear feet of new native soil trails. The project is managed under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, which governs modifications to streambeds and waterways to protect fish and wildlife resources. The lead agency is the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 2 – Northern Central, based in Rancho Cordova, with the primary point of contact being Environmental Scientist Caitlyn Oswalt. Daniel Savala of the El Dorado Hills Community Services District serves as the applicant liaison. The notification was posted on July 1, 2026, and the work is expected to occur within the designated utility corridor in California, with no set-aside requirements or NAICS code specified. All activities must comply with conditions to minimize impacts to aquatic habitats and maintain natural water flow patterns.
