Whitehead Slough Bridge Replacement Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-LAS-57688-R1)

The Whitehead Slough Bridge Replacement Project, identified by Notification No. EPIMS-LAS-57688-R1, involves the replacement of a structurally deficient bridge located on Capezzoli Lane in Lassen County, California. Executed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, the agreement is held with the Lassen County Department of Public Works. The project aims to replace an existing 54-foot-long by 19-foot-wide steel span structure with a new, larger bridge measuring 83 feet in length and 36 feet in width. To minimize environmental impact, the new bridge design features abutments located outside of the channel above the Ordinary High Water Mark, with a superstructure that spans the channel without the use of central supports. The project is situated at Whitehead Slough, a tributary to Honey Lake, at geographic coordinates Latitude 40.33661 and Longitude -120.36423. A Notice of Exemption was issued on September 29, 2025, citing California Code of Regulations classes 1, 2, and 4, which indicates that the proposed alterations are minor and expected to have no significant environmental impact. While the specific contract value and period of performance are not provided in the documentation, the project is managed under the oversight of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Northern Region.
