Document Description
The California Department of Transportation (Permittee) proposes replacement of the existing San Lorenzo River Bridge. The Project includes the following work activities: 1) phased demolition of the existing five span T-girder style bridge 2) phased construction of a new free span bridge that is 106 feet long and 40 feet wide 3) installation of a temporary creek diversion system 4) restoration and enhancement of on-site habitat for the Central California Coast Coho Salmon (Covered Species). The Project is expected to cause the temporary loss of 0.08 acres of habitat for the Covered Species over 82 linear feet of the San Lorenzo River. Impacts of the authorized taking also include adverse impacts to the Covered Species related to temporal losses, water quality degradation and edge effects, and the Project’s incremental contribution to cumulative impacts. The project is expected to result in incidental take of Covered Species, take as defined by Fish and Game Code in the form of adverse impacts from excessive sedimentation in the creek from the operation of heavy equipment within the channel bed and encroachment from individuals on foot that may result in the the loss of Covered Species, or in the form of capture and relocate or recover and transport injured Covered Species to care facilities of Covered Species, designated as Endangered species under CESA. The ITP referenced above as issued by CDFW authorizes incidental take of species listed under CESA that may occur as a result of Project implementation.
