4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
The site is a road shoulder hillslope that slid in a February 2019 rain event. The area is rural and forested. The slide, which was blocking a LIT to Lands Creek, was removed and the
road shoulder with rebuilt with shot rock. The LIT to Lands Creek was restored as close as possible to its original location using rock steps, coir matting, seeding, and planting of live
stakes and bare root seedlings along the banks and in the buffer.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
r Yes r' No r Unknown

4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0
49. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
250
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
To repair a fill slope and rebuild a stream that was filled with slide material and fallen trees.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Using heavy equipment (Track -hoes, dump trucks) the material that had slide from below SR 1364 was removed and the shoulder rebuilt with shot rock. A pump -around was used to
avoid excavation in flowing water. To avoid armoring the entire stream, rock step pools were constructed near the pre-existing stream channel and ooir matting, seed, and
livestakes/bare root seedlings were used to "restore" a more natural channel and buffer.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

1. Avoidance and Minimization
31. Total temporary stream impacts:
250
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
We used natural stream stabilisation techniques including rock steps, coir matting on banks, and buffer restoration.
