recommendation
Adopt Resolution authorizing the processing of a Consolidated Coastal Development Permit, LCP_2023-0002 (Trout Unlimited, Dry Dock Gulch Habitat Restoration), by the California Coastal Commission, for Trout Unlimited to restore and enhance alcove habitat for juvenile and adult salmonids in Dry Dock Gulch in the Mendocino Area; and authorize Chair to sign same.

Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
None.
Summary of Request:
Trout Unlimited, in partnership with the California Department of Parks and Recreation, proposes to complete a habitat restoration project in Dry Dock Gulch, a tributary of Big River within the Mendocino Area. The project will provide access to and restore approximately 0.3 acres of tidally influenced alcove habitat in Dry Dock Gulch. The project will replace an undersized, perched stream crossing that is currently a complete barrier to juvenile and adult salmonids and lamprey. Replacement of the culvert will restore access to and enhance important off channel habitat as well as approximately 0.76 miles of “good quality” upstream spawning and rearing habitat. The project is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA - National Marine Fisheries Service) Restoration Center and California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Fisheries Restoration Grants Program.
Currently, the project is split in terms of permit jurisdiction between the California Coastal Commission and Mendocino County. The Coastal Act was amended by Senate Bill 1843, effective January 1, 2007, which allows for a consolidated permitting process for projects when the Coastal Development Permit authority is shared by a local government and the California Coastal Commission. Therefore, Trout Unlimited is seeking a resolution which would consolidate the permit review under the California Coastal Commission for this specific project and streamline the permit process.
Additional details on the project may be found in the attached Memorandum and application materials.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Reject the Resolution, and direct staff to process a Coastal Development Permit for the portion of the project located in the County’s jurisdiction.
