Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

By Resolution Number (No.) 07-025 (October 16, 2007), the Board of Supervisors (BOS) authorized the Director of Transportation or his designee to execute the agreement, any amendments thereto, and any documents required to obtain and implement the grant for the Fish Rock Road Sediment Reduction Project.                     

Summary of Request

This Fish Rock Road Sediment Reduction Project will resume implementation of a previous 2014 sediment reduction project on Fish Rock Road that could not be completed due to funding constraints. The renewed project will implement sediment reduction treatments that were previously identified and prioritized through completion of the 5 Counties Salmonid Conservation Program’s Direct Inventory of Road Treatments (DIRT) inventory. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has been offered Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Compliance funding from the State of California (Caltrans) in the amount of $482,211, with no local match, to resume implementation of the previous sediment reduction project. DOT is requesting the Board authorize the Director of Transportation or his designee to accept the TMDL Compliance Funding from the State of California in the amount of $482,211, execute the agreement and any amendments thereto, and sign any other necessary related documents on behalf of Mendocino County to resume implementation of the previous sediment reduction project on Fish Rock Road, CR 122.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Do not authorize acceptance of the TMDL Compliance Funding from the State of California and do not complete further implementation of sediment reduction on Fish Rock Road.
