Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) Coastal Development Permit and Special Permit

A Coastal Development Permit and Special Permit for Design Review for improvements Highway 101 in the Big Lagoon area at post mile (PM) 111.4 through to PM 111.7. Improvements will include reconstruction of the southbound lane and shoulder and associated drainage elements. Three structures are proposed to restore and stabilize the project area: one timber lagging soldier pile ground anchor wall and two anchored pile systems.  Temporary access roads will be constructed at each structure location.  One-way controlled traffic with a temporary signal system will be used throughout construction.  There will be two staging areas in the vicinity of Kane Road: one at PM 111.87 and another at PM 111.72.  In addition, at PM 111.4 an existing 18-inch culvert and downdrain will be replaced with a new 24-inch culvert and downdrain.  Any excess soils from construction will be disposed of at a commercial disposal site.  Construction is expected to last approximately 290 days over two construction seasons.  Upon completion of construction the temporary access roads will be removed, regraded, and replanted with native vegetation to match adjacent conditions.

 

Recommendation

Staff Recommendation:  Move that Humboldt County, as Responsible Agency, has considered the Initial Study-Mitigated Negative Declaration and Addendum prepared by the Lead Agency, the Department of Transportation, and exercising independent judgement finds the project’s impacts are adequately addressed and to make all of the required findings for approval of the Coastal Development Permit and Special Permit based on evidence in the staff report and any public testimony, and adopt the Resolution approving the proposed Department of Transportation’s project subject to the recommended conditions.
