Caltrans Culvert Repair Coastal Development Permit
Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 518-012-002
Record No.: PLN-2025-19456
Big Lagoon Area
A follow-up Coastal Development Permit (CDP) to a previously approved Emergency CDP (PLN-2025-19455) for the installation of a new stormwater DI (drainage inlet), connected to the existing stormwater DI in the pullout with an extended 47 feet of pipe. The existing drainage system is non-functional and is being extended to properly collect water and transport it downslope. The roadway has been undermined and has failed several times due to this runoff saturating the road prism. There was imminent failure of the roadway shoulder and prism if the work was not performed before additional heavy winter storms.
