Record No.: PLN-2022-17873
Blue Lake Area
A 15-year extension of the Reclamation Plan (SMR-06-91X, CUP-25-91X, SMP-06-91X) for the existing in-stream operations on the Emmerson Bar. A vested rights determination was made in 1992 for the annual maximum extraction of 50,000 cubic yards. The historic operation involves removal of flood-washed aggregate from the exposed bar surface, the construction of seasonal haul roads and, in most years, construction of a summer low flow channel crossing of the Main Stem Mad River. The Emmerson Bar is approximately 333 acres in size; rarely are more than fifteen acres disturbed in any one season. Emmerson Bar is located immediately downstream (east) of the Mad River Bridge on Hatchery Road near the City of Blue Lake. The bar is situated just upstream of the confluence of the Main Stem Mad River and the North Fork Mad River. Most of the surrounding land use is industrial, agricultural and rural residential. Annual extraction volumes, methods and locations are based on recommendations of the County of Humboldt Extraction Review Team (CHERT), the Department of Fish and Game (DF&G) and other regulatory agencies. If approved, the Reclamation Plan will expire July 28, 2039
