Public Notice of Mitigated Negative Declaration for CDFW's 2023 Fisheries Restoration Grant Program's Mitigated Negative Declaration Project.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) 2023 Fisheries Restoration Grant Program (FRGP) is providing Public Notice of the completion of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for Project (SCH # 2023090699). The MND Project enhances the capability of streams to produce anadromous salmonids by maintaining, restoring, and improving stream habitat essential to salmonid production. The public review period for 2023 FRGP's MND Project is open until November 13, 2023.
Project Location: Various streams in Del Norte, Humboldt, Siskiyou, and Mendocino counties.
Description of Project: This project will use grant funds approved by the California Legislature to initiate activities that are designed to restore salmon and steelhead habitat in coastal streams and watersheds that historically produced large populations of salmon and steelhead. The 2022 FRGP's MND Project activities occur in watersheds that have been subjected to significant levels of logging, road building, mining, grazing, and other activities that have reduced the quality and quantity of stream habitat available for native anadromous fish. Restoration activities include fish passage improvement at stream crossings, instream barrier modification for fish passage, instream habitat restoration, riparian restoration, upslope watershed restoration, cooperative rearing, and water conservation measures.
The MND and its documents in full can be viewed on the State Clearinghouse's CEQANetCEQANet(opens in new tab).
Comments must be received by November 13, 2023.
