During September 2021, the County of San Luis Obispo Water Conservation and Flood Control District (District), in coordination with the City of San Luis Obispo (City), applied for several permits in compliance with the provisions of the Clean Water Act and provided responses in February 2022 to initial requests for information from the following agencies:
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Section 1600The initial request for information from CDFW triggered additional surveys and supplemental report preparation. Another request for information during March 2022, prompted a meeting between all parties. The District prepared a third submittal for CDFW review in June 2022.
Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE), Section 404During May 2022, the District prepared letters regarding the Endangered Species Act and will be fielding questions from the National Marine Fisheries Service and/or United States Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition, the District has received guidance to move forward with tribal consultation.
Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Section 401Following a March 2022 site-walk, the District prepared a response to a subsequent request for information from the Regional Board and a 401 Certification is anticipated during summer 2022.
The City is making progress on permanent easements and temporary construction easement appraisals and has so far received appraisals from Hamner, Jewel and Associates for work impacting the Madonna Property west of Bianchi Bridge and the Todd Property adjacent to Mathews open space where channel widening will involve removal of an existing structure on the Todd property. The City also expects to receive a third appraisal for the Hayes property, which is adjacent to Todd. City staff will be requesting negotiating authority from City Council in a closed session the second meeting in July to begin formal negotiations with the property owners. Additionally, City and County staff are negotiating a funding arrangement for the unfunded portion of the project construction phase and City staff are developing a formal letter request for funding support.
