10:30 A.m. 5.01 * Public Hearing - County of Butte - Aguas Frias Road
Bridge - Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration - consideration of the conceptual plans
and environmental determination for construction of
a new bridge on Aguas Frias Road at Butte Creek.
The proposed project site is located on Aguas Frias
Road, approximately 16 miles south of the City of
Chico. The following coordinates define the project
location on the USGS topographic map: T19N, R1E,
Section 3, Nw 1/, Nelson 7.5'. The project involves
acquisition of additional right-of-way along the
east and west sides of the north and south roadway
approaches on Aguas Frias Road, and the construction
and operation of a new bridge over Butte Creek,
replacing two structures currently spanning the main
and overflow channels. The new bridge will be
constructed on a tangential alignment and
immediately downstream of the existing main channel
bridge. The new bridge will be a pre-stressed
concrete box girder structure. The bridge will
consist of eight spans having a total length of
approximately 1,045 feet and approximately 32 feet
8 inches in width. The bridge will be supported on
cast-in-drilled-hole piling supported columns and
concrete abutment walls on steel H-pilings. The
bridge approach roadway construction will extend
approximately 600 feet to the north and south, and
involve the attachment of levee top access to the
new approach roadways. The project is intended to
serve existing vehicle traffic currently using Aguas
Frias Road and crossing Butte Creek. The proposed
project will provide for a safer roadway as well as
increased hydraulic efficiency at the site. No
change in traffic is anticipated as a consequence of
the project. The construction contract for the
project is expected to be awarded in April or May
2002, with construction beginning May or June 2002,
and extending into November 2003. A draft mitigated
negative declaration has been prepared for the
proposed project. The public review period began on
December 8, 2000, and will end January 8, 2001. The
Initial Study, upon which the proposed Mitigated
Negative Declaration is based, concludes that
potential environmental impacts will be reduced to
less-than-significant levels - action requested:
