AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Authority:

Section 1798.99.87, Civil Code (Cal. Civ. Code). Reference: Sections 1798.99.80, 1798.99.81, 1798.99.82, 1798.99.85, and 1798.99.87, Civil Code. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW

Summary of Existing Laws and Regulations: In 2023, the Legislature passed — and Governor Newsom signed — Senate Bill (SB) 362 (Chapter 709, Statutes of 2023, also referred to as “the Delete Act”), which, among other things, transferred the administra- tion and enforcement of the Data Broker Registry from the Office of the Attorney General to the California Privacy Protection Agency (“Agency”) as of January 1, 2024. The Agency now maintains the Data Broker Registry and posts publicly the required information disclosed by data brokers.

Under the Delete Act, the Agency was tasked with implementing and adminis - tering the statute. SB 362 established that the Agency may adopt regulations to implement and enforce the bill. (Cal. Civ. Code, § 1798.99.87.) The Delete Act requires that: ● Businesses register to the Data Broker Registry, provide registration information when register - ing, and pay a registration fee. (Cal. Civ. Code, § 1798.99.82.) ● The Agency create and maintain an information - al website (“Data Broker Registry”) that displays the registration information provided by data bro- kers. (Cal. Civ. Code, § 1798.99.84.)

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 27–Z 845 Effect of the Proposed Rulemaking: The Agency may adopt regulations to implement and enforce the Delete Act. (Cal. Civ. Code, § 1798.99.87.) A business that meets the definition of “data broker,” as defined in Civil Code

section 1798.99.80, must reg- ister with the Agency on its website by January 31, fol- lowing each year in which a business acts as a “data broker” and pay the applicable registration fee. For ex- ample, a business that engages in data broker activi - ties in 2023 is required to register by January 31, 2024 — even if the business has no plans to engage in data broker activities in 2024. A data broker that fails to register by January 31 may be liable for administrative fines and costs in an administrative action brought by the Agency. (Cal. Civ.

Code, § 1798.99.82(d).) The Agency administered the data broker registra - tion process for the first time in January of this year. Through that effort, Agency staff encountered a va - riety of common questions and occasional obstacles that indicated a need for clarification of SB 362’s reg- istration requirements. Notably, data brokers reached out with questions about their registration require - ments and expressed confusion due to a lack of clari - ty in the statute around undefined terms.

In addition, a multitude of responses failed to give information that promotes the statute’s goals of consumer protection through transparency and informed decision–making around exercising California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) rights. The Agency also is mandated by statute to host a website providing the data brokers’ registra - tion information and thus is authorized to charge data brokers a registration fee to support the costs of es - tablishing and maintaining the informational website.

These proposed regulations address common ques - tions and obstacles that surfaced for data brokers in the most recent registration period. To that end, the proposed regulations: (1) detail what is included in, and how to pay the registration fee; (2) define terms included in SB 362; and (3) clarify requirements for registration, updates to the registry, and website disclosures.

Specifically, the proposed regulations: ● Clarify that the registration fee includes $400 plus any fees for processing electronic payments. (Proposed § 7600(a).) ● Establish a standardized electronic payment meth- od for registration fees. (Proposed § 7600(b).) ● Establish a rule allowing payment by debit card, check, or wire transfer if a business cannot pay by credit card and the process for such. (Proposed § 7600(c).) ● Establish a rule stating that registration fees will not be prorated or refunded. (Proposed § 7600(d).) ● Define the term “direct relationship” to provide clarity on what businesses are data brokers and ensure the definition is consistent with that con - templated in Civil Code

Section 1798.99.80 sub - division (c). (Proposed § 7601(a).) ● Define the term “minor” as persons under 16 years of age and establish when a business is considered to have knowledge of a person’s age. (Proposed § 7601(b).) ● Define the term “register” to provide clarity on the requirements for completion of registration. (Proposed § 7601(c).) ● Define the term “registration period” to provide clarity on the start date for data broker registra - tion. (Proposed § 7601(d).) ● Define the term “reproductive health care data” and provide examples to add clarity on data bro - ker’s disclosure requirements pursuant to Civil Code

section 1798.99.82 subdivision (b) (2) (E). (Proposed § 7602(e) (1).) ● Clarify that each data broker business, regardless of its status as a subsidiary or parent company to another business, is required to uniquely register. (Proposed § 7602(a).) ● Establish a rule requiring employee or agent for the data broker to register on behalf of the data broker and to have sufficient knowledge of their practices to provide accurate information under penalty of perjury. (Proposed § 7602(b).) ● Establish a rule preventing amendments or with - drawals to registration information after the reg - istration period, subject to exceptions. (Proposed § 7602(c).) ● Establish a rule requiring true and correct re - sponses be submitted by the data broker. (Proposed § 7603(a).) ● Establish a rule requiring accurate and functional website links and email addresses be provided to the Agency. (Proposed § 7603(b).) ● Establish a rule requiring disclosure of business’s alternative names and requiring contact informa - tion to facilitate communication from the Agency as necessary. (Proposed § 7603.) ● Establish a rule requiring disclosure of the types of personal information, products and services, and the proportion of data collected and sold that are subject to other laws. (Proposed § 7603(d).) ● Establish a rule preventing data brokers from re - moving themselves from the registry absent erro- neous registration. (Proposed § 7604(a).) ● Establish a rule allowing updates to certain types of registration information. (Proposed § 7604(b).) ● Establish a rule that a data broker’s disclosure of metrics must comply with

section 7330, where applicable and technically feasible. (Proposed § 7605.)

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 27–Z 846 The Agency does not propose in this rulemaking regulations to implement requirements pertaining to the accessible deletion mechanism. (Cal. Civ. Code, § 1798.99.86.) Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulations: The proposed regulations provide several benefits to Californians by furthering the state’s interest in pro - viding transparency into an industry that collects a massive amount of data about consumers, while con - sumers know very little about what information data brokers collect and sell about them.

By making ad - ditional, uniform information available to consumers, they will have a better understanding of which data brokers may collect their data, thus, enabling consum- ers to be more informed when determining whether to exercise any of their privacy rights, including the right to delete personal information or opt–out of the sale or sharing of their personal information.

The proposed regulations also facilitate increased compliance with CCPA by providing clarity to data brokers about how to register as required by SB 362, providing the ability to pay the registration fee by cred- it card as requested by current data brokers, and defin- ing critical terms. The clarification of requirements in the proposed regulations will strengthen the Agency’s ability to address noncompliance by businesses acting as data brokers.

Increased compliance with the CCPA advances the state’s goal of transparency, supports the consumer’s ability to make informed choices about their personal information, and provides the consum - er with realistic expectations regarding the extent to which they can expect their personal information to be deleted. Moreover, the proposed regulations will result in ef- ficiencies and consistency in the data broker registra - tion process and the information made available to the public. Comparable Federal Regulations: There are no existing federal regulations or statutes comparable to these proposed regulations.

Determination of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations: The Agency has determined that these proposed regulations are not inconsistent or incompatible with existing state regulations. After conducting a review for any regulations that would relate to or affect this area, the Agency has concluded these are the only reg- ulations that concern the data broker registration re - quirements of SB 362. Forms or Documents Incorporated by Reference: None. Other Statutory Requirements: None.

DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION The Agency’s Initial Determinations: Mandate on local agencies or school districts: None. Cost or savings to any state agency: No fiscal impact is anticipated on the Agency. Cost to any local agency or school district which must be reimbursed in accordance with Government Code sections 17500 through 17630: None. Other non–discretionary costs or savings imposed on local agencies: None. Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None.

Cost impacts on representative person or business: The Agency is not aware of any costs impacts that a representative private person or business would nec- essarily incur in reasonable compliance with the pro - posed action. Significant effect on housing costs: None.

Significant, statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses, including ability to compete: The Agency has made an initial determination that the proposed action would not have a significant, state- wide adverse economic impact directly affecting busi- nesses, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. Results of the Economic Impact Assessment: The Agency concludes:

(1) It is unlikely that the proposal would create or eliminate jobs within the state because these reg - ulations merely clarify existing registration re - quirements mandated by statute and make regis - tration easier for businesses.

(2) It is unlikely that the proposal would create new businesses or eliminate existing businesses with - in the state because these regulations merely clarify existing registration requirements man - dated by statute and make registration easier for businesses.

(3) It is unlikely that the proposal would result in the expansion of businesses currently doing busi - ness within the state because regulations mere - ly clarify existing registration requirements man- dated by statute and make registration easier for businesses. The Agency also concludes:

(1) The proposal would benefit the health and welfare of California residents by promoting transparen -

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 27–Z 847 cy about what data brokers maintain and increas- ing compliance with the information statutorily required to be provided by data brokers; ultimate- ly allowing consumers to be more informed when exercising their privacy rights.

(2) The proposal would not benefit worker safety as the provisions do not pertain to, nor impact, worker safety.

(3) The proposal would not benefit the state’s envi - ronment as the provisions do not pertain to, nor will impact, the state’s environment. Business report requirement: The proposed regulations implement the statuto - ry requirements for data brokers to register with the Agency and provide certain information to be includ - ed in the registry. Small business determination: The Agency has made an initial determination that the proposed action may affect small businesses to the extent that they qualify as data brokers. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5, subdivision (a) (13), the Agency must deter - mine that no reasonable alternative considered by the Agency or has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the Agency would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is pro- posed or would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed action or would be more cost–effective to affected private per - sons and equally effective in implementing the statu - tory policy or other provision of law.

The Agency has determined that the proposed reg - ulations are the most effective way to operationalize the data broker registry requirement of SB 362 to bal- ance the benefits to consumers, burdens to data bro - kers, and the purpose of the law itself.

AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE: Pursuant to the authority vested by Business and Professions Code (BPC) sections 7606, 7712.1, and 7712.9, and to implement, interpret or make specific 7606, 7607, 7712.1, 7712.5, and 7712.9, Business and Professions Code, the Bureau is considering amending 2326 and adopting 2326.01 of Title 16 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) as described in this Notice.

INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The Cemetery and Funeral Bureau (Bureau) licens - es, regulates, and investigates complaints against 14 different license categories in California, totaling ap - proximately 11,315 licensees. These licensing catego- ries include funeral establishments, funeral directors, embalmers, apprentice embalmers, cemetery brokers, cemetery broker branch, cemetery broker addition - al, cemetery salespersons, cremated remains dispos - ers, crematories, crematory managers, hydrolysis fa - cilities, cemetery managers, and private, nonreligious cemeteries.

It is the Bureau’s duty to enforce and ad - minister the Cemetery and Funeral Act (Chapter 12 (commencing with

section 7600) of Division 3 of BPC) (Act). (BPC

section 7602, subdivision (a) (2).) The Bureau is authorized to establish necessary rules and regulations for the enforcement of the Act and the laws subject to its jurisdiction. (BPC

section 7606.) In 2023, the Legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 1560 (Flora,

Chapter 206, Statutes of 2023) amending BPC sections 7712.1 and 7712.9. This law authoriz - es a new owner of a crematory to apply to the Bureau to assign a crematory license, under certain require - ments. The new law requires the new owner to submit an application to assign the crematory license includ - ing payment of a fee of $750 to the Bureau. There is no existing regulation that specifies the process and procedures for how an applicant seeking a crematory license to be assigned when a change of ownership occurs.

In addition, BPC 7712.2 requires an application for a crematory license shall be made in writing on the form prescribed by the Bureau and filed at the prin - cipal office of the bureau, and the application shall be accompanied by the fee provided in BPC 7712.9. Also, CCR 2326(

c) prescribes a Crematory License Application for a crematory license shall be filed on the form furnished by the Bureau at the principal of - fice of the Bureau. CCR 2326(

c) does not incorporate the form by reference. This proposal would establish a regulation that specifies the process and procedures for how an appli- cant seeking the assignment of an existing crematory license when a change of ownership occurs; and also

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 27–Z 849 incorporates the initial crematory license application and the application for the assignment of an existing crematory license by reference. The current version of 16 CCR

section 2326, titled “Applications for Cemetery Certificate of Authority and Crematory License,” includes these three subdivisions: ● Subdivision (

a) delineates the cemetery certificate of authority application requirements to operate a cemetery via a form furnished by the Bureau ac - companied by specific documents. ● Subdivision (

b) specifies additional provisions a limited liability company applying for a certifi - cate of authority must meet. ● Subdivision (

c) delineates the crematory license application requirements via a form furnished by the Bureau accompanied by specific documents. The Bureau proposes to: ● Amend CCR

section 2326 by changing the title from “Application for Cemetery Certificate of Authority and Crematory License” to “Application for Cemetery Certificate of Authority.” ● Amend subdivision 2326(

c) by removing the cre- matory license regulatory text to a newly adopted regulation. ● Adopt CCR

section 2326.01, title “Application for Initial Crematory License, or Assignment of an Existing Crematory License.” Subdivision (

a) specifies when applying for an initial crematory or assignment of an existing crematory license, the applicant shall submit a completed Bureau form 23–CR (new 1/24), “Crematory License Application or Assignment of an Existing Crematory License” on paper form or electroni - cally, if available. This form shall be used to apply for licensure and incorporates the form by refer - ence. It also specifies the required documents and required fee to be submitted with the application. Subdivision (

b) specifies that in addition to the re- quirements of subdivision (

a) of this section, the new owner seeking the assignment of an existing crematory license shall submit to the Bureau the change of ownership to assign an existing crema- tory license shall occur once the Bureau has ap - proved the application. The new owner shall sub- mit the application to the Bureau at least 30 days before the change of ownership occurs.

Copy of the final dated and signed sales agreement shall be submitted to the Bureau within 10 days of the final sale; and within 60 days from the date of the sales agreement the new owner must submit to the Bureau the local air pollution required permit to operate the crematory, the new owner shall file satisfactory proof of the permit issued at least 30 days before the change of ownership occurs. ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF PROPOSED REGULATIONS This proposal would establish a consistent and sim- ple process for an applicant seeking the assignment of a crematory license.

In addition, it provides business continuity to the new owner by allowing the new own- er to maintain critical services rather than ceasing op - erations of a crematory to issue a new license when there is a change of ownership. DETERMINATION OF INCONSISTENCY/ INCOMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING REGULATIONS During the process of developing these regulations and amendments, the Bureau has conducted a search of any similar regulations of these topics and has con- cluded that these regulations are neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state regulations.

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE Application for Initial Crematory License, or Assignment of an Existing Crematory License, form 23–CR (New 1/24). DISCLOSURES REGARDING PROPOSED ACTION FISCAL IMPACT ESTIMATES The regulations result in minor and absorbable costs to the Bureau.

Fiscal Impact on Public Agencies Including Costs or Savings to State Agencies and Costs or Savings in Federal Funding to the State: The regulations result in one–time (absorbable) workload and costs of approximately $750 to update and post the (new) Application for Initial Crematory License or Assignment of an Existing Crematory License (New 1/24) to the Bureau’s website. The regulations do not result in costs or savings in federal funding to the state. Nondiscretionary Costs/Savings to Local Agencies: None. Local Mandate: None.

Cost to Any Local Agency or School District for Which Government Code Sections 17500–17630 Require Reimbursement: None. Business Impact: The Bureau has made an initial determination that the proposed regulatory action would not have a sig - nificant, statewide adverse economic impact directly

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 27–Z 850 affecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states because this proposal only affects already licensed crematories. The Bureau currently is responsible for 230 licensed crematories throughout California. This regulation is giving the applicant the option to request the assign - ment of an existing crematory license. Any workload to complete and submit the applica - tion is anticipated to be done within normal business operations and without incurring additional costs.

Business Reporting Requirement: The regulatory action does not require businesses to file a report with the Bureau. Cost Impact on Representative Private Person or Business: The Bureau is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would nec - essarily incur in reasonable compliance with the pro - posed action. Any workload to complete and submit the applica - tion is anticipated to be done within normal business operations and without incurring additional costs. Effect on Housing Costs: None.

RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT/ANALYSIS Impact on Jobs/Businesses: The Bureau has determined that this regulatory pro- posal will not create or eliminate jobs, will not create new businesses, or eliminate existing businesses, and will not affect the expansion of businesses currently doing business within the State of California because this proposed regulation applies to licensed cremato - ries seeking the Bureau’s approval to change owner - ship and have a crematory license assigned to the new owner.

Benefits of Regulation: ● As stated above under ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF PROPOSED REGULATIONS, the benefits to the health and welfare of California residents include a consistent and streamlined process for an applicant seeking a crematory li - cense, as well a allowing crematory owners to maintain critical services when there is a change of ownership. ● There are no anticipated benefits to worker safety because this regulatory package allowing the as - signment of a licensed crematory has no impact on worker safety. ● There are no anticipated benefits to the state’s en- vironment because this regulatory package al - lowing the assignment of a licensed crematory has no impact on the state’s environment.

Effect on Small Business: The proposed regulations may affect small business. INITIAL STATEMENT OF REASONS AND INFORMATION The Bureau has prepared an initial statement of the reasons for the proposed action and has available all the information upon which the proposal is based.

The first two Project sites are located on Cahto Creek and are further distinguished by landowner names: Hogan and Mueller. The Hogan site begins approximately 300 feet downstream of the Mulligan Lane bridge and ends approximately 1,280 feet upstream from the Tenmile Creek confluence at 39.678 latitude, –123.486 longi - tude. The Mueller site begins approximately 850 feet downstream of the Mulligan Lane bridge and extends approximately 750 feet upstream of the confluence with Tenmile Creek at 39.677 latitude, –123.487 longi- tude.

The Streeter Creek site is located approximately 500 feet upstream of the Tenmile Creek confluence at 39.745 latitude, –123.529 longitude. Habitat modifications at the Hogan site on Cahto Creek include strategic floodplain grading, recontour- ing an eroded bank at a 2:1 slope, installing one large wood and boulder bioengineered coir lift structure, and creating three large wood and boulder deflector structures.

A total of 3,620 square feet of stream bed will be occupied by boulder deflectors which will be anchored to prevent additional erosion along the bank and create deeper pools suitable for salmonid holding and rearing. Overall, 29 pieces of large wood will be incorporated into the large wood and boulder struc - tures in Cahto Creek. Willows (Salix spp.) and cotton- woods ( Populus trichocarpa ) will be planted in the coir lifts and boulder deflectors to provide additional stability for the streambank and shade cover.

A por - tion of stream aggregate will be extracted to remove Himalayan blackberry which will be restored with na- tive riparian vegetation. Up to 8,000 square feet of stream bed will be traversed by equipment at this site. Habitat modifications at the Mueller site on Cahto Creek include building two boulder wing deflectors at the top and bottom of the site reach and a willow coir lift anchored by a log with rootwad. Approximately 200 cubic yards of gravel will be extracted from the bed to supply aggregate for the deflectors and willow lifts.

A ten foot wide ramp cut into the bank will be used for equipment access. The entire 135–foot site reach will be dewatered during these project activities and up to 5,400 square feet of stream bed will be tra - versed by equipment. After construction, the bare soil will be revegetated with native riparian vegetation. Upon completion of the Project, the stream bed at this site will have an estimated 4,120 square feet of cover from finished boulder deflectors and the willow lift.

Streeter Creek site habitat modifications include floodplain grading, recontouring an eroded bank at a 2:1 slope, installing and reinforcing boulder deflec - tors, and installing large wood and boulder bioengi - neered coir lift structures. A total of 16 pieces of large wood and 118 tons of boulders will be used for con - structing these structures in Streeter Creek. A total of 160 cubic yards of aggregate will be extracted from the gravel bar and used to build the deflectors and coir lifts. Willows will be planted in the coir lifts to pro - vide additional stability for the streambank.

Access to this site will include the construction of a ten–foot–

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 27–Z 852 wide ramp within the area where the willow lifts will be constructed. The ramp will be deconstructed af - ter completion of the Project and bare ground will be seeded with native riparian vegetation. The Project activities described above are expect - ed to incidentally take 1 coho salmon ( Oncorhynchus kisutch) of the Southern Oregon–Northern California Coast evolutionary significant unit (SONCC coho salmon) where those activities take place within the bed, bank, and channel of Cahto and Streeter Creeks.

In particular, SONCC coho salmon could be taken as a result of the temporary stream diversion and dewater - ing and during fish relocation as part of the implemen- tation of the Project activities listed above. SONCC coho salmon is designated as a threatened species pur- suant to the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) (16 U.S.C. § 1531 et seq.) and the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) (Fish & Game Code, § 2050 et seq.). (See Cal. Code Regs., title 14, § 670.5, subdivi- sion (b) (2) (D).) SONCC coho salmon are present in the Tenmile Creek Watershed.

Because of possible occurrenc - es of coho salmon, the known dispersal patterns of SONCC coho salmon, and the presence of suitable SONCC coho salmon habitat within the Project site, the National Marine Fisheries Service (Service) deter- mined that SONCC coho salmon is reasonably certain to occur within the Project site and that Project ac - tivities are expected to result in the incidental take of SONCC coho salmon. Because the Project is expected to result in take of a species designated as threatened under the federal ESA, the Army Corps of Engineers consulted with the Service as required by the federal ESA.

On May 16, 2024, the Service issued a biological opinion (Service file Number WCRO–2024–00795) (BO) to the Army Corps of Engineers. The BO describes the Project, re- quires the Applicant to comply with terms of the BO and its incidental take statement (ITS), and incorpo - rates additional measures. On May 23, 2024, the Director of the Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) received a notice from the Applicant requesting a determination pursuant to Fish and Game Code

section 2080.1 that the ITS, along with its accompanying BO, is consistent with CESA for purposes of the Project and SONCC coho salmon. (Cal. Reg. Notice Register 2024 Number 23–Z, page 764.) 1 Pursuant to Fish and Game Code

section 86, “ ‘Take’ means hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill, or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill.” See also Environmental Protection In - formation Center v. California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (2008) 44 Cal.4th 459, 507 (for purposes of incidental take permitting under Fish and Game Code

section 2081, subdivi- sion (b), “ ‘take’…means to catch, capture or kill”). Determination Pursuant to Fish and Game Code

section 2080.1, CDFW has determined that the ITS, along with its ac- companying BO, is consistent with CESA, Fish and Game Code

Chapter 1.5, as to the Project and SONCC coho salmon. This determination is based on mea - sures in the ITS, along with its accompanying BO, in- cluding, but not limited to, the following: Avoidance and Minimization Measures 1) The Project will take place during summer months when streams may be dry and salmonids are not likely to be present.

If wetted, Project ac - tivities, including dewatering and fish relocation, within the wetted stream shall be limited to the period between June 15 and October 15. 2) Fish relocation and dewatering activities shall be performed by a qualified fisheries biologist. 3) Staging/storage areas for equipment, materials, fuels, lubricants, and solvents will be located out- side of the stream’s high–water channel and as - sociated riparian area where they cannot enter the stream channel.

Stationary equipment such as motors, pumps, generators, compressors, and welders located within the dry portion of the stream channel or adjacent to the stream will be positioned over drip–pans. Vehicles will be moved out of the normal high–water area of the stream prior to refueling and lubricating.

Prior to the onset of work, the Applicant shall prepare a plan to allow a prompt and effective response to any accidental spills. 4) The amount of wetted stream channel that is de - watered at each individual Project site shall be minimized to the fullest extent possible. 5) Any work within the stream channel shall be per- formed in isolation from the flowing stream and erosion protection measures shall be in place be - fore work begins. 6) If there is any flow during construction activi - ties, cofferdams will be constructed upstream and downstream of the excavation site and all flow diverted from upstream of the upstream dam to downstream of the downstream dam. 7) No heavy equipment shall operate in the live stream, except as may be necessary to construct cofferdams to divert stream flow and isolate the work site. 8) Cofferdams may be constructed with clean river run gravel or sandbags and may be sealed with sheet plastic.

Upon Project completion, sand - bags and any sheet plastic shall be removed from the stream. Clean river run gravel may be left in the stream channel, provided it does not impede stream flow or fish passage and conforms to nat -

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 27–Z 853 ural channel morphology without significant dis - turbance to natural substrate. Monitoring and Reporting Measures 1) The Project will be monitored by the Applicant with the assistance of BioEngineering Associ - ates for a minimum of five years. The geomor - phic stability of the project will be monitored for 100 feet upstream and downstream. Photo– documentation of the vegetation growth taken from marked photo points will be performed an - nually and will be submitted to the permitting agencies in the form of an annual report.

CDFW requests that the Applicant provide a copy of this annual report to CDFW for every year that the Applicant prepares or has prepared on its behalf such annual report. 2) The Project will be irrigated until all plantings are well established, likely a minimum of two growing seasons. A temporary irrigation system will be installed with water provided by the land- owners.

Performance criteria for the Project in - clude: minimum 85 percent survival of woody plantings above the summer water level after five years following no irrigation for two years and no observed signs of erosion or sedimentation that threatens habitat quality or property. 3) Any salmonid or steelhead mortalities must be retained, placed in an appropriately sized sealed bag, labeled with the date and time of collec - tion, fork length, location of capture, and frozen as soon as possible.

Frozen samples must be re - tained until specific instructions are provided by the Service. 4) The Applicant will prepare an implementation monitoring report and submit to the Service by letter or email within 30 days after project completion. Pursuant to Fish and Game Code

section 2080.1, take authorization under CESA is not required for the Project for take of SONCC coho salmon, provided the Applicant implements the Project as described in the ITS, along with its accompanying BO, including ad - herence to all measures contained therein.

If there are any substantive changes to the Project, including changes to the measures, or if the Service amends or replaces the ITS or BO, the Applicant shall be required to obtain a new consistency determination or a CESA take permit for the Project from CDFW. (See generally Fish & Game Code, §§ 2080.1, 2081.) CDFW’s determination that the ITS, along with its accompanying BO, is consistent with CESA is limited to SONCC coho salmon.
