FLASH update railyard shoreline response action and restoration project

FLASH Liaison Update (Update #13) for the Dunsmuir Railyard Shoreline Response Action and Restoration Project:

At approximately 12:00 pm today (October 18, 2023) a turbidity (sediment temporarily suspended in the water column) plume was released outside of the in-river isolation barrier (IRIB) along the Dunsmuir Railyard into the Sacramento River due to ongoing operations to remove contaminated soil. Excavation operations were occurring along the shoreline which created turbidity in the water. Whereas turbidity is expected with the excavation work, there was an unknown breach in the IRIB causing the plume to be released. Excavation work has ceased, and crews are currently on-scene repairing the breach.

The 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) the General Rule or Common Sense Exemption.

The Housing Element is a policy document that identifies Dunsmuir’s existing and future housing needs and establishes proposed actions to facilitate the provision of housing to meet those needs at all income levels. The Housing Element describes housing needs and includes an analysis of constraints to housing production. The City has released a Public Review Draft of the 2023-2031 Housing Element that recommends goals, policies and implementation programs intended to address these housing needs and constraints, and comply with State housing law during the eight-year plan period. Public comment received to date has also been considered in the draft. The Public Review Draft of the 2023-2031 Housing Element can be read and downloaded at http://www.ci.dunsmuir.ca.us/news and https://www.siskiyou-housing.com/dunsmuir/ .A paper copy of the Public Review Draft are available for review at Dunsmuir City Hall (located at 5902 Dunsmuir Ave., Dunsmuir).

Attention Dunsmuir Fuels Mitigation Participants

Dunsmuir Fuels Mitigation Project Participants!  for those of you who agreed to participate in our Fuels Mitigation Project. 

We are required to complete archaeology field surveys as part of the CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act).  The CEQA activities have been underway with our contractor Vestra and now it’s time to begin the archeology field surveys.   These will be starting on Monday, September 25 and will continue throughout the week.  The archeological inventory for the project will be conducted by Alta Archaeological Consulting (ALTA). The survey is designed to meet the requirements of CEQA, and will include background research, Native American outreach, and field surveys. 

During the week of September 25th you might see Alta’s surveyors walking around. They will not collect any objects, will not mark anything or cut any trees.  The surveyors may take photos, measurements and digital map data of historical resources for our final report.
