ACTION: Notice of Limitation on Claims for Judicial Review of Actions 
by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is issuing this notice to 
announce actions taken by Caltrans, that are final. The actions relate 
to a proposed highway project, restoration of drainage facilities and 
bridge replacement at Solstice Canyon Creek on State Route 1/Pacific

actions grant licenses, permits, and approvals for the project.

DATES: By this notice, the FHWA, on behalf of Caltrans, is advising the

provides a time period of less than 150 days for filing such a claim,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective July 1, 2007, FHWA assigned, and 
Caltrans assumed, environmental responsibilities for this project 
pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327. Notice is hereby given that Caltrans has 
taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing 
licenses, permits, and approvals for the following highway project in 
the State of California.
    Caltrans proposes a drainage restoration project at nineteen (19) 
locations on State Route 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) in the cities of Los 
Angeles, Malibu, and unincorporated areas within Los Angeles County 
(post miles 37.67 to 62.86) and Ventura County (post miles 0.00 to 
0.92). The proposed improvements include repair and rehabilitation of 
existing drainage facilities along the route to restore full 
functionality, to prevent further deterioration, and ensure proper 
drainage in an area subject to erosion. The proposed improvements also 
include the replacement of the existing bridge/culvert at Solstice 
Canyon Creek with a new bridge structure with an underlying natural 
slope creek bottom to provide improved flood water conveyance, and to 
improve hydraulic conditions to facilitate movement of the endangered 
Southern steelhead trout population in the project study area. The 
actions by the Federal agencies, and the laws under which such actions 
were taken, are described in the Final Environmental Assessment (FEA)/
Finding of No Significant impact (FONSI) for the project, issued on 
March 25, 2019, and in other documents in Caltrans' project records. 
The FEA, FONSI and other project records are available by contact 
Caltrans at the addresses provided above. The Caltrans FEA, FONSI and
