9:43 pm
million, if it is ever finished. >> at this point they're not in compliance with their permit conditions. >> that permit from the army corps of engineers is supposed to protect the environment, and caltrans needs it to keep ing to get the opportunity before suspending the permit but it is approaching the point now. >> caltrans is filling at least 60 acres of wetlands, considered critical to the eco system. there are 100-year-old trees, endangered plants and trees. caltrans is supposed to restore 2,000 acres of wetlands and creeks, damaged by past human activity. but while there is construction on the freeways, caltrans has missed deadly after deadny -- deadline after deadline on the environmental plan. >> they bully, they drag their
9:44 pm
feet, they are not doing what the agency asks them to do. >> one spokesperson disputes that. >> we'll follow any requirements by our permitting agencies. >> he showed us stream beds where caltrans is working to improve fish habitat. but there is just a fraction of what is required. >> this is a very complex project. >> and expensive, caltrans spent 16 million to buy land for the improvements. now they need a contractor to do the work. they just took bids, estimating it would cost another 13 million. they were way off. >> it came in at 39 million. >> that is $26 million more than expected. and caltrans doesn't have the money. so now they're taking another look at the bids. >> maybe there is a misunderstanding in the specifics. >> but $26 million is a lot of tweaking, especially when caltrans is facing problems with another part of its
9:45 pm
environmental plan, caltrans was spent 40 pages of questions and concerns, back in 2006. all of this is happening against a back drop of constant protests and a divided community. highway 101 is the major route north from san francisco to yreka, but traffic often backs up, the mendocino county supports the plan. >> this is good for the public and people who come up here on the weekends or vacations. >> but over the past 20 years, traffic in the area has been flat or down. environmental groups are asking the government to intervene and scale back to a two-lane freeway. >> and save money, not only save wetlands, save money. >> caltrans insists it is too late to go back. >> most of the impacts for the full four lane have already occurred by this point. >> but as barren as this looks,
9:46 pm
the army corps of engineers says if caltrans does cut the size of the freeway it is still possible to bring back some of the wetlands. >> we need to go out and do an actual inspection of the wetlands to do this, but there is a decent chance of success. >> now, there was a meeting about the project weeks ago before caltrans came up $26 million short on funding for the environmental plan. the governor's office did not return our call ask whether he will consider intervening on this. we'll stay on the when our little girl was born,
