15J9(095)_Houston Bridge Replacement (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-KIN-59409-R4)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued a Streambed Alteration Agreement under Notification No. EPIMS-KIN-59409-R4 to the County of Kings, authorizing activities related to the replacement of the Houston Bridge. The project involves the demolition of an existing bridge, removal of vegetation in the surrounding area, and the installation of a new bridge within the same alignment to maintain functional continuity. These actions are regulated under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to ensure compliance with environmental protections for surrounding waterways and ecosystems. The project is located in Hanford, California, and is managed by Kings County with primary oversight from Mitchel Cabrera, Senior Engineer, and Clint Stevens, Environmental Scientist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The agreement was posted on June 19, 2026, as a forecasted action, indicating planned future work rather than an active procurement. All work must adhere to stipulated environmental conditions to mitigate impacts on aquatic habitats and protected species, with ongoing coordination required between the county and state agencies to ensure regulatory compliance throughout construction.
