2023 FEMA 4683 Storm Damage – 2023 FEMA Storm Damage Downstream Dam Bank Repair Project (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. AMA- 61174-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized streambed alteration activities under EPIMS Notification No. AMA-61174-R2 to the Jackson Valley Irrigation District for emergency restoration work along Jackson Creek in Amador County, following severe storm damage in January 2023. The project involves stabilizing 260 linear feet of the south bank using engineered fill and quarry rock, installing two drainpipes to manage water flow, and removing 680 cubic yards of accumulated sediment to reduce erosion and restore natural channel function. This effort is conducted under the authority of Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code and is exempt from full environmental review under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15301, as a minor alteration to an existing facility. The work is being performed at the Jackson Valley Irrigation District’s site located at 6755 Lake Amador Drive in Ione, California, with oversight provided by the CDFW’s Region 2 office in Rancho Cordova. No formal contract value, pricing structure, payment details, or federal procurement clauses are included, as this is an environmental notification and not a federally funded or FAR-governed procurement. The applicant, Jackson Valley Irrigation District, is responsible for execution of the work, while the California Department of Fish and Wildlife retains regulatory authority and accepts performance at the project site. Key contacts include Will Kanz, Environmental Scientist at CDFW, and Steven Frederick of the Irrigation District, with no formal contracting officer, COTR, or federal representation requirements identified. No solicitation, evaluation factors, delivery schedules, or invoice instructions are applicable, as the document serves as a regulatory approval rather than a competitive procurement.
