2025 Lake Madrone Water District Sediment Removal Project

The 2025 Lake Madrone Water District Sediment Removal Project involves the removal of over 42,000 cubic yards of sediment from Lake Madrone and its inlet channels—Berry Creek, Galen Creek, Moss Creek, and Fern Dell Creek—to restore the lake’s historical depth. Conducted under the authority of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, the project is classified as a maintenance activity exempt under CEQA Section 15301 and requires Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification and Section 404 authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The work will be performed using a long-reach excavator and hydraulic dredge, with all activities confined to the existing lake and inlet areas without expanding usage. The Lake Madrone Water District, represented by Tim Beers, is responsible for execution, while the Regional Water Quality Control Board provides regulatory oversight and final acceptance through certification issuance. Submission of application materials, including environmental documentation, must be in searchable PDF format and was due by August 13, 2025, with electronic delivery to the agency’s designated mailbox; files exceeding 50 MB must be shared via a secure data platform. The project is not a federally solicited contract under FAR and does not include pricing, payment terms, contracting officer details, or evaluation criteria, as it is an environmental compliance and permitting process rather than a competitive procurement. No socioeconomic set-asides, contractor representations, or contract clause requirements apply, and no formal contract type or value is specified. Inspection occurs on-site at the lake, with regulatory compliance serving as the sole acceptance criterion.
