Assistance for Monitoring and Management Plan Implementation

The contract aims to implement at least forty-five approved Management Practice Plans within the Ventura River, Santa Clara River, and Calleguas Creek watersheds to reduce pesticide and nutrient runoff and leaching, aligning with established Total Maximum Daily Loads and the 2023 Ag Order for discharges from irrigated lands. These plans focus on sediment, nutrient, and irrigation management practices designed to improve water quality and comply with regional water board requirements. The efforts are targeted at agricultural and irrigated lands in these watersheds to mitigate impacts from nonpoint source pollution. The project is managed by the Ventura County Resource Conservation District in California, with primary contact points including Alexander Vaca, Johnagustin Zecua, and Jamie Whiteford, who oversee monitoring, implementation, and grant coordination. Although the solicitation is listed as a forecast with no formal solicitation number or set-aside designation, the initiative is scheduled to be publicly available as of July 2, 2026, and will require participation from landowners and agricultural operators in the specified watersheds to achieve documented compliance and environmental outcomes.
