BAPP Intake Road AB Placement (OM-DFD-2026-008)

Department of Water Resources staff will perform routine maintenance on the dirt access road running parallel to the California Aqueduct between Byron Highway and the Headworks at Christensen Road, specifically at the Banks Pumping Plant intake channel. The work follows annual standard procedures and includes grading the road surface followed by the placement of aggregate base material across the full width of the road. After the rock material is distributed, a smooth drum roller will be used to properly compact the surface, ensuring a stable and safe access route. All staging and operations will be confined within the Department of Water Resources right-of-way to minimize environmental and operational disruptions. The contract is formally identified as BAPP Intake Road AB Placement OM-DFD-2026-008 and was posted as a forecast on May 29, 2026, with primary points of contact being Environmental Scientist Janine Beck and Environmental Program Manager Sara Lowry, both reachable through the California Water Resources Department.
