Bear Creek Diversion Debris Removal (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. CAL-62386-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized a streambed alteration project under EPIMS Notification No. CAL-62386-R2 to allow the Calaveras County Water District, represented by Damon Wyckoff, to remove approximately 400 cubic yards of sediment and debris—including tree stumps, snags, and branches—from the upper reach of Bear Creek upstream of the diversion intake. The work will be conducted under the authority of Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code and is exempt from full environmental review under CEQA categorical exemptions for maintenance of existing facilities and minor land alterations. To enable safe and effective debris removal, the permittee may install a temporary coffer dam and associated piping to divert streamflow during active work, ensuring minimal disruption to aquatic resources. The project location is situated in Calaveras County, California, near West Point, with performance conducted directly at the streambed site. Environmental oversight is managed by the CDFW’s Region 2 office in Rancho Cordova, with Hailey Donaldson serving as the primary environmental contact. While the project is explicitly tied to regulatory compliance and habitat protection, no formal federal procurement contract structure is established, and no pricing, payment, invoicing, contract type, or procurement evaluation details are included. There are no federally mandated FAR clauses, cost estimates, delivery schedules, bonding requirements, or subcontracting provisions identified. The absence of conventional contract elements like CLINs, payment offices, or acquisition codes reflects its nature as a regulatory permit notification rather than a traditional procurement action. No representations, certifications, socioeconomic status claims, or UEI/CAGE codes were submitted or required, and submission protocols remain informal, with no specified deadline, electronic portal, or formal proposal format mandated.
