Bishop Intake No. 2 Service Spillway Project

The Bishop Intake No. 2 Service Spillway Project is a maintenance effort managed by the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Water Rights, and the Southern California Edison Company. Located at Intake No. 2 Dam on Middle Fork Bishop Creek in Inyo County, approximately 16 miles from Bishop, California, the project is classified under NAICS code 238110. The scope of work involves the resurfacing and repair of approximately 0.08 acres of the concrete spillway surface, the repair of an 8 foot by 8 foot by 3 foot concrete gap at the base of the spillway, and the removal of roughly 15 cubic yards of deadfall located below the spillway. This project is designated as a categorical exemption under Section 15301 as it consists solely of the repair and maintenance of existing facilities with no expansion of use. Administrative oversight is provided by Water Resources Control Engineer Annabelle Long and Program Manager Parker Thaler. The project was forecasted on December 16, 2025, following a Notice of Exemption issued on December 12, 2025.
