Buckley Cove Maintenance Dredging Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-SJN-56264-R3)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized the City of Stockton to conduct maintenance dredging at Buckley Cove within Tennile Slough under Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-SJN-56264-R3, issued pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The work is limited to the navigation channel leading into the marina, all fairways, the area between floats at the boat launch, and as far into berths as equipment can reach, with the sole objective of preserving existing depths and ensuring safe navigation. Dredged material will be transported by barge to one of two approved off-site disposal locations: the Roberts Island Dredged Material Placement Site or the Montezuma Wetlands Restoration Project. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14 Section 15304 as a minor alteration to an existing facility with negligible environmental impact, ensuring compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. No formal contract value, pricing details, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are included, as this is an environmental notification and permit action rather than a competitive procurement. The project is classified as a forecast with no solicitation number or award basis established. The City of Stockton is identified as the responsible party carrying out the work, with Madison Lozada as the point of contact. Oversight and regulatory approval rest with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 3 – Bay Delta, headquartered in Fairfield, under the supervision of Sanjay Das, Senior Environmental Scientist. There are no designated Contracting Officer’s Representatives, Procuring Contracting Officers, or formal COR/COTR assignments listed in the documentation. Inspection and acceptance are expected to occur at the dredging site in Stockton or through administrative review by CDFW, with compliance verified against the permit conditions and environmental exemption criteria. No payment instructions, invoicing methods, accounting codes, packaging requirements, or evaluation factors are provided, underscoring the non-acquisition nature of this document. The project does not involve federal contracting mechanisms, and no Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications are required or included. The work must proceed strictly within the permitted boundaries and disposal locations without expanding infrastructure or altering ecological functions, adhering solely to state environmental and waterway regulations.
