Cameron Creek Linear Recharge Project

The City of Visalia, through Project Manager Rebecca Keenan, has been authorized by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to construct and operate three reinforced concrete check structures along Cameron Creek in Fresno County to support groundwater recharge efforts. This authorization is formalized under Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-TUL-57209-R4, issued pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 1602, and is conditioned on strict adherence to environmental mitigation measures, including a approved Mitigation Reporting or Monitoring Plan. The project is located at three specific sites along the creek—Measurement Check, Rector Check, and Lovers Check—identified by precise geographic coordinates and Assessor’s Parcel Numbers, and involves the installation of control gates and weir boards to impound and divert creek water into adjacent basins for recharge. No federal acquisition contract elements are present; the document is a state environmental permit, not a procurement contract, and thus contains no FAR clauses, pricing data, delivery schedules, invoicing instructions, or formal contract types. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife serves as the permitting authority and responsible agency, while the City of Visalia is the project applicant and implementer. Although the agreement was approved on October 27, 2025, and publicly posted as a forecast on November 21, 2025, no performance timelines, contract values, payment details, or award evaluation criteria are specified. The project received a Mitigated Negative Declaration under CEQA, confirming no significant environmental impact, and compliance with California Code of Regulations Section 15096 is required. Key contacts include Rebecca Keenan for the City of Visalia and Jackson Powell and Julie A. Vance from CDFW, though no formal contracting officer, COR, or COTR roles are assigned. No UEI, CAGE code, socioeconomic certifications, or federal contract representations are included, as the document operates entirely within the scope of state environmental regulation.
