Camp Far West Auxiliary Spillway Expansion Project

The South Sutter Water District is proceeding with an amendment to the water quality certification for the Camp Far West Hydroelectric Project on the Bear River in Yuba County, California, to update two key environmental conditions: Condition 2(D) regarding the Evaluation of Flows and Condition 16 concerning the Auxiliary Spillway Project. The existing 6.8-megawatt facility includes Camp Far West Reservoir, dam, spillway, intake tower, powerhouse, switchyard, and two recreation areas. The amendment, approved by the State Water Resources Control Board on October 22, 2025, and publicly posted on October 24, 2025, is tied to the State Clearinghouse Number 2018092009 and incorporates revisions from SCH No. 2021100570 and SCH No. 2018092009 to align the project’s operations with updated environmental flow standards and spillway performance requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act. The project is not governed by federal procurement regulations, and no FAR clauses, contract pricing, delivery terms, or formal acquisition documentation are present. There is no identified contract value, delivery schedule, invoicing process, or procurement-specific roles such as contracting officer representative or technical representative. Responsibility for implementation lies with the South Sutter Water District, while the State Water Resources Control Board retains authority for approval and compliance oversight. All requirements are environmental in nature, grounded in CEQA compliance, and do not include specifications for packaging, labeling, inspection standards, or contractor certifications related to size status or socioeconomic programs. The submission deadline for related environmental documents was October 22, 2025, with physical mailing addresses designated for filings, but no electronic portal or digital submission options are referenced. The amendment serves to ensure regulatory alignment and environmental protection rather than to procure goods or services under a traditional federal contract framework.
