Canevaro Ditch Rock Diversion Dam Project

The Canevaro Ditch Rock Diversion Dam Project seeks a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Region 5 – Fresno, to ensure that proposed activities comply with state water quality standards. The Permittee, Frank Anderson, requested this certification to support the construction and operation of a rock diversion dam aimed at managing water flow within the Canevaro Ditch system. The certification is based on the project details and supplemental information submitted by the applicant, which outline the scope, location, and potential environmental impacts of the proposed work. The action is administrative in nature and serves to authorize the project under state regulatory authority, subject to adherence to water quality protections. The project is located in California, with regulatory oversight provided by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Region 5, and the primary point of contact is Ernesto P. Garcia, Water Resource Control Engineer, reachable via phone or email for inquiries related to the certification process. The application was posted on July 24, 2025, and the project is tracked through the state’s CEQAnet system under the ID 2025071018. No set-aside provisions or NAICS codes are specified, indicating this is a water quality permitting action rather than a federal procurement or contracting opportunity. Compliance with California’s water quality regulations is central to the approval, and any deviation from the submitted plans may trigger further review or enforcement.
