Cantua Creek Maintenance (OM-SLFD-2026-012)

The Department of Water Resources will conduct maintenance activities along the California Aqueduct levee road near Cantua Creek, focusing on erosion repair, vegetation management, and roadway stabilization. Erosion issues will be addressed by using a bulldozer to break down, compact, and refill affected areas with native material, while grassy vegetation will be mowed and left on site. A new spoil area will be established by clearing woody vegetation with a masticator and grader, ensuring proper site preparation. Dust control will be managed through the use of a water truck to maintain optimal soil moisture levels. Gravel pads will be installed on the existing roadway near Mile Marker 133.8 to reinforce high-traffic zones and prevent further degradation. All work is confined strictly within the Department’s right of way, minimizing off-site impact and ensuring regulatory compliance. The contract, titled Cantua Creek Maintenance OM-SLFD-2026-012, was posted on August 7, 2026, and is part of routine operational maintenance under the California Department of Water Resources. Primary points of contact for the project are Environmental Scientist Janine Beck and Environmental Program Manager Sara Lowry, who can be reached via their respective phone numbers and email addresses. No solicitation number has been issued, indicating this is a forecasted activity pending formal procurement. Work will occur entirely within California, with no details provided regarding contract value or anticipated duration, though all operations are designed to be conducted efficiently and sustainably within established environmental guidelines.
