Cleanup APN 579-310-046, Cannabis Remediation (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration No. EPIMS-RIV-57025-R6)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife authorized Bao Lee to conduct environmental remediation on a 35.5-acre parcel in Riverside County under Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-RIV-57025-R6, as mandated by Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The project focuses exclusively on removing all trash, debris, and infrastructure linked to past cannabis cultivation activities, with strict adherence to Measure 2.1 prohibiting the use of heavy machinery during cleanup. The work aims to restore the site and prevent any future cultivation from impacting adjacent stream resources, particularly those flowing northwest to southeast on the property. Documentation must be submitted to confirm ongoing compliance and ensure no further cannabis operations threaten the stream ecosystem throughout the reporting period. The project qualifies for categorical exemptions under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Sections 15307 and 15308, reflecting its environmentally protective nature and minimal disturbance profile. The site, identified by Assessor’s Parcel Number 579-310-046 near Anza and adjacent to a tributary of Coyote Creek, is the sole location for all performance activities, with no delivery or shipping terms applicable. The contractor is required to implement a restoration monitoring and reporting plan, though specific timelines, performance metrics, or cost estimates are not provided, suggesting this is a regulatory authorization rather than a traditional procurement contract with defined pricing or delivery schedules. Primary oversight rests with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 6 – Inland Deserts, with Kevin Francis serving as the lead environmental scientist for coordination and compliance verification. No federal acquisition regulations, standard contract clauses, invoicing mechanisms, payment details, or socioeconomic certifications are referenced, underscoring that this is a state-level environmental compliance action governed entirely by California statutory and regulatory frameworks.
