Cosens-Brown Timber Harvesting Plan 4-18-012-ELD Amendment #2 (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS-ELD-63025-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, acting under Section 1611 of the Fish and Game Code, has approved Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-ELD-63025-R2 for Douglas Cosens, authorizing the construction of two rocked dips on either side of a permanent Class II culvert crossing within the Cosens-Brown Timber Harvesting Plan 4-18-012-ELD Amendment #2 area. The work is located in El Dorado County, specifically in Township 9N, Range 12E, Section 14, within the Jackass Canyon and Butte Creek watersheds, and is intended to manage water flow and protect aquatic habitat during timber operations. The agreement is tied directly to the approved Timber Harvesting Plan and serves as a regulatory mitigation measure, with no formal monitoring or reporting plan required post-construction. The project is governed by California Code of Regulations Title 14 Sections 15096(i) and (f), and compliance is enforced by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which retains ultimate authority for inspection and acceptance at the site. No monetary value, pricing details, or procurement-specific clauses are included, as this is an environmental permitting action rather than a competitive federal contract. The agreement becomes effective upon execution on October 24, 2025, with the lead agency for environmental review being the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Administrative oversight and coordination are handled through the Environmental Permits and Information Management System (EPIMS), with key contacts including Carlee Cockrum of CDFW and Yanik Zuluaga of the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. No federal acquisition regulations apply, and the document contains no clauses related to packaging, invoicing, payment, contracting officer representation, socioeconomic certifications, or evaluation factors, as this is a state-level environmental compliance action and not a procurement activity.
