Culvert Reroute at 155 Rainbow St. (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-MOO-62328-R6)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, EPIMS-MOO-62328-R6, to Craig Rufi for the realignment of a culvert at 155 Rainbow St. in June Lake, California, to eliminate water flow beneath a residential structure. The project involves redirecting the natural flow of an unnamed tributary to Reversed Creek through a new culvert alignment that runs perpendicular to the property line and then follows the roadside boundary, maintaining connectivity with the existing inlet and outlet. Both the inlet and outlet structures will be stabilized with a total of 20 square feet of rock slope protection to prevent erosion and ensure long-term integrity. The work is classified as a minor land alteration under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15304, qualifying for a categorical exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act. As a state-level environmental notice rather than a federal procurement, no Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses apply, and no contract value, pricing, payment, or invoicing details are included. The project is not subject to competitive bidding or formal evaluation factors, and no socioeconomic certifications, entity identifiers, or delivery schedules are provided. Responsibility for compliance and execution rests with Craig Rufi, while inspection and acceptance oversight is conducted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife through its Environmental Scientist Dana Scott and Environmental Program Manager Alisa Ellsworth, who serve as the primary agency contacts. The project is tracked through the EPIMS system, and notification was issued on January 12, 2026, with all activity confined to the specified location in Mono County.
