Diversion Dam Access Trail (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. COL-59244-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. COL-59244-R2 to Daniel Lawson for the stabilization of an existing access trail leading from the ridgeline down to the north side base of a water diversion dam on Stony Creek in Colusa County. This agreement is authorized under Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code and qualifies for a categorical exemption under Title 14, Sections 15302 and 15304 of the California Code of Regulations, which apply to minor alterations and maintenance of existing facilities. The project requires specific erosion control measures including the removal of large dirt clumps from the stream bank, reseeding of disturbed soils with native vegetation, and the installation of silt fencing and erosion control blankets above the Ordinary High-Water Mark to prevent sediment runoff and protect aquatic resources. All work is to be performed at the project site on Stony Creek near 283 Indian Springs Road, Stonyford, CA, with inspection and acceptance occurring upon completion of the field activities. The environmental scientist for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Robert Hosea, serves as the primary point of contact for oversight and compliance verification. No federal acquisition regulations apply as this is a state-level environmental regulatory agreement rather than a federal contract; therefore, there are no FAR clauses, federal contracting types, pricing data, or socioeconomic certifications included. The applicant is not required to hold a UEI or CAGE code, and no formal evaluation factors, payment terms, or delivery schedules are specified in the notification. The agreement focuses solely on ensuring compliance with state environmental laws through defined mitigation actions during and after trail stabilization.
