The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized the replacement of an existing timber bridge along Dry Creek Road with a reinforced concrete pipe culvert under Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification Number SJN-65427-R2, issued to Jeff Verstl of the San Joaquin Council of Governments. This project is regulated under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code and involves minimal excavation of the creek bed and banks to install a new crossing structure that will consist of three parallel rows of 60-inch-diameter reinforced concrete pipes, each approximately 32 feet long and constructed from 8-foot pipe segments. The intent is to improve structural integrity while reducing environmental impact compared to the current timber bridge. The project is forecasted with a posted date of July 1, 2026, and is managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 2 - Northern Central, based in Rancho Cordova. Point of contact for the applicant is Jeff Verstl, reachable via email and phone, while Hailey Donaldson, an Environmental Scientist at CDFW, serves as the primary contact for regulatory matters. The work is located in California, with no specific city or zipcode provided, and is documented under the EPIMS system with a public link for project tracking. No procurement or bidding details are indicated, as this notification pertains to an environmental compliance agreement rather than a solicitation for services.
