Enforcement No. 2024-15436 – Affirm the Cease and Desist Order issued to Bakshinder Thiara on February 2, 2026

The Central Valley Flood Protection Board is affirming a Cease and Desist Order issued on February 2, 2026, against Bakshinder Thiara, requiring the development and implementation of a detailed Compliance Plan and Schedule to address and remedy identified violations. This enforcement action is aimed at ensuring adherence to regulatory standards and correcting noncompliance through a structured, time-bound approach. The matter is being managed under Enforcement No. 2024-15436, with primary oversight handled by Jennifer Calles, Senior Environmental Scientist, who serves as the point of contact for all inquiries related to this matter. The enforcement initiative is specific to activities in California, with no indication of federal funding or set-aside provisions, and is being processed under the board’s authority to ensure environmental and operational compliance. The Compliance Plan must outline clear remediation steps, timelines, and accountability measures to resolve the violations cited in the original order. All communications and documentation regarding this enforcement action should be directed to Jennifer Calles at the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, and no solicitation or procurement process is involved, as this is an administrative enforcement matter rather than a contracting opportunity.
