Feral Water Diversion Project (Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-HUM-60736- R1C)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has approved a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement for Dave Feral under number EPIMS-HUM-60736-R1C to authorize a single water diversion from an unnamed tributary to Black Creek in Humboldt County, California, within the Maple Creek-Mad River watershed. The diversion is limited to irrigation for a revegetation and ecological restoration project and involves only the use and maintenance of existing infrastructure without any expansion, modification, or new construction. The project is exempt from environmental review under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15301 and 15302, which categorically exclude minor alterations and maintenance activities that cause no significant environmental impact. Legal authority for the agreement stems from Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, and the project operates under strict compliance conditions requiring no adverse effects on endangered species, habitats, or hazardous materials. The point of diversion is precisely located at latitude 40.7453° N and longitude 123.9474° W, with the place of performance confined to this immediate area and the associated restoration site. The agreement was signed on November 17, 2025, and is administered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Northern Region based in Eureka, with Joshua Gruver serving as the primary environmental contact. No federal acquisition regulations (FAR), contract pricing, payment details, delivery schedules, or procurement-specific clauses are applicable or included, as this is a state environmental permitting instrument rather than a federal contract. There is no contract value listed, no solicitation number, no subcontracting or socioeconomic certifications, and no requirements for unique entity identifiers, COR/COTR designations, or invoicing procedures. The documentation lacks formal sections for evaluations, representations, packaging, or special requirements as defined under federal procurement standards, reflecting its narrow scope as a state-level environmental compliance authorization. All activities must adhere strictly to the permitted scope, with inspection and acceptance conducted on-site by state authorities to confirm continued compliance with the categorical exemptions and no changes to the existing infrastructure.
