Francis Creek Restoration Phase I

The Francis Creek Restoration Phase I project, managed by the Humboldt County Resource Conservation District, focuses on protecting waterways in the lower Salt River watershed. Located on private agricultural grazing land at 1660 Eugene Street in Ferndale, California, the project involves the installation of up to 10,000 feet of wildlife-friendly riparian exclusion fencing. The primary objectives are to support riparian health, reduce sediment and nutrient loads, and prevent livestock from accessing sensitive waterways. The project is classified as a forecast with a posted date of August 5, 2025, under NAICS code 237990. It is governed by a categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15304, Class 4, as it constitutes minor private alterations to land for agricultural practices. Jill Demers, the Executive Director of the Humboldt County Resource Conservation District, serves as the primary point of contact. There are no specified federal contract clauses, formal evaluation factors, or pricing details provided, as the current documentation focuses on environmental exemption and project scope rather than a competitive procurement process.
