Hendricks Creek Maintenance (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. LAK-60839-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized Dan Stahr to conduct annual sediment removal from approximately 800 linear feet of Hendricks Creek in Lake County under Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. LAK-60839-R2, issued pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The sole purpose is to maintain the creek’s flood flow capacity by excavating accumulated sediment until the native bed substrate of 1-inch to 2-inch gravel is exposed, with a strict lifetime limitation of 250 cubic yards total removal. All in-stream work must occur only when the creek is dry, using a backhoe and dump truck, and no native vegetation, trees, or shrubs may be removed—only minimal trimming for equipment access is permitted. The removed sediment must be redistributed on adjacent upland property in locations designed to prevent any runoff into waterways. This project qualifies as a categorical exemption under CEQA Class 4 due to its minimal environmental impact and absence of disruption to healthy, mature, or scenic trees. The agreement is monitored by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 2, with Claire Bryant serving as the primary environmental point of contact, and no federal procurement clauses, pricing details, contract type, or formal evaluation factors are applicable since this is a state environmental authorization, not a federal contract. There are no specified start or end dates, payment terms, invoicing methods, or acquisition data, and the project operates under state regulatory oversight without federal contracting requirements such as UEI, size status, or FAR compliance.
