Hetfield Estates Subdivision

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has approved the Hetfield Estates Residential Subdivision project through a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement, authorizing the installation of an arched culvert bridge and two armored stormwater outfalls along Larch Creek in Moraga, California. The project involves temporary disturbance of 3,006 square feet of riparian habitat and permanent loss of 1,133 square feet due to the construction of steel-pier abutments with concrete foundations and rock slope protection at the outfalls. Thirteen native riparian trees will be removed, with mitigation required through revegetation of disturbed areas and the installation of native plantings to offset habitat impacts. The work is subject to compliance with the Fish and Game Code Section 1602 and CEQA regulations, with oversight and acceptance responsibilities held by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife as the responsible agency. The Town of Moraga serves as the lead agency, and environmental documentation including the Final Environmental Impact Report and a Mitigation Monitoring Plan are associated with the approval. The agreement, issued on August 27, 2025, and publicly posted on September 26, 2025, does not include financial terms, contract value, or federal acquisition regulations, as it is a state-level environmental permit rather than a procurement contract. No federal FAR clauses, invoicing systems, payment details, or procurement evaluation factors are applicable or present. The project location is in Contra Costa County near Assessor’s Parcel Number 258-600-006-0, and enforcement and compliance monitoring fall under the jurisdiction of CDFW, with contact provided through Environmental Program Manager Torrey Soland and Lead Agency Contact Brian Horn. The applicant, Sridhar Pillarisetty, is responsible for executing the approved work within the defined environmental constraints, and no socioeconomic certifications, unique entity identifiers, or federal contracting requirements are referenced in the documentation.
