Huntington Lake Dam No. 1 Low-Level Outlet Valves Replacement Project (Amendment No. 2 to Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMSFRE-31312-R4)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has amended Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement Notification No. EPIMS-FRE-31312-R4 to authorize Southern California Edison Company to perform repairs and replacements on key components of the low-level outlet valve system at Big Creek Dam No. 1, located on the southwest side of Huntington Lake in Fresno County. This Amendment No. 2 specifically revises the location and configuration of Work Area 4’s temporary landing site to ensure safe and environmentally compliant access during project execution. The activity is conducted under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code and qualifies for a Class 1 categorical exemption under CEQA, as it involves minor alterations to existing infrastructure with no significant environmental impact. The project is administratively managed through the Department’s Region 4 office in Fresno, with oversight responsibilities shared between Southern California Edison as the executing entity and the Department’s environmental staff, including Benessa Galvan as the primary contact for environmental compliance. No detailed pricing, contract value, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are included in the documentation, as this is a state-level environmental authorization rather than a federally procured contract. Performance is confined to the dam site, with no specified delivery schedule, payment terms, or invoicing mechanisms documented. The responsible parties include Hazem Gabr as the project manager for Southern California Edison and Benessa Galvan as the senior environmental scientist for the Department, though official roles such as COR or PCO are not formally designated in the notice. No representations, certifications, socioeconomic status claims, or unique entity identifiers are provided, and the submission process remains undocumented beyond the contact points listed for coordination and compliance communication.
