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 Huntington Lake Dam No. 1 Low-Level Outlet Valves Replacement Project involves the repair and replacement of critical components within the low-level outlet valve system at Big Creek Dam No. 1. This specific action, identified as Amendment No. 2 to Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration No. EPIMS-FRE-31312-R4, was issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to the Southern California Edison Company pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The primary purpose of this amendment is to modify the location and configuration of the Work Area 4 temporary landing site. The project is categorized as a maintenance activity for an existing public utility facility with no expansion of use and is considered categorically exempt under California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15301, Class 1, due to the lack of significant environmental impacts. The work is located in Fresno County, California, specifically on the southwest side of Huntington Lake at Big Creek Dam No. 1. The site is situated approximately three miles northeast of the town of Big Creek and 65 miles northeast of the City of Fresno, identified by geographic coordinates Latitude 37.234194, Longitude -119.212944. While the documentation serves as a regulatory Notice of Exemption rather than a procurement contract, it establishes the legal authorization for the specified site modifications. Detailed project management is overseen by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 4, with primary contact points including a Senior Environmental Scientist and a Project Manager.
