Illana Pond Spillway Improvements (Project) (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-MEN-59015-R1C)

The project involves targeted improvements to the spillway of an existing on-stream pond located approximately eight miles northwest of Willits, California, within the North Fork Noyo River watershed. Work is limited to one encroachment and consists of excavating material from the existing spillway and installing a new riprap structure measuring six feet wide by two feet deep by ten feet long, along with an eight-foot-wide velocity dissipator extending between eight and twelve feet in length. The activity is classified as minor repair and maintenance under California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15301, which provides a categorical exemption from environmental review because it does not expand the facility’s use or footprint. The project is managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 1 – Northern Region, with Penny Lancaster serving as the primary point of contact as an Environmental Scientist. No formal contract solicitation, pricing, or financial details are provided, and the document reflects a forecast notice rather than an active procurement. The place of performance is strictly defined as the pond site in Willits, with all inspection and acceptance occurring on-site under the oversight of CDFW. The work is not subject to federal acquisition regulations as no FAR clauses, contracting clauses, payment terms, or invoicing requirements are present, and the project operates under state environmental permitting authority with EPIMS-MEN-59015-R1C as the referenced alteration notification. No bids, proposals, or contractor qualifications are solicited in this document, and there are no specifications for packaging, marking, delivery terms, or socioeconomic set-asides.
