Issue Right of Entry to Mountain Enterprises to Access and Stage Equipment at Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park

The California Department of Parks and Recreation has granted Mountain Enterprises a Right of Entry to access and utilize the overflow parking lot at Ed Z’Berg Sugar Pine Point State Park as a staging area for the Tahoe Cedars Water System Reconstruction project, which is located just outside park boundaries. This authorization permits the temporary use of park land to support critical infrastructure work by the Tahoe City Public Utilities District, ensuring efficient deployment and storage of equipment while minimizing disruption to park operations. All activities conducted under this Right of Entry must strictly adhere to applicable State and Federal environmental regulations, including the Endangered Species Act, the California Environmental Quality Act, and Section 5024 of the Public Resources Code, as well as all conditions outlined in the issued permit. The work is subject to rigorous environmental compliance protocols to protect natural resources and park integrity during the duration of the project. The agreement is managed by the Department of Parks and Recreation, with primary oversight provided by Lindsay Cline, Senior Environmental Scientist, who can be reached at 530-489-8331 or lindsay.cline@parks.ca.gov. The Right of Entry was posted on June 9, 2026, as a forecasted action under the agency’s procurement process, and while specific details regarding contract value or duration are not included, the scope is explicitly tied to the needs of the adjacent water system reconstruction effort. No set-aside designation or NAICS code is specified, indicating this is a direct authorization rather than a competitive solicitation. The location of activity is firmly within California, specifically focused on the park’s overflow parking area, and all work must be conducted in a manner that upholds the conservation mandate of the state park system.
