Jackisch Water Diversion and Reservoir Spillway Improvements Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-MEN-32979-R1C)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized Scott Jackisch to proceed with two water diversion activities and associated infrastructure improvements under Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-MEN-32979-R1C, issued pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The project involves diverting water from a horizontal well spring for domestic use and from an onstream pond reservoir for domestic use and irrigation, both under the terms of Small Domestic Use Registration D033333. Work includes operation and maintenance of the water diversion systems and modifications necessary to remain in compliance with the agreement. Additionally, the project requires excavation and removal of a 24-inch culvert, installation of a redesigned spillway with appropriately sized rock and armoring to control erosion, and installation of a bypass system to safely discharge water downstream. All work is limited to maintaining existing use levels and does not expand the scope or intensity of prior operations, qualifying the project for a Class 1 categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act. The project is located approximately 6.65 miles northwest of Willits in Mendocino County, with all activities performed on-site and subject to state environmental oversight. The permittee, Scott Jackisch, is responsible for executing the work in accordance with the approved conditions and ensuring all upgrades meet engineering standards to prevent downstream erosion, with the armoring extending below a footbridge to protect channel stability. Regulatory oversight is managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 1, with Jessica Ryan serving as the primary environmental scientist contact for coordination and compliance verification. No federal contracting elements are present; the document is a state-level environmental permit notification, not a procurement contract, with no pricing, payment terms, contract type, or federal acquisition regulation clauses applicable. There are no specified performance timelines, delivery schedules, invoicing procedures, or award evaluation criteria, as this is a regulatory approval rather than a competitive procurement. The only identifiers provided are the EPIMS notification number and SDU registration, both of which govern the legal basis for the activity. No UEI, CAGE codes, socioeconomic certifications, or defense standards are relevant or required, and the project falls entirely within the jurisdiction of state environmental and water rights regulations.
