Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-MEN-60867-R1 is an environmental regulatory agreement issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for the Archer Ranch project under Timber Harvesting Plan 1-20-00028-MEN. Located in Mendocino County within the Eel River system, the project scope involves the modification of Class II and Class III watercourses at road crossings and the diversion of water from a ponded Class II watercourse. The work specifically impacts tributaries of Mud Creek, Alder Creek, Asbill Creek, and Tin Cabin Creek near Covelo. The agreement is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Public Resources Code section 21081(a) and Fish and Game Code section 711.4. A Notice of Determination was signed on July 28, 2025, confirming compliance with environmental impact considerations and mitigation measures. Administrative oversight is provided by the CDFW Northern Region office in Eureka, with key contacts including Jon Hendrix, Grace Rhoades, and Dominik Schwab. This is a regulatory permit rather than a federal procurement contract; therefore, it does not contain standard federal acquisition clauses, pricing structures, or competitive evaluation factors.
