Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-SHA-56593-R1, for Timber Harvesting Plan 2-24-00173-SHA “Burney Green."

The project involves two specific stream encroachments within Shasta County, California, on Burney Creek and a tributary within the Whittington Butte Planning Watershed, authorized under Timber Harvesting Plan 2-24-00173-SHA, known as “Burney Green.” The work consists of constructing and using a Class I temporary stream crossing designated as MRP-A and upgrading an existing Class II culvert crossing designated as MRP-C, with all details outlined in the 1611 Addendum of the THP on pages 43, 44, 46, and 47, and further described in the EPIMS-SHA-5693-R1 notification. The activity is governed under a Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement, EPIMS-SHA-56593-R1, issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which serves as the Responsible Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act. Compliance with CEQA and its implementing regulations is mandatory, with CDFW adopting the environmental findings of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to ensure that all mitigation measures are fully implemented to avoid or reduce significant environmental impacts. The authorized representative for compliance is Dean Kern, Registered Forester acting on behalf of Sierra Pacific Industries, who is responsible for executing the work per the approved plan. The project has no associated federal contract clauses, procurement funding details, pricing, or traditional contract type designations like FFP or IDIQ, as it is a state environmental permitting agreement rather than a federal acquisition. No contract value is provided, and there are no line-item costs, invoicing systems such as WAWF or IPP, or accounting codes like TAS or AAC identified. The period of performance is not explicitly defined in terms of start and end dates, but key administrative milestones include certification of the THP on August 26, 2025, and execution of the agreement on October 17, 2025, with public posting occurring on October 24, 2025. Inspection and acceptance are conducted by CDFW, with the physical worksite located in Township 34N, Range 02E, Sections 14 and 26, using the Burney Mountain West USGS quadrangle as a reference. Submission of required documents must be made via U.S. mail to CDFW’s Sacramento offices, with inquiries directed to Senior Environmental Scientist Andrew Yarusso. The agreement does
