Llamas Stream Crossings Project (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-MEN-56504-R1C)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized Miguel Llamas to upgrade a single existing culvert at a stream crossing in Mendocino County, California, under Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-MEN-56504-R1C, issued pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The project involves excavating and removing the old culvert, installing a new properly sized culvert, backfilling and compacting the surrounding soil, and applying rock armoring to mitigate erosion. A riprap energy dissipator apron will be constructed downstream of the culvert outlet using 9-inch diameter angular rock, with the apron measuring two times the pipe diameter in width and three times the diameter in length. The work is located in the Russian River watershed near Hopland, specifically at Assessor’s Parcel Number 047-310-12, with coordinates at latitude 39.0242 N and longitude 123.1269 W. The project has been determined to be categorically exempt under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Sections 15301, 15302, and 15304, eliminating the need for an Environmental Impact Report. There is no formal contract value, pricing structure, or procurement data listed, as this is an environmental authorization rather than a competitive procurement. The agreement is overseen by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Region 1 Northern Region, with John Herrera serving as the primary point of contact, acting in the capacity of Senior Environmental Scientist Specialist, and Angela Liebenberg as the supervising scientist. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, payment details, invoice procedures, contracting officer information, or evaluation criteria are applicable or present, as the document serves strictly as an environmental permit under state law. The performance location is in California, with no specified period of performance, delivery schedule, or solicitation number beyond the notification identifier EPIMS-MEN-56504-R1C. Acceptance of the work is the responsibility of the state agency, and the permittee must ensure compliance with the approved design specifications and environmental conditions to avoid significant impacts to the stream habitat.
