Martindale Mines Road Stream Crossing and Well Abandonment/Remediation Project (Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-ALA-58605-R3)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized David Martindale to undertake two environmental remediation encroachments at 23250 Mines Road in Livermore, California, under Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-ALA-58605-R3, issued pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The first encroachment involves the complete abandonment of an existing well, requiring removal of all associated components including the impoundment, pump, water pipe, and debris, followed by proper sealing with grout, backfilling to native grade with compacted material, and capping to match existing conditions in accordance with state and county abandonment guidelines. The second encroachment entails installation of a low water crossing at the access road, involving removal of approximately 160 square feet of fill from the streambed, off-site disposal of the material, and placement of gradated river rocks to stabilize the channel, reduce scour erosion, and restore natural hydrologic function. These actions are part of a remediation effort tied to prior cannabis cultivation activities that resulted in a Notice of Violation, and the project qualifies for a CEQA categorical exemption under Title 19, Section 15304(c). All work is subject to inspection and acceptance by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife at the project site, with final approval contingent on compliance with state standards for well abandonment and streambed restoration. The project is not a federal procurement and does not involve competitive bidding, contract pricing, federal acquisition regulations, or financial terms; it is a regulatory authorization administered directly by the state agency. The point of contact for oversight is Kari Gahan, Senior Environmental Scientist at Region 3 - Bay Delta, with no set-aside, socioeconomic certifications, or federal contract clauses applicable. The place of performance is clearly defined by the assessor’s parcel numbers and geographic location within the upper Arroyo Mocho watershed, and no delivery, packaging, invoicing, or payment details are included as this is not a procurement action.
