Medical Marijuana Land Use Ordinance – Phase IV

The project involves four encroachments in Humboldt County, California, authorized under the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-HUM-61866-R1C, pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 1602. The work includes repairing and decommissioning an access road failure, upgrading two existing stream crossings—one from a natural unimproved fill to an armored fill crossing and the other replacing a 36-inch culvert with a minimum 48-inch culvert—and decommissioning a failing small pond with an eroding impoundment berm. Activities encompass excavation, removal of outdated structures, installation of properly sized culverts, backfilling and compaction, and rock armoring using riprap with a mean diameter of 0.9 feet to prevent erosion and stabilize slopes at 2:1 or 3:1 gradients. All work aims to restore natural hydrologic connectivity, minimize sedimentation, and comply with environmental standards under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15096, as documented through a Mitigated Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act. The total earth disturbance across all sites is limited to 5.8 to 23 cubic yards, with vegetative restoration required for disturbed areas and specific channel dimensions such as 5-foot width and 2.5-foot depth to be achieved where applicable. The project is administered by the County of Humboldt as the Lead Agency under CEQA, with oversight and permitting responsibilities held by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Primary points of contact include Steven Lazar of the Humboldt County Planning and Building Department and Joshua Gruver and Corrina Kamoroff of CDFW’s Northern Region, who manage environmental compliance, inspection, and approval processes. Though the project is referenced under a title related to a Medical Marijuana Land Use Ordinance Phase IV, the substance reflects infrastructure and ecological restoration activities, not cannabis cultivation or zoning enforcement. No federal contracting elements such as FAR clauses, solicitation numbers beyond PLN-12935-SP, contract type, pricing, evaluation factors, payment details, or offeror certifications are present. The place of performance is clearly defined within Humboldt County, with specific project locations tied to legal land descriptions and watersheds such as Bug Creek and the South Fork Eel River. Approval of the project was contingent upon compliance with CEQA conditions, and formal acceptance rests with Humboldt County and CDFW, with records maintained
