Mulqueeney Ranch Wind Repowering Project (Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-ALA-16122-R3 Amendment 1

The Mulqueeney Ranch Wind Repowering Project, executed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) for the applicant Mulqueeney Wind Energy, LLC, involves Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement Amendment 1 (EPIMS-ALA-16122-R3 Amendment 1). Pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 1602, this amendment modifies the scope of work for Activity 5 regarding the installation of New Culvert #1. The project is located in Alameda County on Patterson Pass Road, west of Midway Road and south of I-580. The CDFW approved the project on August 13, 2025, determining that it would not have a significant environmental effect within its jurisdiction, provided that specific mitigation measures are implemented. The technical scope includes the potential for temporary dewatering or diversion of water between the pond and the culvert location to dry the work area for installation. If dewatering is required, the agreement mandates the use of a screened pump to protect the stream. Administrative oversight is shared between the CDFW Bay Delta Region, represented by Environmental Scientist Marcia Grefsrud, and the Lead Agency, the County of Alameda, represented by Albert Lopez. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990.
