O’Connor Stream Crossings Project (Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS TRI-56519-R1)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-TRI-56519-R1 to Sean O’Connor under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, authorizing the decommissioning of four road stream crossings within the Trinity River watershed in Trinity County, California. The work involves excavating road fill to restore the natural streambed grade and orientation, relocating or removing fill material to stable upland or off-site locations, and hydrologically disconnecting adjacent road segments to prevent road runoff from impacting restored channels. Erosion control measures, including mulching, seeding, and revegetation of disturbed soils, are required to minimize sediment delivery to state waters. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under Title 14, Section 15333 of the California Code of Regulations due to its minimal environmental impact and absence of significant effects on endangered species or hazardous materials. The approval was executed on October 20, 2025, and the work is to be performed at a specific location in Section 36, T7N, R5E, Humboldt Base and Meridian, with the Assessor’s Parcel Number 008-010-018. This is not a federal procurement contract, and therefore no Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, pricing details, payment terms, or competitive evaluation criteria apply. The agreement serves as a regulatory permit to modify streambeds in compliance with state environmental law, not a funded procurement with line-item costs, delivery schedules, or contracting officer oversight. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, through its Northern Region office in Redding and Eureka, acts as the regulatory authority responsible for oversight and acceptance of compliance with the approved conditions. Kalyn Bocast, Senior Environmental Scientist Specialist, is the designated point of contact for the agency. No funding, invoicing, or accounting data is provided, and no socioeconomic certifications, unique entity identifiers, or procurement-related representations are required or included. The project is a site-specific environmental mitigation effort governed solely by state statutory and regulatory requirements, with no competitive bidding or federal acquisition procedures involved.
