Poplar Valley Hydrology Improvement (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. PLU-50313-R2)

The Poplar Valley Hydrology Improvement project is a regulatory approval executed as Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification Number PLU-50313-R2. Authorized by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife pursuant to section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code, the agreement grants Plumas Corporation permission to implement erosion and downcutting mitigation measures within Poplar Creek, Miller Creek, and associated unnamed drainages and tributaries in Plumas County, California. The scope of work involves the installation of 173 distinct structures, utilizing 488 cubic yards of large and small woody debris and 66 cubic yards of rocky soil to stabilize streambeds and banks. The project is managed by the State Water Resources Control Board as the lead agency, with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife serving as the responsible agency. A Notice of Determination issued on August 25, 2025, confirms that the project will not have significant environmental effects within the agency's jurisdiction, provided that the applicant adheres to a specific mitigation monitoring plan and all imposed mitigation measures. This action is a state environmental compliance approval rather than a federal procurement contract; consequently, it does not contain standard federal acquisition clauses, pricing tables, or traditional procurement terms. Key administrative contacts include Jessica Nadolski of the State Water Resources Control Board and Robert Hosea of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
