Prairie City SVRA Goose Pond Culvert (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. SAC-60659-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife executed a Streambed Alteration Agreement under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code with California State Parks for a stormwater improvement project at Prairie City SVRA near Goose Pond. The project involves replacing an existing culvert with a new small PVC culvert, rerouting the Bobcat Trail over the new structure, recontouring drainage slopes to establish wetland swales, and raising the road surface by two feet to prevent ponding at the Oak Hill Trail service entrance. Post-construction restoration includes hydroseeding native vegetation and planting willow stakes to stabilize soils and enhance habitat. The effort is authorized under CEQA categorical exemptions for replacement of existing structures, small new construction, and minor restoration under five acres. All work occurs at 13300 White Rock Road, Rancho Cordova, California, within Sacramento County. The agreement is a regulatory approval rather than a competitive contract, with no monetary value, pricing, or traditional contract clauses identified. Oversight is provided by CDFW’s Senior Environmental Scientist Harvey Tran, while California State Parks serves as the implementing party. No solicitation number, contract type, payment details, or federal acquisition regulations apply, as the process adheres to state environmental permitting frameworks. Neither standard federal contract representations, certifications, evaluation factors, nor delivery schedules are part of the documentation, reflecting its nature as an administrative environmental compliance action rather than a procurements transaction.
