San Bernardino Countywide Plan

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued an Incidental Take Permit (ITP No. 1927-ITP-2026-046-06) to Lindsey Kerry under Section 1927.3 of the Fish and Game Code, authorizing the incidental take of three western Joshua trees (Yucca brevifolia) incidental to construction activities on a 2.21-acre single-family residential lot in San Bernardino County. The project involves the removal of an existing septic tank and the installation of a new septic system with leach lines, along with associated site preparation including exaction and equipment staging. This authorization is granted under the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act and the California Endangered Species Act, with compliance enforced through approved Mitigation and Monitoring Plans, and adherence to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as outlined in Public Resources Code § 21081(a). The project site falls within unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County, specifically in proximity to Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley, and all environmental findings and approvals are tied to the physical location of the development. Regulatory oversight and acceptance authority rest with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which has confirmed that the project’s impacts on protected flora have been sufficiently mitigated to meet statutory requirements. There is no federal procurement mechanism or contractual obligation under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) governing this action; the instrument is a state-issued environmental permit, not a federal contract. No funding, payment, invoicing, accounting, or cost data is provided, and there are no federal clauses, evaluation factors, contract types, or procurement-specific terms such as CLINs, delivery schedules, or business size certifications. The permits are issued to private landowners as regulatory authorizations, not as procurement awards, and the associated contacts listed—such as environmental scientists and county planning personnel—serve regulatory and compliance functions rather than contract administration roles. No structured attachments, packaging requirements, inspection criteria beyond environmental statutes, or solicitation instructions are present, as the documentation pertains strictly to state-level environmental permitting under Fish and Game Code provisions and CEQA, with submission and review handled through California’s environmental regulatory framework.
