San Mateo Bank Stabilization (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-SMO-57472-R3)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement under Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Robert Chao for the San Mateo Bank Stabilization project at 198 Bridge Road in Hillsborough, California. The work entails removing an unpermitted sackcrete revetment along approximately 135 linear feet of the south bank of San Mateo Creek and replacing it with a vegetated boulder revetment and large wood structures designed to control erosion and improve aquatic habitat conditions. This action is authorized under a CEQA categorical exemption, specifically Class 33, which applies to minor alterations to land that do not result in significant environmental impacts, and has been formally noted as exempt with a notice dated October 1, 2025. The project is administered through the EPIMS system under notification number EPIMS-SMO-57472-R3, and regulatory oversight rests with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Region 3 – Bay Delta, with Shannon Husband serving as the primary environmental scientist point of contact and Craig Weightman as the environmental program manager. Robert Chao is identified as the responsible party carrying out the work, with no formal contract value, pricing, or payment terms disclosed, as this is a regulatory notification rather than a competitive procurement. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, contract types, delivery schedules, invoicing methods, or procurement-specific representations and certifications are applicable or included, as the process is governed exclusively by state environmental law and not federal acquisition standards. The work is to be performed entirely at the project site in San Mateo County, with inspection and acceptance responsibilities held by the state agency against compliance with CEQA and Fish and Game Code requirements, and no additional packaging, marking, security clearances, options, or subcontracting provisions are outlined.
