Soda Springs Pavement Rehabilitation, Culvert 47 Restoration Activities (Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. NEV-64065-R2)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized Teichert Construction, through its representative Kate Wheatley, to conduct on-site stream habitat restoration at Culvert 47 along the South Yuba River in Nevada County, California, under Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. NEV-64065-R2, issued pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The work is limited to revegetating disturbed areas near the culvert inlet and outlet with native riparian plant species and seeding, coupled with erosion control best management practices to stabilize the streambanks and surrounding habitat. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15333, as it involves minor habitat restoration on five acres or less and does not constitute a federal procurement, meaning no Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, accounting codes, or procurement-specific clauses apply. The scope is strictly environmental restoration with no commercial delivery or pricing elements, and all activities must adhere to state environmental guidelines without the use of federal contract types, payment systems, or invoicing protocols. Performance occurs at the designated project site with coordinates provided for both inlet and outlet locations, and acceptance is managed directly by CDFW through its Senior Environmental Scientist, Mary Xiong, who also serves as the primary point of contact for regulatory oversight and final approval. No federal entity identifiers, socioeconomic certifications, or evaluation criteria are required or present, as the agreement is an administrative environmental authorization rather than a competitive contract award, with no specified period of performance or cost estimates provided in the documentation.
