AI Contract Overview

The California Department of Water Resources is implementing the Statewide Monitoring Network Modernization Project at the Black Mountain Radar facility within the Los Padres National Forest in San Luis Obispo County. The project involves the installation of soil sensor probes to collect real-time soil moisture data, which will be made publicly available through the California Data Exchange Center website. The scope of work includes the excavation of a 3x3x3 foot temporary soil pit and the installation of buried cables in conduit via trenching up to 50 feet to connect the probes to the existing hydrometeorological station. All excavation and backfilling will be performed using hand tools. Additionally, the project requires the removal of chaparral vegetation within 100 feet of the station using hand tools and chainsaws to mitigate wildfire risks. This project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and was forecasted on August 4, 2026. It is managed by Brian Humphrey, a Senior Environmental Scientist. The work is conducted under CEQA Guidelines categorical exemptions 15301, 15304, and 15306, as the activities are considered minor alterations to land and information collection that will not significantly impact the environment. The performance site is located approximately 14 miles east of Santa Margarita.

Full Description

DWR is proposing to install soil sensor probes within 50 feet of the existing Black Mountain hydrometeorological station, located within the Los Padres National Forest. Installation of the soil probes would require the excavation of a 3' x 3' x 3' temporary soil pit where soil robes would be installed to collect soil moisture data. The soil probes would be connected to the existing station with buried cables in conduit, which would require trenching up to 50' from the proposed soil probes to the existing station. The temporary soil pit and associated trenching would be excavated and backfilled with the use of hand tools. In addition, Chaparral vegetation surrounding the existing station (up to 100') would also be removed with hand tools and chainsaws to minimize the risk of damage and spread of wildfire.
