Stream Channel Hydraulic Modification – Earthwork & Grading

The contract entails minor earthmoving activities to modify the low-flow channel of Lower French Creek in Etna, California, with the goal of enhancing fish passage and reducing sediment buildup by increasing water depth and velocity. The work involves precise grading and earthwork to reshape the channel profile, ensuring ecological benefits while maintaining compliance with regional water quality standards. This effort is part of a broader initiative to restore stream function and support aquatic habitat health in the North Coast region. Performed as a subcontract under the oversight of the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Region 1 - North Coast, Santa Rosa, the project is classified under NAICS code 237990 for other heavy and civil engineering construction. Although no solicitation number or point of contact is provided, the activity is formally documented through the California CEQA Net system with a project link referencing June 2026 as the posting date. The scope is narrowly focused on hydraulic improvement rather than large-scale infrastructure, emphasizing environmental restoration through targeted, minimally invasive earthmoving.
