Stream Maintenance, No. EPIMS-SHA-63128-R1

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized stream maintenance activity under Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-SHA-63128-R1, permitting Josh Wilson to remove up to 500 cubic yards of accumulated sediment and debris from an unnamed tributary to Little Cow Creek in Shasta County, California. The work is strictly confined to a 10-foot setback from the inlet of a county box culvert, with all removed material required to be redistributed outside of the streambed and riparian areas to minimize ecological disruption. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15301(a), which allows minor maintenance of existing topographical features without requiring full environmental review. The activity is considered non-expansive and limited to the preservation of current conditions, with no alteration to the stream’s natural flow or channel dimensions. The project is located at 22112 Cholet Way, Palo Cedro, CA 96073, and is administered through the Department’s Northern Region, with oversight provided by Environmental Scientist Dyana Judnick and Inland Habitat Conservation Program Manager Adam McKannay. No federal acquisition regulations apply, as this is a state-level environmental notification and exemption, not a federal contract, and no standard FAR or DFARS clauses are included. There are no specified contract value, pricing, payment terms, or delivery schedules, and no formal invoicing or accounting codes are provided. The notification was posted on November 20, 2025, following an execution date of November 18, 2025, and no bids, proposals, or socioeconomic certifications were solicited or required. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the work site, with compliance verified against the categorical exemption criteria. No contract options, security clearances, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are applicable, and the process relies entirely on state environmental law rather than federal procurement guidelines.
