Streambed Alteration Agreement Agreement No 65994 for Timber Harvesting Plan 1-26-00019-HUM Studhorse

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is issuing a Streambed Alteration Agreement for Timber Harvesting Plan 1-26-00019-HUM Studhorse, designated as Agreement No. 65994, to authorize permanent culvert crossings, temporary skid crossings, and associated crossing maintenance activities. This agreement is part of a regulated process to ensure that forest management activities comply with environmental protections for aquatic resources, particularly in California state waters. The project involves infrastructure adjustments to facilitate timber harvesting while minimizing impacts on stream ecosystems, requiring adherence to specific mitigation and monitoring protocols to preserve fish habitat and water quality. The agreement is set to be posted on June 12, 2026, and is managed by the California Forestry and Fire Protection Department. Point of contact information includes Kim Backes, Environmental Scientist, and James Strong, Review Team Chair, who oversee environmental compliance and coordination. The proposed activities will occur within California, with performance details tied to the specific location of the timber harvesting plan. The process is governed under state environmental regulations and requires coordination with regulatory bodies to ensure lawful and ecologically responsible implementation of crossing structures and maintenance procedures.
