Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-HUM-60292-R1 for Nonindustrial Timber Harvesting Plan (NTMP) 1-02NTMP-027-HUM

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, in coordination with the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, is administering a Streambed Alteration Agreement for modifications to Class III watercourses at existing road crossings within a Nonindustrial Timber Management Plan located in Humboldt County, approximately two miles south of Fortuna near the Van Duzen River and its tributaries. This agreement, identified as EPIMS-HUM-60292-R1, is issued under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to ensure that timber harvesting activities comply with state environmental regulations aimed at protecting aquatic habitats, water quality, and fisheries. The project requires adoption of CEQA findings, which may include either an Environmental Impact Report or a Negative Declaration, and implements mitigation measures to minimize impacts to streambeds and surrounding ecosystems in accordance with Public Resources Code sections 21081(a), 21108, and 4629.6(c). No payment is required under this agreement, as statutorily exempted, and it functions as a regulatory permit rather than a procurement contract. There is no federal acquisition regulation (FAR) framework governing this action, and no traditional contract elements such as pricing, line items, delivery schedules, inspection criteria, or payment offices apply. The document does not include solicitation numbers, contract types, or evaluation factors typical of federal procurement, nor are there any identified offerors, certifications, or socioeconomic designations. Key contacts include Jack A Henry and Eric Hedge from CDFW and Cal Fire respectively, with Jon Hendrix serving as the signing authority. All environmental documentation, including the Timber Harvesting Plan, EIR or Negative Declaration, and the Streambed Alteration Agreement itself, are accessible via the provided public link and at CDFW offices in Eureka and Redding. The project is forecasted but lacks formal deadlines, submission instructions, or electronic filing requirements, and its execution hinges entirely on compliance with CEQA processes and state environmental codes rather than contractual performance metrics.
