Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-MEN-57812-R1 for Timber Harvesting Plan (THP) 1-24-00196-MEN

Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-MEN-57812-R1 is an environmental regulatory agreement issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to facilitate the modification of Class II and Class III watercourses at new and existing road crossings. The project is tied to Timber Harvesting Plan 1-24-00196-MEN and is located in Mendocino County, specifically near Westport on Chadbourne Gulch, Wages Creek, and unnamed tributaries. The primary objective is to ensure the protection of fish and wildlife resources during the modification of these watercourses. The agreement is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act and relevant sections of the Public Resources Code, with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife serving as the lead and responsible agency for environmental determinations. Key personnel associated with the project include Environmental Scientist Grace Rhoades and Forester Eric Hedge. This is a regulatory compliance action rather than a funded procurement contract; consequently, there is no contract value, and payment is not required per state code. The project has been processed through the State Clearinghouse and filed with the Office of Planning and Research to confirm that environmental mitigation measures have been established as conditions for approval.
