Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-MEN-59893-R1 for Timber Harvesting Plan (THP) 1-25-00052-MEN

Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-MEN-59893-R1 is a regulatory environmental permit issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) in coordination with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The project is located in Mendocino County, approximately two miles northeast of Gualala, specifically targeting the North Fork Gualala River and its tributaries. The scope of work involves modifying Class I and Class II watercourses at existing road crossings and implementing water diversion from Class I watercourses to support infrastructure adaptations associated with Timber Harvesting Plan 1-25-00052-MEN. This agreement is a non-monetary environmental compliance instrument rather than a financial procurement contract, as payment is not required under Public Resources Code section 4629.6(c). The project is governed by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and its execution is contingent upon adherence to specific mitigation measures and environmental findings documented in a Negative Declaration. Administrative oversight is managed by the CDFW Northern Region, with primary points of contact including Eric Hedge of the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and Grace Rhoades of the CDFW.
