Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-MEN-60580-R1 for Timber Harvesting Plan (THP) 1-25-00084-MEN

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is administering a Streambed Alteration Agreement, EPIMS-MEN-60580-R1, to authorize modifications to Class I, Class II, and Class III watercourse crossings at existing roads within Mendocino County, specifically in areas surrounding Onion Creek, Horse Canyon, Little Horse Canyon, Hulls Creek, and unnamed tributaries in Sections 7, 8, 17, 18, 20, and 25 of Township 24N, Range 12W and 13W, under the Mt. Diablo Base and Meridian. This agreement supports Timber Harvesting Plan 1-25-00084-MEN and is governed exclusively under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), not federal procurement regulations, meaning no Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses or standard contract provisions apply. The project requires compliance with CEQA procedures, including the preparation and public availability of environmental documentation such as a Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact Report, with mitigation measures established to protect aquatic resources. No payment is required from the applicant under Public Resources Code §4629.6(c), and no contract value, pricing, line items, or invoicing details are present, as this is a regulatory permit rather than a procurement. Performance occurs on-site in California, with no specified period of performance, delivery schedule, or FOB terms, and inspection and acceptance protocols are tied to CEQA compliance rather than technical quality standards. The Lead Agency, CDFW, oversees approval and enforcement, with primary contact points including Janelle Deshais and Eric Hedge. No formal attachments, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or contractor representations are detailed in the available documentation, reflecting the purely regulatory nature of the agreement focused solely on environmental compliance and resource protection under state law.
