Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-SHA-56188-R1, associated with Timber Harvesting Plan 2-24-00179-SHA Bull Nelson, authorizes specific watercourse encroachments in Shasta County, California. The project scope is limited to three encroachments: the installation of a temporary crossing on a Class II watercourse and a temporary spittler crossing on both Class I and Class II watercourses. These activities will take place approximately 3.5 miles northeast of Big Bend on unnamed tributaries to Snow Slide Creek and Nelson Creek, which feed into the Pit River within the Indian Creek planning watershed. The project is governed by the Timber Harvesting Plan certified by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection on September 23, 2025. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued a Notice of Determination confirming that the project will not result in significant environmental effects, provided that all required mitigation measures are implemented. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and State CEQA Guidelines is mandatory for all project activities. The Department of Fish and Wildlife serves as the procuring agency, while California Forestry and Fire Protection acts as the lead agency. Key points of contact for the project include Jon Woessner for the lead agency and Daviel Vazquez for the Northern Region.
