Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-SHA-56188-R1, Timber Harvesting Plan (THP) 2-24-00179-SHA “Bull Nelson.”

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is issuing Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-SHA-56188-R1 to authorize temporary stream crossings on Class I and Class II watercourses in support of Timber Harvesting Plan THP 2-24-00179-SHA, known as “Bull Nelson,” located approximately 3.5 miles northeast of Big Bend in Shasta County. The agreement, signed on October 3, 2025, and posted on October 14, 2025, is administered under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and requires compliance with Fish and Game Code Section 711.4, including payment of the required filing fee. Work is to occur on unnamed tributaries of Snow Slide Creek, Nelson Creek, and the Pit River within Township 37N, Range 1E, Sections 15 and 22, and Township 47N, Range 1E, Section 17. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CALFIRE) certified the timber harvesting plan as the primary environmental document under CEQA, and CDFW, acting as a responsible agency, adopts CALFIRE’s environmental findings while imposing specific mitigation measures to protect aquatic resources during construction and operation of temporary crossings, including spitters and other crossing structures. No federal acquisition regulations or standard contract clauses apply; the instrument is a state environmental permit, not a procurement contract, and thus contains no pricing, invoicing, payments, contract types, or federal evaluation factors. Performance is governed by adherence to the approved mitigation measures outlined in the certified timber harvesting plan, with inspection and acceptance responsibilities assigned solely to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The agency retains authority to verify compliance with environmental standards under CEQA and Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, ensuring that all project modifications successfully avoid or mitigate significant impacts on biological resources. There is no stated period of performance, delivery schedule, or FOB terms, nor are there any identified contract values, accounting codes, or payment office details. The applicant, represented by Sierra Pacific Industries, is not required to submit representations regarding small business status, UEI, or socioeconomic certifications, as this is not a federal procurement. Public access to all environmental review documents—including the timber harvesting plan and any associated findings—is mandated, and all submissions must be directed to CDFW’s Sacramento office. The agreement includes no options, key personnel requirements, security clearances,
