AI Contract Overview

Show more

A geologic investigation is planned at T-15, a trench site on the Indian Creek Fault near Antelope Lake in the Mt. Hough Ranger District of California, to assess historical tectonic activity that may impact the long-term safety of Antelope Dam. The study aims to define the location and past behavior of the Indian Creek Fault approximately six miles upstream of the dam along Indian Creek through controlled excavation and subsurface analysis. Prior to trenching, preliminary subsurface exploration will be conducted using hand augers or post-hole tools to gather stratigraphic data, with all removed soil carefully retained on tarps and subsequently backfilled to restore the original ground conditions. The project is led by the California Department of Water Resources, with Leah Feigelson serving as the primary point of contact for engineering geology matters. The initiative is scheduled for execution in 2026, with the goal of informing dam safety evaluations based on refined understanding of regional fault history.

Full Description

Show more
To evaluate past tectonic activity that could influence dam safety at Antelope Lake in the future one trench sites (T-15) on the ICF near Antelope Lake in the Mt. Hough Ranger District. T-15 will be excavated and studied to better define the location and history of the ICF approximately 6 miles upstream of Antelope Dam along Indian Creek. Preliminary subsurface geologic exploration at the ICF sites will take place prior to excavation. A hand auger or post-hole tool will be used to dig into the ground and then backfilled with the same soil. Tarps will be used to place the soil on temporarily until backfilling.

Environment and Protected Areas - Request for Proposal - Electric Conductivity Survey of the Muskeg River
Solicitation # AB-2026-05571
The Muskeg River in northern Alberta’s Athabasca Oil Sands region has seen rising levels of sulphate and other ions, though the origins—whether from natural groundwater discharge, diffuse watershed inputs, or discrete point sources—remain poorly understood. To address this uncertainty, a targeted electric conductivity survey is being solicited to map anomalies along approximately 100 kilometers of the river, with comprehensive coverage of about 200 kilometers when including both banks. The survey aims to identify recurring or persistent conductivity hotspots that signal potential groundwater or porewater influence, helping to distinguish between widespread diffuse inputs and localized point sources of contamination. This spatial analysis will enhance the interpretation of existing fixed-station monitoring data and provide critical context for understanding the movement and origin of elevated ion concentrations in the river. The resulting conductivity maps will directly inform the design of future monitoring programs under the Oil Sands Monitoring Program by pinpointing high-priority areas for surface water and groundwater sampling. By linking surface water quality trends to underlying groundwater plumes potentially connected to oil sands development, the project will strengthen cumulative effects assessments and support adaptive management strategies within the Muskeg River watershed. The survey’s findings are intended to clarify the relative contributions of various stressors, enabling more precise and targeted environmental response measures. Proposals for this work are due by August 28, 2026, and the solicitation is managed by Alberta’s Environment and Protected Areas with primary contact through Prabin Rokaya.

Grant Lake Outlet Valve Replacement Geotechnical Survey (Notification of Lake or Streambed Alteration, No. EPIMS-MOO-66741-R6)The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to conduct geotechnical surveys at 14 locations near Grant Lake under Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-MOO-66741-R6, in compliance with Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The work involves sonic drilling to a maximum depth of 110 feet across all sites, with three of the borings directly impacting the lake or its shoreline below the high-water mark. Two of these will be conducted from a barge or watercraft within the lake itself, while the third may be performed on the shoreline depending on seasonal water levels. Each borehole is confined to an impact area of no more than two square feet and will be meticulously backfilled using bentonite chips slowly introduced through the 6-inch casing to minimize environmental disturbance. The project requires specialized equipment including a crane, sonic drilling rig, 10-wheel truck, support vehicles, forklift, equipment trailer, and watercraft. The activity is part of preparatory work for the Grant Lake Outlet Valve Replacement project, with geotechnical data collected to inform future infrastructure design. All fieldwork is subject to conditions designed to protect aquatic resources, and operations will be executed to avoid unnecessary disruption to the lakebed and surrounding habitat. The authorization is issued by Region 6 of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and project coordination is managed through designated contacts at both LADWP and CDFW. No public solicitation or set-aside classifications are associated with this agreement, as it is a regulatory authorization for a specific technical survey rather than a procurement. The notification was posted on August 7, 2026, and is accessible through the CEQA Net portal.
