This agreement is executed pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code. The project has been granted a Class 1 categorical exemption under the California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15301, as it is classified as a minor alteration of an existing public utility facility with negligible anticipated environmental impacts. Administrative oversight is provided by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Central Region office in Fresno, with Benessa Galvan serving as the primary Senior Environmental Scientist Specialist. While the documentation details the specific geographic coordinates and technical requirements for the utility replacement, it does not specify the contract value, period of performance, or specific financial procurement terms.
