Temporary Stream Crossing Removal and Site Restoration

The contract mandates the complete removal of temporary stream crossings installed during timber harvest operations and the full restoration of affected streambanks and riparian zones to their pre-construction condition. This work is critical to reestablishing natural hydrological functions, protecting aquatic habitats, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. All temporary structures, including log or steel crossings, must be dismantled, debris removed, and the streambed and surrounding vegetation returned to a stable, natural state that supports ecological recovery and sediment control. The effort is part of a broader environmental mitigation requirement under the supervision of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, with work to be performed in accordance with state environmental standards. The contract is classified under NAICS code 562910, indicating it falls within environmental remediation and waste management services, and is structured as a subcontract. Site-specific conditions may vary, but the overarching goal is to eliminate human-made disturbances and restore the integrity of stream systems and adjacent riparian vegetation to support long-term watershed health. All activities must be conducted with minimal impact to surrounding ecosystems during and after execution.
