Vallejo Marina A Dock Removal - 2025, (Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-SOL-55710-R3)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, through Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-SOL-55710-R3, has authorized the City of Vallejo, represented by Oscar Alcantar, to remove approximately 13,110 square feet of deteriorated timber floating docks and 104 timber piles, each 14 inches in diameter, from the Vallejo Marina A Dock located on the Napa River. The work is mandated by the Bay Conservation and Development Commission under Permit No. 1986.001 and is classified as a minor maintenance action eligible for a CEQA Class 1 Categorical Exemption, meaning no expansion of use or environmental mitigation is required. All removal activities must be conducted from a barge with no land-side staging, using vibratory hammers solely to loosen piles for extraction by crane, with no new piles installed. Should any pile break during removal, it must be cut one foot below the mudline to prevent long-term environmental disturbance. The operation will temporarily impact 13,222 square feet of tidally influenced aquatic habitat, which is expected to recover naturally without additional restoration efforts. Post-removal monitoring will be conducted to ensure habitat recovery proceeds without unintended consequences from the work. The project is not intended to generate any mitigation or restoration credits. Environmental oversight is provided by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, with Nicholas Magnuson serving as the primary point of contact for compliance and monitoring. No federal contract clauses from the FAR apply, as this is a state-regulated environmental action under California’s Fish and Game Code. The project was issued on August 11, 2025, with no contract value, pricing, or federal procurement details disclosed, indicating it is a straightforward, non-competitive environmental compliance action managed internally by state agencies.
