Vineyards at El Dorado Hills/Z16-0002/PD16-0001/TM16-1528

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has approved a Streambed Alteration Agreement under Fish and Game Code Section 1602 for Harinder Johl, authorizing mass grading for 31 single-family homes along with associated roads and infrastructure within Hill View Estates in El Dorado County, California, and the construction of a structural plate arch bridge known as the Unit 2 Crossing over an ephemeral drainage on Road A. The bridge is designed with a 29-foot span and an 8-foot 3-inch rise, founded on concrete footings with a minimum 10-foot setback from the edge of the drainage, and will be installed with engineered backfill across its full width, supplemented by rock slope protection or geotextile fabric as needed to prevent erosion. The project impacts occur within approximately 100 feet of ephemeral drainages and seasonal wetlands, triggering regulatory review under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15096, and necessitating compliance with prescribed environmental and engineering conditions to mitigate ecological disruption. The agreement, dated January 29, 2026, with official notification number ELD-60174-R2, is administered by CDFW as the regulatory authority, with no formal federal procurement structure or acquisition clauses applicable, as this is a state environmental permit rather than a contracted procurement. There is no stated contract value, delivery schedule, or payment terms, and no formal solicitation or proposal evaluation process is documented, as the approval stems from regulatory compliance rather than competitive bidding. The project site is located at latitude 38.71539, longitude -121.06500 for mass grading and latitude 38.71592, longitude -121.06481 for the bridge crossing, both within Assessor’s Parcel Number 126-680-002-000. No monitoring plan has been required by CDFW, and no affidavits, certifications, or socioeconomic representations from the applicant are included in the documentation. All requirements are tied directly to adherence to state environmental statutes and approved engineering specifications.
