Voluntary Agreement Early Implementation for the Mokelumne River - Task #2 Water Diversion Screening

The Voluntary Agreement Early Implementation for the Mokelumne River - Task #2 Water Diversion Screening project, managed by the California Department of Water Resources, involves the installation of self-cleaning fish screens at three existing surface water diversions in the lower Mokelumne River. Located in Thornton, San Joaquin County, California, the project aims to reduce the entrainment of juvenile anadromous fish while maintaining current diversion operations. The work is classified as maintenance and minor modification of existing facilities, qualifying for exemptions under CEQA Guidelines 15301, 15302, and 15303, ensuring no significant environmental impact or expansion of water rights. The project was posted on July 31, 2025, as a forecast under NAICS code 237990. Key personnel include Fish Biologist James Pearson and Environmental Program Manager Chad Fien. While specific pricing, delivery schedules, and evaluation criteria are not provided in the available documentation, the project is being implemented by the East Bay Municipal Utility District. Administrative submissions are directed to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento, California.
