Water Quality & Stormwater Runoff Assessment

The contract involves a comprehensive assessment of potential impacts on surface and groundwater resources, with a focus on stormwater runoff and leachate management practices. The work must ensure full compliance with federal Clean Water Act requirements under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and corresponding regulations enforced by the California State Water Resources Control Board. The evaluation will examine how project activities may affect water quality through runoff patterns, contaminant migration, and waste management systems, requiring detailed hydrological analysis and remediation planning where necessary. The scope demands technical expertise in environmental hydrology, regulatory permitting, and site-specific water quality modeling to support environmental decision-making. This subcontract, classified under NAICS code 541620 for environmental consulting services, is solicited by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, known as CalRecycle. The assessment is critical to supporting state-level recycling and recovery initiatives by ensuring regulatory adherence and minimizing environmental risks associated with waste handling infrastructure. While specific performance locations and point of contact details are not provided, the contract is accessible through the CEQA Net portal, and timing suggests work will be initiated in mid-2026. The contractor is expected to deliver scientifically rigorous findings that inform permitting, mitigation strategies, and long-term water resource protection under California’s stringent environmental standards.
