Weaver Creek Habitat Restoration Project (WDID No. 1B26078WNTR)

On July 7, 2026, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a Statewide Restoration General Order Notice of Applicability to the Yurok Tribe for the Weaver Creek Habitat Restoration Project, designated as WDID No. 1B26078WNTR. The project is located in the upper section of Weaver Creek in Weaverville, Trinity County, California, and is designed to restore and expand critical habitat for coho salmon by creating new floodplain areas and enhancing instream habitat complexity. The initiative is statutorily exempt from full California Environmental Quality Act review under Public Resources Code § 21080.56(e), as determined by Trinity County as the Lead Agency, permitting streamlined environmental implementation without a full environmental impact report. The Yurok Tribe is the implementing entity responsible for executing the work, while the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board serves as the regulatory overseer and issuing authority for the NOA. Contractual details such as value, payment terms, delivery schedules, invoicing procedures, and formal contract type are not specified in the available documentation, which primarily functions as an environmental authorization rather than a traditional procurement instrument. There are no identified contract clauses from the Federal Acquisition Regulation, no pricing or cost data, no evaluation factors, and no formal representations or certifications provided by the Yurok Tribe, including UEI or CAGE codes, nor any socioeconomic status declarations. The place of performance is clearly situated in California, with no packaging, marking, or shipping instructions outlined, and no formal delivery or acceptance locations defined beyond the project site. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities are implied to fall under the oversight of the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, although no specific criteria, quality standards, or inspection protocols are detailed in the documentation. The project’s primary measurable outcome is the significant increase in high-quality aquatic habitat to support the recovery of endangered coho salmon populations, aligning with broader ecological restoration goals under the Statewide Restoration General Order. Contact information for the primary point of contact, Jake Shannon, Senior Environmental Scientist at the Board, and David J. Bandrowski of the Yurok Tribe, is provided, but roles such as COR, COTR, or PCO are not formally designated. The project is listed as a forecast with a posted date of July 15, 2026, and a unique project identifier, but lacks a formal solicitation or contract number, amendment history, or submission instructions, suggesting it operates under an administrative authorization framework
