White River by Earlimart Stream Gauge Vegetation Removal

The California Department of Water Resources is seeking vegetation removal services at the White River by Earlimart (WRE) stream gauge located in Tulare County, California. The project is situated east of Highway 99 and southeast of the City of Earlimart on the right bank of the White River adjacent to Road 168. The primary objective is to maintain station access and ensure proper operation by removing vegetation from the bubbler line and staff gauge within the dry channel, extending from the levee road to the current waterline, and covering 10 feet both upstream and downstream of the gauge station. The scope of work requires the use of hand tools and a weed eater for all vegetation removal. This project is classified under NAICS code 561730 and is designated as a forecast. It is categorically exempt under section 15301 for existing facilities, as the work involves maintenance without expansion and does not affect sensitive biological or cultural resources. The project is managed by Senior Engineer Hossein Aghazeynali.
