Wise Montagna Agricultural Driveway Grading Permit

The project involves the construction of an agricultural driveway on an approximately 87.14-acre parcel in Napa County, California, identified by APNs 030-220-046 and 030-220-048, located south of Sage Canyon Road on Long Ranch Road, near St. Helena in the Agricultural Watershed zoning area. The scope includes grading and earthmoving operations across slopes ranging from 0% to 35%, with the primary objective of establishing safe and stable access for agricultural use within a previously disturbed vineyard environment adjacent to chaparral and woodland ecosystems. Stormwater management facilities will be designed to handle a 100-year storm event, supported by a geotechnical report ensuring slope stability and environmental protection, with strict adherence to avoiding hazardous waste sites, landslide-prone zones, and cultural or biological resources. The project operates under a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) categorical exemption under Section 15304 for minor grading related to agricultural purposes, with additional justification under Section 15061(b)(3) asserting no significant environmental impact. No federal contracting mechanisms, including FAR clauses, payment terms, invoicing systems, or federal acquisition standards, apply—the permit is purely a state-level land-use and environmental regulatory action issued by Napa County’s Planning, Building & Environmental Services Department. The lead agency contact is Kelli Cahill, Planner III, and the project engineer is Michael Muelrath of Applied Civil Engineering, who is responsible for execution and compliance. No contract value, delivery schedule, or pricing details are provided, as this is not a procurement contract but a permitting action with no federal procurement elements, no solicitation number, no evaluated proposals, and no formal contracting structure beyond the issuance of Grading Permit #ENG24-00053.
