PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

BATTLE CREEK SALMON AND STEELHEAD RESTORATION PROJECT

PHASE 2 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE AND SUPPORT SERVICES

APRIL 2025

1. BACKGROUND

The Battle Creek Salmon and Steelhead Restoration Project (Restoration Project) is located in Tehama and Shasta Counties in Northern California. The Restoration Project is identified in the CALFED Bay-Delta Program (CALFED) Programmatic Record of Decision as a fish passage action in support of the CALFED Ecosystem Restoration Program. The Restoration Project involves reestablishing approximately 42 miles of prime salmon and steelhead habitat on Battle Creek, plus an additional 6 miles of habitat on its tributaries, primarily through the modification of the Battle Creek Hydroelectric Project (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [FERC] Project No. 1121) (Hydroelectric Project) facilities and operations, including instream flow releases. Any proposed changes to the Hydroelectric Project trigger the need for the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to seek a license amendment from FERC. Additional project information is available at https://www.usbr.gov/mp/battlecreek/.

In general accordance with the terms and conditions of the June 1999 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) by and among the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), U.S.

Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW, formerly named the California Department of Fish and Game), and PG&E for the Proposed Battle Creek Salmon and Steelhead Restoration Project, Reclamation is carrying out project management and implementation responsibilities for performing or facilitating the completion of activities, including procurement and administration of construction contracts and agreements, environmental compliance, environmental mitigation, maintenance and monitoring during and after construction, and facilitation of related project actions.

Reclamation, the federal lead agency, is responsible for ensuring overall National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance, while FERC, a cooperating federal agency, is responsible for ensuring that proposed changes to the Hydroelectric Project comply with NEPA prior to issuing a license amendment for the Hydroelectric Project. The California State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) is the state lead agency responsible for ensuring California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance because this FERC license requires a Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC 1251 et seq.), Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the State Water Board.

The Restoration Project includes modification of facilities at Hydroelectric Project diversion dam sites located on the North Fork Battle Creek (North Fork), South Fork Battle Creek (South Fork), and Baldwin Creek in three phases (Phases 1A, 1B and 2). Phase 1A includes installing fish screens and ladders at the North Battle Creek Feeder and Eagle Canyon Diversion Dams and removing Wildcat Diversion Dam and appurtenant conveyance systems on the North Fork; and increasing instream flow releases within Baldwin Creek, as well as constructing a fish barrier on Baldwin Creek to protect the upstream state hatchery. Phase 1B includes installing an Inskip https://www.usbr.gov/mp/battlecreek/

Powerhouse tailrace connector and bypass on the South Fork. Phase 2 includes installing a fish screen and ladder on Inskip Diversion Dam, installing a South Powerhouse tailrace connector, and removing Lower Ripley Creek Feeder, Soap Creek Feeder, Coleman and South Diversion Dams, and appurtenant conveyance systems (Figure 1). Phase 1A and Phase 1B construction has been completed, but Phase 2 construction has not occurred.

In late July 2018, PG&E informed the MOU agency partners that they do not intend to renew their Hydroelectric Project FERC License in 2026. In July 2019 the MOU partners agreed to move forward with Phase 2 removal work only, since the hydroelectric project may be decommissioned after the license expires in 2026. In 2025, FERC issued the license amendment order for Phase 2 removal work. The Restoration Project ‘Working Draft Construction Contracts Summary Schedule’, Attachment 2, identifies the remaining construction elements for the project.

2. SCOPE

In order to meet environmental compliance and commitment requirements for the Restoration Project, a detailed mitigation, compensation, restoration, and reporting plan, referred to in the July 2005 Final Restoration Project Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (https://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_project_details.php?Project_ID=99) as an ‘Environmental Implementation Plan (EIP)’, was prepared (Attachment 3). The EIP identifies the requirements needed to meet project environmental compliance and commitments and all associated documentation.

Overall, under this PWS, the Environmental Contractor shall complete the project environmental compliance and commitment requirements identified in the EIP, for Phase 2 removal work only, which includes the removal of South Diversion Dam and Canal, Soap Creek Feeder Diversion Dam, and Lower Ripley Creek Feeder Diversion Dam under one construction contract (South Dam and Canal Removal); and Coleman Diversion Dam under another separate construction contract (Coleman Dam Removal). Once Coleman Diversion Dam is removed, flow into Coleman Canal will cease and impact Coleman National Fish Hatchery (CNFH) operations. The hatchery mainly relies on the intakes that utilize Coleman Canal water. The timing of Coleman Diversion Dam removal is being coordinated with CNFH water supply intakes improvement and modernization projects. Coleman Diversion Dam is currently anticipated to be removed as soon as Summer 2027.

Also, under this PWS, the Environmental Contractor shall provide environmental compliance assistance associated with the Restoration Project and related projects within the Battle Creek watershed.

3. TASKS

Task 1. Environmental Implementation Plan The Environmental Contractor shall administer and update the EIP (Attachment 3) by completing the environmental activities and preparing, including all documentation associated with the following, for Phase 2 removal work only.

The Environmental Contractor shall conduct environmental compliance monitoring program activities for Phase 2 removal work only.

Task 1E. Comprehensive Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (Comprehensive HMMP) (Volume V of the EIP) The Comprehensive HMMP is an all-inclusive document, developed in coordination with Reclamation, NMFS, USFWS, CDFW, PG&E, the State Water Board, FERC, and U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), that describes mitigation and monitoring requirements in the following components:

• Habitat Compensation Approach – introduces to the comprehensive HMMP and describes the type of mitigation activities that will be implemented to address temporary and permanent impacts to sensitive habitats.

• USACE Jurisdictional HMMP – addresses the impacts on wetlands and other waters of the United States that fall under the USACE jurisdiction.

• Riparian Restoration Plan – addresses the impacts on riparian habitat which do not fall under the USACE jurisdiction.

• Oak Planting Plan – addresses the impacts on oak woodland habitat. Monitoring includes baseline and post-construction oak tree surveys.

A baseline oak tree survey for South Dam and South Canal Removal project sites has been completed. The Environmental Contractor is responsible for the post-construction survey and final reporting. For Coleman Dam Removal, the Environmental Contractor shall complete both the baseline and post-construction oak tree surveys.

• Upland Vegetation Conservation Easement Plan – addresses the impacts on upland vegetation (i.e. annual grassland and mixed chaparral vegetation.

• Stillwater Plains Mitigation Bank Plan – addresses the impacts on the elderberry shrub, habitat for the valley elderberry longhorn beetle (VELB) habitat.

Mitigation for Phase 1A and Phase 1B impacts to the VELB have been fulfilled.

In 2016, USFWS provided concurrence that Phase 2 project sites are now considered outside of current range of VELB. No further mitigation associated with Phase 2 project sites will be needed for impacts to the VELB.

The Environmental Contractor shall maintain and update the HMMP as necessary for Phase 2 removal work only and shall finalize the Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan upon Phase 2 removal construction completion.

The Environmental Contractor shall check existing CWA Permits, conduct updated wetland delineations, prepare new CWA Section 404 permit applications, and coordinate with the USACE until new CWA Section 404 permit is issued for Phase 2 Coleman Dam Removal construction.

The payment shall be re-imbursed by the Reclamation through a contract modification.

The CWA Section 404 permits for the South Dam and Canal Removal project sites were acquired in 2024. The Environmental Contractor shall assist Reclamation in monitoring the requirements of the permits and acquiring extension request if necessary.

Task 1F. Noxious Weed Inventory (Volume VI of the EIP) The Environmental Contractor shall perform noxious weed inventory activities for Phase 2 removal work only.

A baseline survey shall be conducted at each project site before construction activities begin to identify which noxious weeds are present and determine whether they should be controlled before the start of construction to avoid introduction or spread into previously un-infested areas. Only a baseline survey for the Coleman Dam Removal project site is required. A noxious weed baseline survey for South Dam and South Canal Removal project sites was completed under a previous environmental services contract.

Post-construction noxious weed surveys shall be conducted at each project site for two years (Year 1 and Year 2) following the completion of construction. The inventory should focus on areas disturbed during the Restoration Project Phase 2 removal activities to verify that ongoing activities have not resulted in the introduction of new noxious weed infestations.

Each inventory should be conducted by a qualified plant ecologist, and the plant ecologist is responsible to prepare and submit a Noxious Weed Inventory letter to the resource agencies after each inventory. Items addressed in the letter shall include baseline survey results, any new infestations of noxious weeds and the actions that have been taken to control noxious weed infestation.

Interim (mid-term) evaluations may be provided to identify strengths and weaknesses in the Environmental Contractor's performance during the period being evaluated. At the end of the period, the COR will assess the Environmental Contractor's performance in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) and report to the Contracting Officer (CO).

(b) Contractor Self-Assessment – Following each evaluation period, the Environmental

Contractor may provide a written self-assessment of its performance to the COR to be considered in its report to the Contracting Officer. The self-assessment shall be submitted not later than 5 working days after the end of each evaluation period. The self-evaluation shall not exceed 1 page per Performance Requirement Summary element. The self-assessment shall address both the strengths and weaknesses of the Environmental Contractor's performance during the evaluation period. Where deficiencies in performance are noted, the Environmental Contractor shall describe the actions planned or taken to correct such deficiencies and avoid their recurrence. The self-assessment itself will NOT be the basis for the payment deduction determination.

(c) COR Recommendation – The COR will consider all evaluations and any other pertinent information, including the Environmental Contractor self-assessment, and will prepare a report to the CO with findings and recommendations. The Environmental Contractor will be provided a copy of the draft findings and recommendations of the COR and will be afforded the opportunity to identify factual errors. The COR's draft recommendation is not subject to negotiation and the COR will not engage in discussions with the Environmental Contractor. Any errors identified by the Environmental Contractor will be addressed by the COR in its final report. The Environmental Contractor will be provided a copy of the final COR report at the same time the report is submitted to the CO.

(d) Invoicing – The Environmental Contractor shall submit one copy of all payment invoices, with the appropriate backup documents to the COR. The COR will determine if the invoice is complete and proper as submitted. The COR also will determine if billed services have been satisfactorily performed and if expenses billed are correct. If it is determined that the amount billed is incorrect, the COR will, within seven days, request the Contractor to submit a revised invoice. The Contractor shall specifically identify his invoice “Final Invoice.” The Final invoice shall include the remaining payment claimed to be due under the basic contract and all modifications issued, if any. The final invoice shall also have the Contractor’s Release of Claims Certificate attached.

(e) The QASP is one evaluation method the government uses to perform surveillance to determine whether the Environmental Contractor meets the standards of performance. The absence of a QASP for any contract requirement, however, shall not detract from its enforceability or limit the rights or remedies of the government under any other provision of the contract in determining the quality of the Environmental Contractor performance.
