WAPA-SN Contracts with GeomorphIS to Provide Access Road Bio Support

The DOE Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), Sierra Nevada (SN) region issued GeomorphIS and partner Bargas Environmental a task order to provide biological resource services, including biological survey, monitoring, site preparation and clean up, and on-call biological resource services for the Path 15 2023 Access Road Grading Project in Fresno County, California. Biological surveys include reconnaissance surveys, pre-construction surveys, and may involve protocol-level species surveys for blunt-nosed leopard lizard, giant kangaroo rat, and/or San Joaquin kit fox. Other species of potential concern include burrowing owl and San Joaquin woolly-threads. The work will be completed by the end of 2023.
