2026 Monitoring Well Project

The 2026 Monitoring Well Project, managed by the Consolidated Irrigation District in California, involves the construction of eight new groundwater monitoring wells in Fresno County. Each well will feature a 12 inch diameter borehole with 4 inch PVC casing, reaching an estimated depth of approximately 350 feet below ground surface. Surface installations for each site will include a 3 foot by 3 foot concrete pad, a 12 inch diameter steel riser, and protective bollards, with an Area of Potential Effect of approximately 2,500 square feet per well site. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is designated as a forecast. It has been granted a Notice of Exemption under Section 15306 Class 6 Information Collection of the California Environmental Quality Act, as the activities are intended for data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation. Michael Carbajal, the Assistant General Manager, serves as the primary point of contact for the project.
