The California State Lands Commission is authorizing an amendment to General Lease 4078, a 25-year Right-of-Way Use agreement, to include the use and maintenance of an existing 12-inch diameter underground water transportation line. The project is proposed by the City of Needles and involves 0.16 acre of state-owned school land located in Needles, San Bernardino County, specifically identified as Assessor's Parcel Number 0659-221-71 in Section 36, Township 9 North, Range 22 East. This action is categorized as a forecast with a posted date of July 2, 2026, and is associated with NAICS code 237110. The project has been granted a Notice of Exemption under Class 1 for Existing Facilities, as the amendment will not result in significant environmental effects or physical changes to the site. Primary coordination is being handled by Sarah Mongano of the California State Lands Commission and Tammy Ellmore of the City of Needles.
