City-initiated 1.6 million gallon water tank project (Project)

The City of Loma Linda is initiating a project to construct a 1.6 million-gallon welded steel storage tank, which includes the installation of associated piping and the creation of a construction road. The project is located on Richardson Street in Loma Linda, California, specifically at APN 0281-162-53. The City of Loma Linda Community Development Department serves as the lead agency for this effort. On October 27, 2025, the State Water Resources Control Board issued a Notice of Determination confirming that the project will not have a significant environmental effect within its permitting jurisdiction. This determination was based on a Negative Declaration prepared under the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in no required mitigation measures or monitoring plans from the Board. Primary points of contact for the project include Community Development Director Lorena Matarrita and Water Resource Control Engineer Daniel White.
