CORNING WATER DISTRICT WATER SERVICE CONNECTION PROJECT

The Corning Water District is undertaking a water service connection project to link an existing customer to its surface water system as part of broader efforts to achieve long-term groundwater sustainability in the Corning Subbasin under the Groundwater Sustainability Plan. This project involves the installation of a direct water service line with minimal construction activity at an existing facility, categorized as a minor alteration under California’s Environmental Quality Act exemptions Class 1 and Class 4, which exempt the project from full environmental review. The work is being administered by the Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, with Justin Jenson serving as the primary contact. The project location is in Tehama County, California, specifically at coordinates 39.944264° N, 122.188306° W. No federal contract clauses, evaluation factors, or formal procurement mechanisms are present; the project is governed by state-level environmental compliance procedures rather than federal acquisition regulations. Financial transactions related to the project involve environmental filing fees paid to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, with payments processed through the Tehama County Clerk-Recorder’s office via cash, credit, or check. No contract value, line-item pricing, period of performance, or delivery schedule is specified, and no formal solicitation, award process, or contracting officer roles are documented. The project relies on administrative approvals and categorical exemptions and does not require competitive bidding, technical proposals, or federal compliance certifications such as UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic status determinations.
