Domestic Well for the Elsa Estrada-Morales Property (CEQ 25-013)

The Domestic Well for the Elsa Estrada-Morales Property project, identified as CEQ 25-013, involves the construction of a new replacement well to provide water for domestic use at 32438 Road 127, located north of the City of Visalia in Tulare County, California. The property is situated within the Visalia Urban Area Boundary and is zoned as Rural Residential Combining-Special Mobilehome Zone. Because the proposed well location cannot meet the minimum setback requirements from existing septic tanks and leach lines, the project requires an administrative variance. To mitigate potential environmental risks, the contractor is required to install a 100-foot annular seal to eliminate the risk of contamination at the new well site. The project has been granted a Categorical Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Class 3, Section 15303, for the new construction of small structures, based on its compliance with local zoning and health codes. All construction activities must adhere to the Tulare County Ordinance Code Part IV regarding Health, Safety, and Sanitation, specifically Chapter 13 concerning the construction of wells. The County of Tulare serves as the lead agency for this project, overseen by the Resource Management Agency. While the technical scope and regulatory requirements are clearly defined, specific contract details such as the total estimated value, pricing schedules, and specific delivery timelines are not provided in the current documentation.
