El Monte Dairy Agricultural Well

Mono County is forecasting the drilling of a new 18-inch diameter water well to a minimum depth of 900 feet on agriculturalparcel APN 027-160-002 in California to support irrigation operations for El Monte Dairy, replacing a non-functional existing well on the same site. The project is designated under NAICS code 237990 and has been determined categorically exempt from environmental review under California’s CEQA, specifically Sections 21080(b)(1) and 15268, due to minimal anticipated environmental impact, including compliance with a 1,000-foot separation requirement from other active groundwater sources as outlined in the State Water Resources Control Board’s Low-Threat Underground Storage Tank Case Closure Policy, with technical justification derived from Santa Barbara County well interference modeling. The sole mandatory attachment is a certified document of exemption finding, and submissions must be mailed to the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento by August 30, 2025, with no electronic submission options specified. The contract is listed as a forecast notice with no solicitation number, pricing data, contract value, or formal contract type identified. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, inspection standards, payment office details, accounting codes, invoicing procedures, contract administration roles, or socioeconomic certifications are present in the documentation, and there is no indication of small business set-asides, labor requirements, or federal reporting obligations. The lead point of contact is Jill Kearney, Environmental Health Director at Mono County, and the project owner, El Monte Dairy, is the responsible party for execution, with acceptance likely occurring on-site or through the county’s Environmental Health Department. No period of performance, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or technical specifications beyond well diameter and depth are provided, and no unique entity ID, CAGE code, or federal registration details are referenced for the entity.
