Ferndale Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvement Project

The Ferndale Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvement Project, managed by the City of Ferndale and located at 606 Port Kenyon Road in Ferndale, California, focuses on the repair and maintenance of existing public facilities. The primary objectives of the project are to increase the available storage capacity of the wastewater treatment pond, establish safer access for maintenance personnel, and limit the entry of inorganic human refuse from contracted septic dumps. Additionally, the project aims to mitigate the risk of sewage overflows into the nearby creek. This project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is overseen by the City of Ferndale with the State Water Resources Control Board serving as the approving agency. Because the work involves the maintenance of existing facilities without expanding their use, it qualifies for categorical exemptions under Sections 15301 and 15302. Key administrative contacts for the project include City Manager Kristene Hall and Water Resources Engineer Gurleen Bhatia.
