Fleming Zone 8 Reservoir and Pump Station Improvements Projects

The Fleming Zone 8 Reservoir and Pump Station Improvements Project, led by the Irvine Ranch Water District, involves the operation of a new 1.3-million-gallon reservoir and pump station located at Silverado Canyon Road and E Santiago Canyon Road in California. The primary objective of the project is to bring the facility into compliance with operational requirements for drinking water storage and pump redundancy to better serve customers within the Santiago Canyon Area. This initiative is classified under NAICS code 237110 for dredging and reclamation work. The State Water Resources Control Board approved the project on September 10, 2025, following an Initial Study Mitigated Negative Declaration which determined that the project would not have a significant environmental effect within the Board's jurisdiction. No specific mitigation measures or monitoring plans were adopted as part of this determination. Administrative oversight is managed by the Irvine Ranch Water District and the State Water Resources Control Board, with key points of contact including District Engineer Oliver Pacifico and Lead Agency Contact Jo Ann Corey.
