The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and is currently listed as a forecast with a posted date of July 22, 2026. It has been granted a Notice of Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically falling under Class 3 for new small facilities and Class 4 for minor public alterations to land and vegetation. Daryl Hensler, the Director of Field Services, serves as the primary point of contact for the agency.
