Main Avenue Ponds Invasive Vegetation Management

The Main Avenue Ponds Invasive Vegetation Management project, managed by the Santa Clara Valley Water District, involves the eradication of two invasive woody species across four percolation pond facilities in Morgan Hill, California. The scope of work covers approximately 39,700 square feet, or 0.92 acres, and utilizes foliar and cut stump treatments of glyphosate to protect the integrity and function of the ponds and their associated infrastructure. This project is classified under NAICS code 561730 and is designated as a presolicitation. The project is governed by a Notice of Exemption dated September 17, 2025, and qualifies for a Class 4 Categorical Exemption under CEQA Guidelines for minor land alterations, as it does not involve the removal of healthy, mature, or scenic trees. Administrative oversight is provided by Kelly White, Associate Environmental Planner, and Gregory Williams, Deputy Operating Officer of the Raw Water Division. The work is specifically located at the Main Avenue Ponds at the intersection of Main Avenue and Hill Road in Santa Clara County.
