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. A key restriction of the project is that activities must not involve the removal of healthy, mature, or scenic trees. The project is classified under NAICS code 561730 and is currently listed as a forecast with a posted date of October 10, 2025. It has been granted a Class 4 Categorical Exemption under CEQA Guidelines for minor alterations to land. Administrative oversight is provided by Kelly White, Associate Environmental Planner, and Gregory Williams, Deputy Operating Officer of the Raw Water Division. The work will be performed specifically at the Main Avenue Ponds located at Main Avenue and Hill Road in Santa Clara County.
