Operation of 1,2,3-Trichloropropane Treatment Water Supply Permit Amendment

The Applicant seeks authorization to operate two newly installed granular activated carbon vessels to treat 1,2,3-Trichloropropane in an existing water supply system located in Delano, California, with the goal of achieving compliance with safe drinking water standards. The proposed system enhancement is intended to remove this contaminant effectively and ensure the water delivered to the community meets all regulatory requirements. The effort is part of a broader initiative to improve water quality under the oversight of the State Water Resources Control Board, and the amendment to the existing permit will formalize the operational changes required for this treatment upgrade. The project is centered at a facility in Delano with a postal code of 93215, where the activated carbon vessels will be integrated into the current infrastructure without major structural modifications. Primary contact for the permitting process is Adam Forbes, District Engineer at the State Water Resources Control Board, who can be reached via phone or email for further inquiries. Rick Lord, Manager at Delano Growers, is listed as a secondary point of contact, indicating stakeholder involvement from local agricultural interests. The forecast notice was posted in July 2026, signaling an upcoming opportunity for formal application and review under the state’s water supply permitting framework.
