Operation of Nitrate Treatment-Water Supply Permit Amendment

The project involves the operation of a water softener and nitrate treatment system at an existing facility located at 5895 S Elm Ave, Fresno, California, under a permit amendment issued by the California State Water Resources Control Board. The treatment systems are accommodated within existing on-site sheds, with no new construction or land use changes, qualifying the project for a Class 1 categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act. The primary objective is to ensure continued compliance with state drinking water standards by removing nitrates and softening water to meet public health requirements, with oversight and acceptance responsibilities held by the State Water Board. The place of performance is clearly defined as Fresno, with the Division of Drinking Water serving as the regulatory authority, and key contacts include Adam Forbes, District Engineer, and Wendy Pierce, Senior Environmental Scientist, who signed off on the permit approval. Although the project is classified as a forecast and issued under a state environmental permitting framework, there is no indication of federal contractual elements such as Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, cost estimates, payment terms, invoicing methods, accounting codes, or award evaluation criteria. No procurement contracting officer, contracting officer’s representative, or technical representative is designated, and there is no mention of contract value, pricing structure, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or performance incentives. The applicant is identified as the Easton Presbyterian Church, with no socioeconomic certifications, unique entity ID, or size status provided, and no formal representations, certifications, or submission instructions are included. The documentation focuses exclusively on regulatory compliance and operational continuity under state water quality regulations, with all administrative and technical oversight centralized within California’s water resources governance structure.
