Operation of Nitrate Treatment-Water Supply Permit Amendment

The State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water has issued a permit amendment for the Operation of Nitrate Treatment-Water Supply project located at 5895 S Elm Ave, Fresno, California. The scope of the project involves the operation of a water softener and nitrate treatment system, both of which are housed within existing onsite sheds. This action is categorized under NAICS code 221310 and is managed by the District Engineer, Adam Forbes. A Notice of Exemption was issued on January 28, 2026, stating that the project is categorically exempt under Class 1 of the California Code of Regulations section 15301 for existing facilities. Because the project involves the operation of an existing public water system with no change in use and no exceptions under section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines, it is exempt from further environmental review. The permit amendment is officially approved and available for public review.
