Permit Amendment to change the statuses of multiple groundwater wells.

The State Water Resources Control Board is initiating a permit amendment to update the operational status of six groundwater wells in California, specifically to reflect changes in their use and availability. Three wells—Calderwood/Marconi Well 13, Larch/Northrop Well 77, and Evergreen Well N1—are slated to be reclassified from Active to Inactive, indicating they will no longer be in regular use and will be formally taken out of service. Additionally, three other wells—Northrop/Dornajo Well 68, Field Well N8, and Cypress Well N20—will transition from Active to Standby status, meaning they remain available for future use but are currently not extracting water, typically due to operational adjustments or reduced demand. The amendment is administrative in nature, targeting regulatory records to ensure compliance with current water management practices, and does not involve new construction or extraction capacity changes. The action is managed under the authority of the California State Water Resources Control Board, with the primary point of contact being Austin Peterson, District Engineer, and Michael Simi, Operations Manager, who oversee permitting and operational compliance. The amendment is listed as a forecast with a posted date of August 4, 2026, and is associated with the Sacramento, California region. The regulatory update supports accurate water resource tracking and allocation by reflecting the current and projected operational realities of the wells within the state’s managed groundwater system. No procurement, funding, or competitive bidding is involved, as this is strictly a status adjustment to existing permits.
