Perrin Residence Septic System Replacement Project (Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act (WJTCA) Incidental Take Permit No. 1927-ITP-2026-069-06 (ITP))

The Perrin Residence Septic System Replacement Project, located in unincorporated Yucca Valley, San Bernardino County, involves the replacement of an existing 1,000-gallon septic tank with a new 1,500-gallon concrete septic tank and a single leach line. This infrastructure upgrade is designed to serve an existing single-family residence and an additional dwelling unit on a 1.25-acre parcel. The scope of work includes trenching approximately 346.30 square feet of the property to accommodate the new system. Under Incidental Take Permit No. 1927-ITP-2026-069-06, issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) on June 18, 2026, the project is authorized to proceed despite the incidental take of two western Joshua trees, which are protected under the California Endangered Species Act and the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act (WJTCA). As a condition of approval, the project must adhere to specific mitigation measures and a Mitigation Reporting or Monitoring Plan adopted by the CDFW to ensure environmental compliance.
