PL2302-01 O Cal Water Backup Well

The City of Oroville is overseeing project PL2302-010 for the California Water Service to drill a backup well in Oroville, California. The new well will be located on a 9,500 square foot empty lot at the southeast corner of Feather River Boulevard and Bird Street, identified as APN 012-111-001. This project is intended to replace an existing well currently leased from the Union Pacific Railroad near 4690 Baggett Marysville Road. The site is zoned as Intensive Commercial (C-2), which permits the construction of utility buildings or substations. Technical specifications indicate that the well may require PFOS treatment, pending the results of water quality testing from a test well. The project is classified under NAICS code 237110 and has been granted a Notice of Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a ministerial project in a fully developed commercial area. Primary points of contact include City Planner Wes Ervin and Associate Engineer Alison Wong.
