San Ramon Bollinger Well Replacement

The Zone 7 Water Agency is forecasting the San Ramon Bollinger Well Replacement project, scheduled for execution in 2027 in San Ramon, California. The project involves the destruction of an existing monitoring well located at the intersection of Bollinger Canyon Road and Camino Ramon and the installation of a replacement well in a safer, more accessible location along the Iron Horse Trail corridor, which is owned by Contra Costa County. This relocation is necessary to eliminate the need for extensive traffic control on a major thoroughfare while maintaining critical groundwater monitoring capabilities in the northwest portion of the Livermore Valley Groundwater Basin. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and has been issued a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15302 and 15303, as it is considered a replacement or reconstruction with no significant environmental impact. Performance requirements specify that work must be limited to the smallest footprint practicable to ensure no impacts to sensitive habitat or wildlife. Primary points of contact for the agency include Jennifer Heller, Jacob Danielsen, and Elke Rank.
