Scott Valley Groundwater Recharge Project

The Scott Valley Groundwater Recharge Project is a managed aquifer recharge initiative led by the Scott Valley Irrigation District in Siskiyou County, California. The project is designed to temporarily divert water from the Scott River during periods of high flow to facilitate groundwater recharge. These diversion activities are strictly limited to a performance window between December 15 and March 31, with the primary place of performance located at Young's Dam near Fort Jones. The project was officially approved on September 17, 2025, following the preparation of a Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act, which determined that no significant environmental effects are expected and no mitigation measures are required. Administrative oversight is managed by the Scott Valley Irrigation District, with Jim Morris serving as a primary point of contact. While the project is classified under NAICS code 541620, specific contract pricing, line items, and award values are not provided in the available documentation beyond the administrative filing fees for the Notice of Determination.
