Sultana Area Stormwater and Recharge Project

The Sultana Area Stormwater and Recharge Project is an infrastructure initiative managed by the County of Tulare Resource Management Agency to improve the storm drain system in the unincorporated and disadvantaged community of Sultana, California. The project scope includes replacing one storm drain inlet and one manhole, installing approximately 205 linear feet of storm drain pipeline, and implementing a new lift pump with accompanying structural and electrical improvements to the existing lift station. Additionally, the project involves reconstructing an interconnection structure between the Alta Irrigation District's Monson Ditch and the stormwater basin on Road 105 to prevent stormwater from discharging into district facilities during winter months, thereby facilitating groundwater recharge. The project is located at Avenue 416 in Sultana, Tulare County, and is categorized under NAICS code 237990. It has been deemed categorically and statutorily exempt under CEQA Guidelines for the construction of small structures and pipelines under one mile. Administrative oversight is provided by the County of Tulare, with key personnel including Chief Planner Gary Mills, Environmental Planner Jessica Wills, and Grants and Resource Manager Denise England. The project was formally processed in January 2026.
