TUD Sierra Pines Regional Water Treatment Facility Project

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has amended Streambed Alteration Agreement No. EPIMS-TUO-34729-R4 to support the Tuolumne Utilities District’s Sierra Pines Regional Water Treatment Facility Project. The original agreement authorized work involving the construction of a pond outlet and inlet, expansion of a reservoir, and installation of a new culvert. This amendment adds new dewatering methods for Pond 2, specifically the implementation of a groundwater trench equipped with wells that channel water to a temporary riprap field, ensuring safe and environmentally compliant preparation for reservoir expansion. The project is located in California and is being managed by the Tuolumne Utilities District with environmental oversight provided by the Department of Fish and Wildlife. The project is listed in a federal forecast with a posted date of July 9, 2026, indicating its anticipated timeline for future permitting or funding phases. Primary point of contact for the district is Erik Johnson, District Engineer, while Clint Stevens, Environmental Scientist with the Department of Fish and Wildlife, serves as the environmental liaison. No solicitation number or NAICS code is provided, and the project appears to be in a planning or preparatory stage, with physical work dependent on regulatory compliance and environmental mitigation measures outlined in the amended agreement.
