Water Supply Assessment for the Falcon Glen Project

The Water Supply Assessment for the Falcon Glen Project in Palmdale, California, is an administrative regulatory action required under California Water Code Section 10910 et seq. (Senate Bill 610) to verify that Los Angeles County Waterworks District No. 40, Antelope Valley, has sufficient water supplies to support the proposed 163-acre development with 708 residential lots and open space over a 20-year projection period. The assessment confirms that projected water supplies, including those from normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry year scenarios, adequately address the project’s annual demand of 535.6 acre-feet while accounting for existing and future water needs of the district. The approved assessment, finalized on July 15, 2025, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, serves as a critical component for the City of Palmdale’s Environmental Impact Report under CEQA and qualifies for an exemption from further environmental review pursuant to Public Resources Code §§15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(5). This approval is purely administrative and does not confer any water service rights or entitlements to the project. The process is governed by the District’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, adopted on October 19, 2021, which provides the technical foundation for supply projections and compliance. Supporting documentation includes Enclosure A, the signed Notice of Determination, and Enclosure B, the full Water Supply Assessment report, both of which were submitted for regulatory review and filing. The action is funded through the District’s General Fund for Fiscal Year 2025–26, with no identified contract value, pricing, line items, or federal procurement elements such as FAR clauses, CAGE codes, UEI, or solicitation numbers. No contractor is involved; the responsibility for preparation and submission lies entirely with the public water district, and acceptance authority rests with the County. There are no specified delivery schedules, FOB terms, invoicing methods, or procurement-specific roles such as COR or PCO. The approval triggers state-mandated administrative notifications including filing with the County Clerk and online posting per CEQA requirements, but no federal reporting obligations are implicated. The entire process is rooted in state water law and environmental compliance, with no elements of federal contract administration, physical delivery, or commercial service performance.
