Water Well Permit #25023

Water Well Permit #25023 is an approval for a replacement production well for applicant Kyle Von Tickner, located at 7638 Shelley Road, Montague, California. Issued by the Siskiyou County Environmental Health Division, the project is categorized as exempt under CEQA guidelines, with technical evaluations confirming that the well does not pose a threat to human health, safety, or public trust resources. The well, identified as KVT1, has an estimated pumping rate of 55 gallons per minute and is scheduled to operate for 153 days annually from May through September. The permit strictly limits water production to the irrigation of five acres of farmland historically farmed on the property. To ensure groundwater sustainability, the well must comply with all current and future directives from the Shasta Valley Groundwater Sustainability Agency, which may include requirements for reporting pumping volumes, adhering to strategic pumping restrictions, and implementing voluntary well metering. The project is managed by Director Rick Dean and is consistent with the Groundwater Sustainability Plan for Shasta Valley and historic parcel activity.
