Water Well Permit #25040

Siskiyou County, California, has issued Water Well Permit #25040 to authorize the installation and operation of a production well on APN 022-221-070 near Old Westside Road in Grenada, with the sole purpose of irrigating 28 acres of historically farmed land. The permit, issued under a CEQA Class 3 categorical exemption, permits seasonal groundwater extraction from April through September, totaling no more than 30 acre-feet annually at a maximum rate of 100 gallons per minute, averaging 37.3 gpm during operation. Pumping is required to use drip irrigation or overhead sprinklers for ornamental conifers and trees, and compliance with the Shasta Valley Groundwater Sustainability Plan is mandatory, including future reporting obligations and potential adjustments from the Groundwater Sustainability Agency. Hydrogeological analysis conducted by Larry Walker Associates using the Shasta Watershed Groundwater Model confirms that annual streamflow depletion will not exceed 0.01% of average flow at the Scott River Mainstem gage, ensuring no substantial adverse impact on public trust resources. Permit approval is administered by the Siskiyou County Community Development and Environmental Health Division in Yreka, with inspection and oversight centered at the well site location. While the applicant, Perry Colburn, is not a federally registered business entity and no federal acquisition clauses, contract types, pricing, payment, or procurement mechanisms apply, the process is governed by California environmental law and local codes. No federal contracting elements such as UEI, CAGE codes, FAR clauses, evaluation factors, or invoicing systems are involved, as this is a ministerial environmental permit under state and local authority, not a federal procurement action. Submissions were made through physical documents to the County Clerk and Environmental Health Division, with no electronic portal or digital format requirements, and no formal deadlines or amendment history are documented.
