Water Well Permit #25066

Siskiyou County is authorizing the deepening of an existing production well at 7619 Machado Lane, Montague, CA 96064, to supply supplemental irrigation water for 22 acres of pastureland during the growing season from April through November, with a maximum annual extraction limit of 60 acre-feet and a peak pumping rate of 40 gallons per minute. This action is governed under California’s environmental review framework, specifically the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and qualifies for a Class 3 categorical exemption due to its minor, non-adverse impact on the environment, contingent upon compliance with groundwater sustainability directives. The project is not a federal procurement and does not involve standardized federal acquisition regulations, contract types, pricing, or payment structures; instead, it is a ministerial permit issued under state and local water governance procedures. The applicant, Joseph Faris, and technical consultant Larry Walker Associates are responsible for adhering to operational limits, annual reporting to the county, and alignment with the Shasta Valley Groundwater Sustainability Agency’s management requirements, including potential future restrictions during drought conditions. No federal contracting elements such as FAR clauses, UEI or CAGE codes, socioeconomic set-asides, or contracting officer representatives are applicable or present, as the documentation centers entirely on regulatory approval for groundwater use under California law. The permit is not associated with any contract value, invoicing system, or procurement evaluation criteria, and submission requirements are met through physical filing of the Notice of Exemption and a supporting hydrogeological memorandum at the county and state offices, with no digital or electronic submission process specified.
