Well Permit 26-000125

Monterey County has issued a Notice of Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act for Well Permit 26-000125, authorizing the replacement of an existing agricultural irrigation well at 13650 Reservation Road in Salinas, California. The project is categorized as a Class 2 exemption under CEQA Section 15302(c), indicating it involves the replacement of an existing utility system without expansion, modification, or increased environmental impact. The work is being performed by Pacific Coast Well Drilling, Inc., with Merrill Farms LLC as the applicant, and is subject to compliance with Monterey County codes and regulations as well as relevant provisions of the Public Resources Code. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, contract values, pricing details, or standard procurement elements such as CLINs, payment terms, or performance metrics are included, as this is an environmental permitting action rather than a competitive federal contract. The project is not subject to federal small business set-asides, socioeconomic certifications, or FAR-mandated representations, and no formal contracting officer, technical representative, or invoice processing system is designated. The lead agency contact is Roger Van Horn, Registered Environmental Health Specialist IV at Monterey County Environmental Health, with additional contacts from the project applicant and driller provided for informational purposes. There are no specified performance dates, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or evaluation factors, as the action is ministerial and based on a categorical exemption. Inspection and acceptance are assumed to occur at the project site, with compliance measured against local regulatory standards and the environmental findings documented in the exemption notice. The submission process is administrative, requiring a completed exemption form and certified findings to be filed with the County Clerk and the Office of Planning and Research in Sacramento, though no formal submission deadline, electronic portal, or file format requirements are outlined. No contract value, funding appropriation data, or financial accounting identifiers are available, reflecting the non-commercial, regulatory nature of the action and its reliance on local authority rather than federal procurement processes.
