Document Description
The project proposes construction of a well head water treatment system to treat naturally occurring hexavalent chromium (chromium-6), to bring the District into compliance with the California State Water Resource Control Board Division of Drinking Water’s final maximum contaminant level of 10 parts per billion for chromium-6. An IS/MND was adopted for the project in September 2015 and an addendum to the IS/MND was prepared in 2025 to reflect minor changes to the project over the intervening period.
The District initially adopted the IS/MND for the Chrome 6 Water Treatment System Project on September 1, 2015. The project was then put on hold. On October 1, 2024 the District resumed efforts to come into compliance with new state regulation. The 2025 IS/MND Addendum to the IS/MND evaluates minor revisions to the project design and treatment processes. The project objective to provide water treatment to comply with the State Department of Drinking Water Chromium 6 MCL is unchanged.
