Document Description
Treated wastewater effluent from the Mammoth Community Water District is disposed of at Laurel Pond, an effluent dominated pond located east of the Town of Mammoth Lakes. Effluent disposal to Laurel Pond is permitted by the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Board and they have determined that the existing monitoring wells are not screened in the correct location to comply with their monitoring requirements. This projects scope is to install three (but up to four) new monitoring wells adjacent to the four existing monitoring wells that were installed in the summer of 2021. These monitoring wells will be sampled for compliance as well as to provide data for on-going studies.

Reasons for Exemption
Class 6 consists of basic data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. These may be strictly for information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action which a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded. The purpose of these wells is to continue collecting data targeting the surface-water/groundwater interface required to comply with an existing permit.
