Notice of Intent to Adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration 

 Notice is hereby given that the Calaveras Public Utility District (CPUD) has prepared an Initial Study (IS) of environmental effects and intends to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the CPUD Recycle Backwash Station project. The CPUD is the Lead Agency for this project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The project would involve constructing a backwash recycle pump station and force main pipeline from the existing backwash ponds at the existing CPUD Water Treatment Plant to a new diffuser structure in Jeff Davis Reservoir. The pump station would occupy approximately 49.35 square feet and would be entirely located on the WTP property. No additional property would need to be acquired.

The IS/MND analyzes the potential environmental effects of the project in accordance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. Based on this analysis, the IS/MND finds that the project will not involve any significant environmental effects, provided that the mitigation measures described in the IS/MND are implemented. The CPUD has agreed to the mitigation measures and these measures will be adopted by the CPUD Board of Directors. There are no sites identified under Section 65962.5 of the Government Code located on or near the project site.

The IS/MND is also available for public review at Calaveras Public Utility District at the address shown below.

The CPUD will accept public and agency comments on the IS/MND during a 30-day review period that will begin on November 7, 2024 and end on December 9, 2024.  Comments may be submitted by mail or e-mail as shown below:
