Mineral Sanitation District

Tehama County Sanitation District No. 1 Mineral (District) is owned and operated by Tehama County Department of Public Works. The District provides wastewater service to the rural unincorporated community of Mineral, CA, located approximately 40 miles northeast of Red Bluff, adjacent to Lassen Volcanic National Park. The District’s current service area boundary consists of approximately 85 acres (0.13 square miles). The District’s ultimate service area boundary, mentioned in the 1965 Feasibility Report completed by Clair A. Hill and Associates, is approximately 280 acres (0.4 square miles) and contains areas outside the District’s boundary, including Lassen Volcanic National Park Service Headquarters and the Caltrans Maintenance Station. The US Forest Service Campground at Battle Creek and adjacent church campground were not included in the ultimate boundary.

Development of this 2019 Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP) consisted of an engineering analysis of the Tehama County (County) Sanitation District No. 1 (District or Mineral) wastewater collection system and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and what effects current and future wastewater flow conditions have on each of these components.

The WWTP operates under Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) Order No. R5-2015-0073 (NPDES NO. CA0084069), which was adopted by the California Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) on June 5, 2015.

As part of the 2019 Wastewater Master Plan (WWMP), PACE Engineering, Inc. was retained by the County to review current wastewater service charges and recommend feasible rate increases that cover the costs of operating and maintaining the wastewater system. This included most improvements recommended in the immediate and near terms of the capital improvement plan (CIP) included in the 20-year WWMP.
