2019 Wastewater Master Plan – September 2019
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.
2019 Wastewater Collection and Treatment Improvement Project Report
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.
2019 Wastewater Rate Study
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.
