SCV Water is proposing a Non-Time-Critical Removal Action for Well NC-13 in the Saugus Formation to proactively address detections of perchlorate, a regulated contaminant. A NonTime-Critical Removal Action is a planned, proactive step to address environmental conditions that warrant action but do not pose an immediate threat to public health or safety. Through the process, SCV Water will evaluate alternatives, select a protective and cost-effective remedy, and continue routine monitoring and regulatory coordination. The goal is to protect public health, safeguard the aquifer and keep the community informed while the Agency advances the most effective long-term solution.

Public Comment and Project Information

Community feedback is vital. Details about the public comment process, including where to submit comments and the comment period dates, will be provided at the meeting and will be posted on the project webpage at yourscvwater.com/saugus-removal-action.
