• STPUD Fallen Leaf Lake Wastewater Pumping Station – Final Public Notice
  • The District operates three sewer pumps stations served by a common electrical and generator building adjacent the Stanford Sierra Camp at Fallen Leaf Lake.  On March 10, 2023, the electrical and generator building was destroyed by an avalanche.  Prior to re-construction, an alternatives analysis was conducted and the highest ranked alternative for reconstructing the building was to re-locate the building away from an existing avalanche hazard area.  Due proximity to Fallen Leaf Lake, the new building site is identified as being in a Special Flood Hazard Area.  To meet Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements for project permitting and reimbursement eligibility, a Final Public Notice is required, as linked below.  Any comments on the proposed action must be submitted to FEMA within 15 days of initial posting.
