The Santa Clara Valley Water District's Encroachment Permit Application is a 10-page document that requires applicants to provide detailed information about their project, including company and contact information, project location, and description of work to be performed. The application also asks about other required permits, property rights, and previous discussions with Valley Water staff. The district reviews applications to ensure that proposed projects do not adversely impact Valley Water's interests, including hydraulics, hydrology, and property rights. Applicants must pay fees for staff costs, appraisal costs, and other expenses, and agree to pay all amounts charged for review and processing within 30 days of billing. The application includes a project assessment section with questions about the project's conformity to Valley Water's Water Resources Protection Manual and potential impacts on water flow, debris, and pollution.
