| Objectives | The City of Portola is situated in Plumas County, on Highway 70, approximately 25 miles southeast of Quincy and 45 miles northwest of Reno, Nevada. Portola is at the eastern boundary of the Cascade Mountains, just to the west of Sierra Valley, the headwaters of the Middle Fork of the Feather River. Portola has traditionally been a lumber and railroad town. Much of the incorporated area consists of
single-family homes. There are some commercial facilities adjacent to Highway 70 such as restaurants, grocery stores, motels, gasoline stations, and other small office buildings or businesses. There is an older, small commercial district on 1st Street and Commercial Avenue South of the River. The River is the predominant surface water feature in the area, and flows west through the town, separating it into roughly equal halves north and south of the rivers stream channel. The population of Portola is approximately 2,500 in accordance with the year 2000 census. The Discharger owns and operates a wastewater collection system, and a wastewater treatment plant with disposal to wetlands. The Plant lies south of the River and State Highway 70, just west of Portola, north of the Union Pacific Rail Yard, and east the Dellecker Wastewater Treatment Ponds, in Section 2,
T22N, R13E, MDB&M. The wetlands may discharge to the River. Due to the residential and light commercial uses in the town, the characteristics of wastewater discharged to the treatment plant are predominantly those expected of residential waste.
