Document Description
The approximately 6,500 linear feet of 12-inch water line will be installed by excavating a 2-foot wide by 5-foot deep trench. The pipeline alignment will mostly be in existing dirt roads of 9 to 16 foot width, in order to minimize any disturbance of natural vegetation. Proposed Well #17 will be drilled to a depth of 750 feet with a 16 to 20-inch casing. This well is projected to pump 500 to 750 gpm (gallons per minute). There will not be a need for treatment of the water, but a standby chlorinator unit will be provided at the site. The well will likely be sized for a 100 to 250 hp (horsepower) electric motor. Electric power is available from an existing power pole line that runs parallel to, and just south of, La Brisa Drive. Development of the well by pumping from the acquifier will generate an estimated 5 million gallons of water which will have to be discharged into the natural drainage system at or near the well location. Piping will be used to reach natural wash areas and energy dissipators will be used to prevent wash outs and streambed alteration. A Fish & Game approved Tortoise Monitor will be employed to prevent impacts to the desert tortoise during construction and development of the well and pipeline.
