Altamont Pipeline Project Draft EIR

Altamont Pipeline Project Draft EIR

The Altamont Pipeline Project would convey potable water to portions of eastern Alameda County by connecting the future Altamont Water Treatment Plant to Zone 7's existing Cross Valley Pipeline near Kitty Hawk Road and I-580 in Livermore, CA, with a second connection to Zone 7's existing Vasco Pipeline at Vasco Road, also within the City of Livermore. The proposed project would entail constructing about 11-12 miles of buried potable water pipeline. The pipeline would be graded for gravity flow. It would be up to 48 inches in diameter, and would accommodate a normal peak capacity of 42 MGD with fluctuations up to 46 MGD. It would be equipped with the following appurtenant facilities: in-line valves to control and isolate flow in the pipeline, air valves, blowoffs, pressure-reducing valves, access manways, access roads, and backup facilities to provide a water supply to the future AWTP for maintenance, operations, and plant startup when the AWTP or South Bay Aqueduct is out-of-service.
