Document Description
The Operator proposes to alter the stream to clean and maintain approximately 19,000 linear feet of existing 8-inch and 18-inch vitrified clay pipe and 8-inch, 12-inch, and 15-inch poly-vinly chloride pipe from existing manholes within Shepherd Canyon and a tributary side canyon. Work will be accomplished using an all surface vehicle (ASV) and trailer-mounted bucketing or rodding equipment. Equipment access will utilize existing unpaved access roads and trails throughout the canyon to the extent possible. Where necessary, vegetation will be cleared and minor grading will be done to create access for equipment needed to perform the work. Native riparian habitats found on site include: southern willow scrub, coastal and valley freshwater marsh, and open water.

Reasons for Exemption
This 33-year old sewer pipeline shows severe deteriorated conditions including 75% root intrusion of the joints and heavy grease build-up throughout the entire length of the pipeline. In the event of a sewer overflow, a significant amount of sewage would flow into the San Diego River and the Pacific Ocean, threatening wildlife habitat and public health and safety. Emergency cleaning is needed to prevent imminent spills and to avert further spills.
