Document Description
SAA #R5-2002-0229 The Operator proposes to alter the streambed by constructing High Occupancy Vehice (HOV) lanes on State Highway 5 between Routes 118 and 14. To accommodate the HOV lanes, the highways center median over Weldon Creek will be closed with reinforced concrete slabs and a 2-meter diameter column will be installed within the creek's banks. A temporary desilting basin will be installed during column placement. Temporary access will be provided by two 1.2 meter wide by 26 meter long pipes (to convey creek water through the site) covered with sandbags and gravel. Placement of columns will occur from the banks. Demolition debris will be prevented from entering the channel with protective covers.
