Foothill Phase II Water Treatment Plant and Pipeline

Foothill Phase II Water Treatment Plant and Pipeline

Placer County Water Agency (PCWA) is the lead agency for the operation and review of a draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed Foothill Phase II Water Treatment Plant and Pipeline Project (proposed project). In response to significant regional growth and in accordance with PCWA's Water Systems Infrastructure Plan (WSIP), PCWA plans to augment exising water supplies with a new treated water supply. Facilities that are addressed in this EIR include: * A new raw water intake pipeline (54 inch) connecting the Auburn Tunnel Pump Station No. 2 (ATPS) transfer basin and the water treatment plant (WTP); * A new water treatment plant (30 million gallons per day [mgd]), which will include an administration/maintenance building, pretreatment facilities for turbidity and organics reduction, filtration system, a chemical building, associated chemical feed systems, on-site storage facilities, and solids handling facilities; * A new treated water delivery pipeline (ranging from 60 to 42 inches) that will connect the new WTP to an existing transmission system near the intersection of Taylor Road and Rock Springs Road. An additional pipeline segment will convey treated water at a point near the intersection of Taylor and Callison Roads and continue west to the City of Lincoln metering station and the Sunset 10 mgd water storage tanks; and * A new 12 inch treated water delivery pipeline that will begin near the Interstate 80 park-n-ride lot and continue southwest to the existing Newcastle system in Taylor Road.
