Document Description
City Council Approval to allow for the enlarging and enhancing of riparian habitat along a segment of Chollas Creek. The proposed project includes the removal of existing concrete within the channel, widening of the creek bed in order to reduce flood potential, and restoration of native vegetation. Riparian habitat would be created where the creek was previously developed with an open box culvert and a pedestrian trail would be constructed within the ruderal upland portion of the site located adjacent to riparian habitat. The proposal includes the abandonment of 1,150 lineal feet of existing 18-inch internal diameter vitrified clay pipe (VCP) and approximately 122 lineal feet of eight-inch internal diameter VCP located along the proposed project segment of Chollas Creek. In addition, four manholes located within the Chollas Creek creekbed are proposed to be abandoned. The abandonment would include the installation of new ten-inch internal diameter poly-vinyl chloride sewer main and associated manholes on private property outside and north of the re-graded channel in order to serve two of the existing laterals north of the proposed abandonment segment. It is envisioned that this new sewer main would involve a new 20-foot sewer easement which would be located atop of the public right-of-way easement covering the proposed trail. The abandonment would be accomplished by either concrete slurry filling of the pipeline or by excavation and crushing of the pipe in place. The 4.2-acre project site is located near the intersection of Market Street and Euclid Avenue within the Encanto Neighborhood of the Southeastern San Diego Community Plan area. Applicant: City of San Diego, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Division of the Metropolitan Wastewater Department (MWWD).
